4.15 The Heresies-Nestorianism: Two People in One | Way of the Fathers

The pendulum swings again as Nestorius overreacts against Apollinarius, and emphasizes the distinction between the two natures in Christ, to the point of describing a radical separation of natures. It was as if Nestorius was saying that Christ is not one Person, but two - a divine Person and a human Person, united only as long as the human will submits to the divine will. This solution corrected Apollinarius’ diminished human nature, but it divided the life and actions of Christ into two, even to the point of claiming that Mary was not the Mother of his divine nature.

Catholic Culture is one of the best sources for Catholicism. It is a shame this channel doesn't get more views. These Way of the Fathers are excellent.
