War On Heresies: A Story From The Distant Past

Nestorius is quoted as saying to Emperor Theodosius the Younger, "O Emperor, give me the land free from heretics, and I'll give you the Heaven!" In fact, within 5 days since his becoming the Patriarch of Constantinople, he inspired several police actions against heretics, brought back into use the old laws with regard to heretics, which drove even the least dangerous and aggressive of them out of the city. Incidentally, these also were the days when the word 'anthropotokos' was first uttered by Anastasios, a priest who came to the Imperial Capital, the New Rome, from Antioch with Nestorius. Nestorius wasn't as quick to correct his favourite... The question is, Are those 'zealots of Orthodoxy' who are hostile towards heretics really Orthodox, that is, do they praise the LORD properly? Was Nestorius' case just a coincidence or a tendency? Feel free to share your opinions!
