| | Pope St. Leo II, Plinio Correa de Oliveira commentary on the Saint of the Day, July 3 @ TraditionInAction.org |
 | | St. Leo II (682-683), Pope and confessor, approved the documents of the Sixth Ecumenical Council (Third Council of Constantinople) which had been convened by Pope St. Agatho, his antecessor. |
 | | Monothelism was condemned by the successors of Pope Honorius: Pope Severinus (640-640) formally condemned it, Pope John IV (640-642) and Pope Theodore I (642-649) excommunicated Pyrrhus, patriarch of Constantinople, for defending the same error. |
 | | He approved the conclusions of the Sixth Ecumenical Council, which condemned the pope, who, according to the words of St. Leo II “instead of purifying the Apostolic Church, permitted the immaculate to be maculated by a profane treason.” Pope Leo II affirmed this about his antecessor, Pope Honorius. |
