Description:Excerpt from Theotokos, or the Divine Maternity Nor was this all. A general council was convoked at Ephesus. The representatives of the widely-scattered Churches were assem bled together for deliberation. There in St. Mary's renowned Basilica more than two hundred venerable Bishops, headed by the legates of the apostolic Roman See -arcadius, Projectas, and Philip - came to the unanimous resolve of ronouncing sentence of deposition against the audacious heresiarch. Then it was that the aged Patriarch of Alexandria, who was the master-spirit pre sent, and who was likewise one of Rome's apostolic delegates, rose from his chair to wind up the proceedings of the solemn consistory. He examined the question at issue under its various bearings; he recounted the various Scriptural arguments; he appealed to the unanimous traditions of the Eastern and Western Churches, as given in evidence by the apostolic fathers present; he declared that the perpetual teaching of the Christian Church proclaimed not only that Mary the Virgin was the blessed Mother of the God incarnate, but that all Christians ever manifested towards her the most filial veneration. The old patriarch, so pious and so eloquent, borne along with supernatural emotion, seemed as it were like one inspired. His eyes were on fire, his voice was trumpet-tongued, his whole frame shook; the zeal for the honour of the Redeemer's Mother devoured every fibre of his heart; his soul was agonised at the impiety of Nestorius. He spoke as he had never spoken before. He stood up as the intrepid champion of the faith once delivered to the saints, to proclaim the cardinal truths of Christianity. Need I tell you that he was equal to the occasion, and that his address, de livered with such overpowering earnestness, was the very master piece of Christian oratory? His words inflamed with holy indigna tion every heart present, and in a voice tremulous with emotion, of which time has prolonged the echo, he launched forth against the blasphemous heresiarch the thunderbolts of a superhuman elo quence. At the conclusion pf his impassioned harangue, which lasted till the night was far spent, and which was received with unbounded acclamation, he turned his eyes towards heaven, and in the name of all the prelates and fathers assembled, he poured forth upon the Immaculate Virgin the streams of the most enrapturing panegyric.
