		The new emperor strove to revive Monothelism, and sent a letter to the pope which the latter caused to be examined in a synod and condemned.
		Constantine also received a letter from John, the Patriarch of Constantinople, acknowledging that the "apostolical pre-eminence of the Pope is to the whole Church, what the head is to the body", and that "according to the canons he is the head of the Christian priesthood".
