Why isn't the hymn "Only Begotten Son" found in the Roman Liturgy given it is a Chalcedonian Church?

We attribute it to the Emperor Justinian; the Coptic Church attributes it to Pat. Severus of Antioch IIRC. The theopaschite formula ('one of the Trinity suffered for us') was initially rejected by Pope Hormisdas as crypto-monophysite, when some Scythian monks first brought it to Rome in 521. Pope John II accepted it in 533 because of the Edicts of Emperor Justinian. Despite this, it never did permeate the rather conservative Roman liturgy. But the Latin dogmatic manuals do talk of a communicatio idiomatum (communication of properties between the two natures of Christ). Theopaschism wasn't exactly Chalcedonian. It's rather a later corrective to Chalcedonian Christology. |

All that ^, and because the Roman Catholic Church does not use the Divine Liturgies of St. John Chrysostom and St. Basil the Great.
The Roman Catholic Mass does include the Nicene Creed as a "theological statement of faith in the dogma of the Incarnation" which is what "Only Begotten Son" is, I believe.
Is the hymn used in the Orthodox Western Rite liturgies? If not, why not?

The funny thing about it all is that initially the one upset was the Pope (Hormisdas). The akoimetoi were his allies in the East in rejecting theopaschism. Then came another Pope (John II) who was more docile towards the new Imperial Edicts on this issue and excommunicated the poor sleepless monks over it... Talk about papal infallibility and consistent magisterium back in the day!  |

Any talk of papal infallibility before Vatican I is an anachronism IMO. |

I'm asking because the hymn is attribute to the Emperor St. Justinian. He would have strong-armed the inclusion of the hymn. In the first millennium, the Emperor usually gets more universal ordinary jurisdiction than the Pope |

I think you have used the phrase 'universal ordinary jurisdiction' more in the last two weeks than anyone ever.
