Contribution of the Western Church Christology summarized in Leo the Great’s thought turned out to be crucial in formulating the Chalcedonian dogma. The pope’s thought was formed also as a reaction to reflection of schools in Alexandra and Antioch. The article mentions the relation between the pope’s Christology and soteriology. It stresses the role of Christ’s humanity in salvation of a man. One may say that owing to Leo’s “dyophysitic” Christology the Council Fathers affirmed the humanity of Christ. From that perspective the Chalcedon Council is not only a guidepost on the way leading to the mystery of Jesus Christ, but it also secondarily indicates the mystery of a man.
