Chapter 2 — Anathemas VIII–XIV
Section 12. XII. If anyone defends the impious Theodore of Mopsuestia, who has said that the Word of God is one person, but that another person is Christ who was troubled by the passions of the soul and the desires of human flesh, was gradually set free from inferior things, and became better by his progress in good works, and could not be faulted in his way of life, and as a mere man was baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and through his baptism received the grace of the Holy Spirit, and came to be deemed worthy of divine sonship; and that he is venerated, after the manner of an image of the emperor, as one person of God the Word, and that the said Theodore said that the union of God the Word with Christ is like to that which, according to the Apostle, is between a man and his wife, 'the two shall be in one flesh'; and if anyone defends his most impious writings, and does not anathematize him and these writings as well as all who accept or vindicate him, or who say that he expounded the faith correctly, and those who write or have written in favour of him and his impious works: let him be anathema.
