Apollinarism

Apollinarism or Apollinarianism was a view proposed by Apollinaris of Laodicea that Christ had a human body but a divine mind.

It was declared to be a heresy in 381 by the First Council of Constantinople, since Christ was officially depicted as fully human and fully God. Followers of Apollinarianism were accused of attempting to create a tertium quid.
