After the Council of Nicaea in 325, during the reign of
Emperor Constantius, a man named Macedonius came to power as the Bishop of
Constantinople (unlawfully). Macedonius was a Semi-Arian, but a very specific
type of Semi-Arian. He took the ideas of Arius to their fullest logical extent.
These new ideas became known by the name of their founder, the followers called
“Macedonians.” And no, we are not talking about people from that country here.
