Thanks, It was my understanding that the Oriental Orthodox rejected the Council of Chalcedon. Is this document clarifying that the disagreement was a matter of language used and not of the theology behind that language?

Do the Oriental Orthodox now teach that Christ has one nature? That they do not in fact believe in monophysitism?

The Oriental Orthodox say Jesus has One Nature, but what they mean by it amounts to what all Chalcedonian Christians believe.

There have been numerous Christological declarations between Rome, the Eastern Orthodox, and the various Oriental Orthodox jurisdictions to that effect.

Some more militant OOs accuse Chalcedonians of being “Nestorians”, though.
