Agatho, pope from 678 to 681, was born in Sicily.

 HONORIUS I
Pope Leo II in approving the decrees of the Council stated that Pope Honorius was condemned because "he permitted the immaculate faith to be stained."
Such an introduction to the life of Pope Honorius I is spectacular and suits well the position of this pope in church history, but it does little justice to his achievements as an administrator, highly regarded by his contemporaries.
This is what the Sixth Ecumenical Council and Leo II rightly censured, for Honorius should have been more on his guard, and should have spoken more clearly and forcibly when appealed to as head of the Church.

 Pope St. Leo II, Plinio Correa de Oliveira commentary on the Saint of the Day, July 3 @ TraditionInAction.org
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.
The Ecumenical Council of Constantinople (680-681) condemned Monothelism and Pope Honorius as a heretic.
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.

 Catholic Apologetics International - Robert Sungenis
That is, it is not to be gleaned from Leo II’s remarks that Honorius stood idly by, but that he took an active part in propagating the error (although, as Agatho said, he did it as a private citizen, not as one assuming his “papal authority”).
That later councils followed the lead of Leo II is seen in the fact that the Trullo council, and the seventh and eighth ecumenical councils mentioned Honorius by name and pronounced anathemas upon him.
According to Pope Leo II, Honorius did indeed know of Monothelitism, which is why Leo II said in his condemnation of Honorius: “Honorius, who did not attempt to sanctify this apostolic Church with the teaching of apostolic tradition…” How could Pope Leo II accuse Honorius of not abiding by the tradition if Honorius, as Mr.

 THE RESURRECTION OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
Pope Leo II (the Great) confirmed the conclusion of the Third Council of Constantinople to the effect that Honorius I was "incapable of enlightening this apostolic Church by the doctrine of Apostolic Tradition."

 Dialogue on (Supposedly Fallible) Pope Honorius
Leo also sent private letters to the Emperor, the King of Spain and bishops of Spain condemning Honorius ("...fostered [the heresy] by his negligence...").
Catholics differ as to whether or not Pope Honorius was personally a heretic, but in either case the matter of infallibility isn't involved, as he didn't publicly proclaim the heresy ex cathedra.
So Pope John XXII was a heretic in that regard, but he didn't define the doctrine; therefore papal infallibility was again not relevant, as with Honorius.
