The Sixth Ecumenical Council, convened in Constantinople between 680 and 681, focused primarily on the Christological controversy of Monothelitism, which proposed that Jesus Christ operated under a single divine will rather than two distinct wills—one divine and one human. This theological debate was significant in early Christianity as it touched upon the nature of Christ and the implications for human salvation and the incarnation. Pope Honorius I, who reigned prior to this council, had been accused of supporting Monothelitism through his letters that seemed to endorse this view. Although he had died in 638, the ramifications of his teachings persisted. The Council sought to clarify the Church's stance against Monothelitism and to condemn its proponents, reaffirming the belief in Christ's two wills. The condemnation of Honorius I, along with the formal excommunication, was a decisive moment. It contributed to the conceptual parting of the ways between various factions within the Church, making a strong statement regarding the authority of ecumenical councils over papal teachings. The ruling confirmed that no pope's opinion could supersede what was deemed necessary for the true doctrine of faith.
