Emperor Marcian convened the Council of Chalcedon. Pope Leo the Great had to reluctantly approve of it. The 449 Second Council of Ephesus was set aside. The Council of Chalcedon promulgated the 'Chalcedonian Definition'5 that repudiated the notion that Christ had a single nature and said he had two such natures – one physical as Christ the person and other hypostasis or Christ the Spirit. These two natures completed Christ. He was God and he was Man. Disciplinary canons numbering 27 were also issued by this council regarding authority and administration of the Church. Canon 28 – another decree, declared the See of Constantinople was equal to Rome in authority and honour.
It should be noted that in the ritual of sacramentality bread and water are blessed by the priests. This is then distributed among the congregation. Blessing means to make it holy. The molecules are not changed but God is asked to give it a special status and this change is realized or seen according to the belief, faith and spiritual level of each individual in the community. This ritual reminds the partaker of Christ and his sufferings. The breakfast bread does not have these qualities even if our thoughts are with Christ while eating the morning repast. The sacramental rite has to be there to make these emblems holy – to be something other than what the ordinary eyes of the flesh see.6 The bread and water represent the flesh and blood of Christ. Through the sacrament we renew a covenant with the Lord. This covenant was made when one is baptized. Covenant works both ways; God too seals it with His promise. Thus the sacrament has the stamp of both parties. We promise to remember Christ always and follow His commandments. God promises to grace us and bless us with His Spirit. Generally this Spirit refers to the Holy Ghost.7.
