		After reading such an extremely firm rejection of Orthodox teaching and a passionate reaffirmation of the Monothelite heresy, the Orthodox reader is astounded that even the most true-believing of ecumenists could believe that Orthodox and Monophysites have reached doctrinal agreement.

		He claims Orthodox, Monophysites and Roman Catholics "have one Holy Writ, one Apostolic Tradition, and sacred origin, the same sacraments and in essence, the same dogmas; (they are) Churches, in essence, of a single faith, a single piety, and a single way of salvation." (p.
