During the Christological disputes many of the catholicates in the Middle East rejected certain of the later [[Ecumenical Councils]], with most becoming [[Oriental Orthodox]] Churches and one becoming known as the [[Assyrian Church of the East|Church of the East]]. Only the catholicate of the [[Church of Georgia]] accepted Ephesus, Chalcedon, and the councils which followed them. It retains use of catholicos in its first hierarch’s title, which is 'Catholicos-Patriarch of Mtskheta, Tbilisi, and All Georgia.'
