Rome and Constantinople supported Coptic Christianity in Egypt.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rome did not support Coptic Christianity; it was the Byzantine Empire, centered in Constantinople, that initially supported Christianity in Egypt. However, after the Council of Chalcedon in 451, the Coptic Church in Egypt rejected the decisions of the council, leading to a schism. Constantinople and Rome were aligned with Chalcedonian Christianity, not with the non-Chalcedonian Coptic Christianity.
