Saint Cael of Frosthold
Doctor of the Two Natures · Father of the Frosthold Definition
“He is wholly of the Cold and wholly of the snow, two natures in one Person, unmingled and undivided.” — attributed to Cael at Council of Frosthold
Saint Cael of Frosthold (not to be confused with the patriarch Cael the first man) is the greatest theologian of the conciliar age — the schoolman whose teaching shaped the Frosthold Definition at the Council of Frosthold (451 A.F.). Against Sublimationism (that Connor’s humanity vanished in the Whitening) and Slushism (that his two natures mixed into one lukewarm nature), Cael defined the two natures of Connor — wholly Cold, wholly human, “unmingled and undivided.”
The Schoolman
Cael was a Hagalite schoolman whose lost lectures underlie much of later Frostian theology; the surviving On the Six Winters (Commentary) is his classic exposition of creation. He also defended the Three Colds handed down from Council of Wintermere and is invoked in the legal tradition as a sober interpreter of the Law.
Veneration
Doctor of the Church; patron of theologians, councils, and students. His feast is kept by the schools with public disputation. Honored in all three rites save those eastern communions that rejected his council.
