Concedo. But I have a vague memory that part of the trouble between the
Orthodox (both East and West at that time) and the Alexandrians (who
repudiate the traditional label 'monophysite', so I will not use it)
was over the propriety of imagery involving "God suckling at a human
breast"; the Alexandrians (perhaps influenced by their Isis/Osiris
heritage?) were for it, the Orthodox against it. Anybody know
more about this?
