Event Factoid: Severus responded to John by refusing to accept the synod of Chalcedon as a repudiation of Nestorius and Eutyches, because the Chalcedonian creed and the Tome of Leo support Nestorianism; Severus does not believe that anathematizing Eutyches makes the Council of Chalcedon legitimate, because the followers of Arius were still heretics even though they repudiated the teachings of Sabellius.
