OC, you wrote earlier: "Only the current Holy Father and ST. ATHANASIUS ("Athanasius contra munda -- "Athanasius against the world") were defenders of the Faith orthodox which insisted that Jesus Christ was both truly God and man. "
Now you have said: "2. I'm sorry. I am not familiar with the situation you are quoting me. Could you perhaps enlighten me a bit more? My understanding is that all of the popes have validated the position of Christ's deity, but I am interested in what you can share with me. This has not been an area of study for mre."
Initially you said only two Popes "insisted that Jesus Christ was both truly God and man." Now you have said, "My understanding is that all of the popes have validated the position of Christ's deity...."
I cannot find the quote you are referring to, so I think what I did was to write my opening sentence very very poorly. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/Banghead.gif" alt="" />
Let me apolgize for acting brain dead and see if I can straighten this mess out:
Here's the quote I think I messed up:

What I meant to say was that only St. Anthanasius and THE MAN WHO WAS THE HOLY FATHER [color:"0000FF"]AT THAT TIME[/color]. St. Athanasius was a bishop in the Church, never a pope. What I wrote indeed makes it look like only two popes (the current Holy Father and St. Athanasius) were orthodox in their Christology. My apologies again.[/quote]
