AI overview
Monophysitism is a Christian doctrine claiming that Jesus Christ had only one divine nature, rather than both divine and human natures. It has been rejected as heretical by most major Christian traditions, including the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Protestant churches, which instead follow the Council of Chalcedon's teaching that Christ had two distinct natures.
