  Monothelitism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Monothelitism was the christological doctrine that Jesus had one will but two natures (divine and human).
Under the influence of the Patriarch Sergios (of Constantinople), monothelitism was developed during the reign of Heraclius (610-641) as a response to the failure of Monoenergism as an attempt to reconcile the Monophysites with the Chalcedonians.
The Maronite Church in modern Lebanon split from the Church in response to the Monothelite Controversy, although there is dispute as to whether the Maronites were actually Monothelites - the Maronites themselves, now in communion with Rome, deny that their Christology was ever anything but orthodox.

 Third Council of Constantinople - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The chief doctrinal conclusion of the council is that Jesus has two wills as well as two natures (divine and human), and that those two wills did not conflict with or strive against each other.
It thus refuted the heresy of monothelitism, which held that Jesus Christ had only one (divine) will.
When the Emperor Constantine IV first summoned the council he had no intention that it would be ecumenical.

 Macarius of Antioch
Nothing is known of him before the Sixth General Council which deposed him on account of his Monothelitism, and after the council he disappeared in a Roman monastery.
In answer to questions put to him by the emperor he declared that he would rather be cut to pieces and thrown into the sea than admit the doctrine of two wills or operations.
The papal legates seemed determined that Monothelitism should be disposed of once and for all, so, when at the eleventh session the emperor inquired if there was any further business, they answered that there were some further writings presented by Macarius and one of his disciples still awaiting examination.

 Monothelitism
Monothelitism was a 7th - century Byzantine doctrine that accepted the teaching of two natures in Jesus Christ, as defined (451) at the Council of Chalcedon, but declared that he had only one will or mode of activity (energeia).
The Monothelitic formula was adopted (624) by Byzantine Emperor Heraclius as a compromise that might be acceptable to the Monophysites (Monophysitism) of Egypt and Syria.
Monothelitism was a heresy especially prevalent in the Eastern church in the seventh century which said that as Christ had but one nature (monophysitism) so he had but one will (Greek monos, "alone"; thelein, "to will").

 OCA - Feasts and Saints: Life of Saint
The struggle of Orthodoxy with heresy was particularly difficult because in the year 630, three of the patriarchal thrones in the Orthodox East were occupied by Monothelites: Constantinople by Sergius, Antioch by Athanasius, and Alexandria by Cyrus.
The imperial throne was eventually occupied by his grandson Constans II (642-668), an open adherent of the Monothelite heresy.
When the Monothelite Pyrrhus, the successor of Patriarch Sergius, arrived there after fleeing from Constantinople because of court intrigues, he and St. Maximus spent many hours in debate.

 Monothelitism and Monothelites
Such thoroughgoing conclusions were not contemplated by the inventors of Monothelitism, and Sergius merely denied two wills in order to assert that there was no repugnance in Christ's human nature to the promptings of the Divine, and he certainly did not see the consequences of his own disastrous teaching.
The origin of the Monothelite controversy is thus related by Sergius in his letter to Pope Honorius.
He had requested George Arsas, a Monophysite follower of Paul the Black of Antioch, to furnish him with authorities for the "one operation", saying in his letter that he was ready to make a union on this basis.

 White is Wrong (This Rock: April 2001)
Monothelitism held that there was one will and operation-a divine one-in Christ, while Catholic teaching is that there were two wills and operations-divine and human-in Christ.
By agreeing to a rule of silence instead of issuing a rule or definition of faith, Honorius left the monothelite patriarchs of the East an opening to further insinuate the heresy among the faithful.
The active and preeminent role of Rome in the battle against monothelitism is apparent and is as much admitted in the documents of Constantinople III in a number of places.

 Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church - Father Thomas Welbers - Homily
Monothelitism was something that Christians struggled with in the sixth and seventh centuries.
The word “monothelitism” comes from two Greek words, the prefix “mono-” meaning one, and the word “thelema,” meaning “will.” This belief, that Jesus had only one will, God’s will, was of course a very attractive way of understanding the divinity of Christ.
The problem with monothelitism, believing that Jesus did not have a human will but only a divine will, is that it bottom-line denies the full humanity of Jesus Christ.

This was the case with Nestorianism, Monophysitism, and Monothelitism.
Indeed, a parallel can be established between Nestorianism, Monophysistism, and Monothelitism in the earlier centuries of Church history on the one part and Protestantism, Rationalism-Modernism, and ‘Feeneyitism’ on the other part.
On the one hand, Protestantism sought to diminish and destroy the Church’s position as an authoritative body in matters of faith and morals, as well as distorting the consequences of the fall of Adam - instead of human nature being wounded, the Reformers held it was totally corrupted and depraved.

 Morphemics: Monothelitism and the Free Will Defense
I don't so much offer a direct explanation of the free-will defense as I try to explain the different ideas of what the will is and why the free will defense cannot consistently be held by Presbyterians.
Monothelitism is the doctrine that the incarnate Christ has a single will, much like any other person.
Monothelitism was consistent with monophysitism, which is the doctrine that the incarnate Christ had only one nature, the human and divine having been somehow merged.

 Catholic Answers Forums - Honorius and infallibility
The other reading is that Honorius was indeed a monothelite, and was condemned for such, but since his letter was private, he was privately a heretic.
Because of the particular circumstances created at Vatican I for the exercise of papal infallibility, the Vicar of Christ may, in theory at least, be a heretic.
If, for example, the Russian patriarch were to advocate a heresy such as Monothelitism and wrote letters to other Monothelites encouraging them (which is what Honorius did with the monothelite Patriarch of Constantinople Sergius) the Russian patriarch would be deposed very quickly by the Synod of the Russian Church.
