While most modern Christian churches are Chalcedonian, in the 5th 8th centuries AD the ascendancy of Chalcedonian Christology was not always certain.

The Chalcedonian churches were the ones that remained united with Holy See Rome , Ecumenical Patriarchate Constantinople and the three Roman Orthodox patriarchates of the East Alexandria, Antioch and Jerusalem , that under Justinian II at the council in Trullo were organised under a form of rule known as the Pentarchy . The majority of the Armenian, Syrian, Coptic, and Ethiopian Christians rejected the Chalcedonian definition, and are now known collectively as the Oriental Orthodoxy Oriental Orthodox churches.
