==Nestorius==
−
Cyril is famously known for leading the opposition to bishop Nestorius of Constantinople. Nestorius would not agree to the title Theotokos, “God-bearer” for Mary. He said Mary was not the mother of God but only of the man [[Christ]]. Nestorianism implied that the humanity of Christ was a mere disguise. Cyril represented the [[Pope]] at the Council of Ephesus in 431 and condemned Nestorianism as heresy. In the confusion that followed, supporters of Nestorius would arrange their own synod and Cyril was deposed and imprisoned for three months. Papal legates would confirm the council's actions against Nestorius and declared Cyril innocent of all charges. The result, Nestorius was forced into exile. Cyril died of natural causes in 444 a.d. and his relics remain in Alexandria. <ref>[http://saints.sqpn.com/saintc15.htm Saint Cyril of Alexandria] Star Quest Production Network</ref>
