Pope St. Hormisdas condemns Theopaschism as Heresy which inclines to Monophysitism
" There are some people who have lied to faithfuls, with arranged their heresy and made a formula which stated that " One of The Trinity was crucified and died ", I want to affirm that formula contained error. Because when The man Christ Jesus died on Cross, at the same time The Word of God also created creatures, treated creatures, and He who was consubstantial with God The Father and One with The Father, cannot be died and cannot be crucified on His Divinity. When The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, He suffered the death because His Humanity which is limited on Time and Space. While The Word himself on Divinity, cannot be limited on Time and Space. God himself cannot be changed or mutable, But He became a human with controls the son of man was made of Virgin on His Human Being" (Condemnation of Scythian Monks in 521, by Pope St. Hormisdas)
"One of the Trinity was crucified". It was promulgated at Constantinople in 519 by John Maxentius and numerous Scythian monks who were upheld by Justinian (Theopaschite controversy). The patriarch and the pope's legates opposed the demand that this formula should be embodied as a dogma of the Church. The monks then proceeded to Rome where they caused some trouble; they also addressed the African bishops then residing in Sardinia. In 521 Pope St. Hormisdas I pronounced that the formula in question, although not false, was dangerous because it admitted of a false interpretation; that the Council of Chalcedon needed no amendment.
Pope St. Hormisdas made several demands: (1) The emperor should publicly announce his acceptance of the Council of Chalcedon and the letters of Pope Leo; (2) the Eastern bishops should make a similar public declaration, and in addition anathematize Nestorius, Eutyches, Dioscorus, Aelurus, Peter Mongus, Peter the Fuller, and Acacius, with all their followers; (3) everyone exiled in this dispute should be recalled and their cases reserved for the judgment of the Apostolic See; (4) those exiles who had been in communion with Rome and professed Catholicism should first be recalled; and (5) bishops accused of having persecuted the Orthodox should be sent to Rome to be judged.
