Thoughts froma Heretic

"Since, therefore, these matters have been determined by us with all possible precision and care, the holy and ecumenical synod decrees that it is not permissible for anyone to propose, write, compose, think, teach anything else. But those who dare to compose another creed or to bring forward or teach or transmit another symbol to people who want to turn to the knowledge of truth from Hellenism or Judaism or from any heresy whatever - such persons, if they are bishops or clergy, are deposed, the bishops from their episcopate and the clergy from their office; but if they are monks or laity they are anathematized." - from Definition Of The Faith from the Council of Chalcedon (451) -

It is from this document that we maintain the idea that Jesus was one person with two natures - Jesus was fully God and fully human at the same time.

1. Why are church leaders only deposed while church members are kicked out?
2. This document basically says, "Stop arguing. Anyone believing what is considered to be an extreme view is wrong. Since Alexandria and Antioch can't agree fully, we will compromise and call it orthodoxy." Instead of making its own claims, this doucment says that the Councils of Nicea and Constantinople said enough on these issues. If that were the case, why was there still arguing and major divisions in the Church on the topic of Christology?
3. I've always been told, "Jesus was fully God and fully human. We will never really understand how that is the case, but it is." Why are people so unwilling to pursue the how question that bothered the church for hundreds of years?
4. Is it just me, or was the Protestant Reformation the worst thing that has ever happened to the Universal Church? So then, why do we praise that time of Church History as if nothing else really matters?
5. If I made heretical claims in college, am I anathematized, and, if so, who has the authority to make that claim about me?
