The Seven Ecumenical Councils, Part 6: Constantinople III (680-681)

What is Monothelitism, and why did the Sixth Ecumenical Council condemn it as heresy?In this episode of FACTS, Stephen Boyce examines the Third Council of Constantinople (680–681) and its decisive rejection of Monothelitism—the teaching that Jesus Christ has only one will. He will explain why the Church affirmed that Christ possesses two wills, divine and human, and why this doctrine is essential for preserving Christ’s full humanity and the reality of human obedience in salvation.What we cover: • What Monothelitism is and why it was promoted as a theological “compromise” • How the Sixth Ecumenical Council defined two wills and two operations in Christ • Why Pope Honorius I was condemned for negligence rather than dogmatic teaching • How Pope Leo II confirmed the council’s judgment from Rome • What this council reveals about conciliar authority, papal responsibility, and episcopal accountability#EcumenicalCouncils #PapalAuthority #HonoriusI#Monothelitism #FACTSPodcast Additional Links for more Information:Erick Ybarra: https://www.patreon.com/collection/1283607?utm_campaign=collectionshare_creatorMichael Lofton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIIW_Me9zIshttps://youtube.com/live/F5MwBdUbEYU?feature=share
