    I was surfing a bit and came across Charlemagne ( 2 April 747 - 28 Jan 814 [age 66] )
    His religion is (click on this link:) Chalcedonian Christianity

    a term referring to the branches of Christianity that accept and uphold theological resolutions of the Council of Chalcedon, the Fourth Ecumenical Council, held in 451.[1] Chalcedonian Christianity accepts the Christological Definition of Chalcedon, a Christian doctrine concerning the union of two natures (divine and human) in one hypostasis of Jesus Christ, who is thus acknowledged as a single person (prosopon).[2][3] Chalcedonian Christianity also accepts the Chalcedonian confirmation of the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed, thus acknowledging the commitment of Chalcedonism to Nicene Christianity.[4][5]

    Heavy stuff. Not like us today, arguing over whether a church should have drums.

    Most of the Christian sects we're familiar with are Chalcedonian Trinitarians. There are a number of groups in Africa and Asia that are non-Chalcedonian Trinitarians, as well as more familiar groups like Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons and Oneness Pentecostals who are non-Trinitarians (and thus automatically non-Chalcedonian).

    At the same time, how edifying is it to ordinary Christians to fight about the procession of the Holy Spirit (which divided East from West) and the exact definition of the nature (or natures) of Christ (which split the Orthodox from the Oriental Orthodox). l'm all for sound doctrine, but sometimes theological formulations create more strife than clarity.
