Btw Gamavor, using the same logic the Assyrians of the Assyrian Church of the East can say that we broke off from Orthodoxy as they never recognized the Council of Ephesus which we did!

 

Nope, it is not the same. The Council of Ephesus was basically against Nestorius who tried to do what Chalkedon did - hijacking the Orthodoxy.
