Docetism (dōsēt`ĭzəm) [Gr.,=to appear], early heretical trend in Christian thought. Docetists claimed that Christ was a mere phantasm who only seemed to live and suffer. A similar tendency to deny Jesus' humanity appeared in the teachings of Simon Magus, Marcion, Gnosticism, and certain phases of monarchianism.

No references found | The orthodox tradition has persistently insisted, against gnostics and Docetists in every epoch, that Christ's fleshly humanity was real and not merely a mask. It is evident within contemporary American churches that many Christians are practical docetists and monophysites. As for the Pope's heresy, Manning identifies John Paul II with the second century Docetists, who argued that Jesus was a spirit having only the appearance of a body and therefore only seeming to suffer and die. |
