Pope Honorius I

Pope Honorius I

?–638 CE · Cimitile

Honorius I, a Campanian son of the consul Petronius, was an able administrator who modeled himself on Gregory the Great, promoting missions among the Anglo-Saxons and pressing to end the Three Chapters schism in northern Italy. He restored numerous Roman churches. His name became permanently entangled in controversy: in letters to Patriarch Sergius he appeared to endorse Monothelitism, the doctrine of a single will in Christ. The Third Council of Constantinople (680–681) condemned him posthumously, and his case was later debated in arguments over papal authority and infallibility, particularly at the First Vatican Council. He was buried in St. Peter's.
