| الوصف: | (CE: 1678a-1678b) MONOTHELITISM. For Egypt and the Coptic church, monothelitism may be taken simply as a continuation of the monenergist crisis with which imperial power in Egypt ended. At CONSTANTINOPLE, two councils in 638 and 639 accepted the ECTHESIS of Emperor Heraclius (610-641). As in other efforts over the previous two centuries to find agreement on a formula reconciling the divergent views held in Alexandria, Constantinople, and Rome concerning the Person of Christ, the attempt to define this as to be acknowledged in two natures moved by a single activity (energeia) failed. With the death of Sophronius, patriarch of Jerusalem, in 638, the leadership of the opposition to the emperor's creed passed to a monk, Maximus the Confessor. There followed a long and embittered controversy that involved the surviving Byzantine province in North Africa as well as the Roman see. The climax came with the debate between Maximus and Pyrrhus, former patriarch of Constantinople, at Carthage in 645, which resulted in a victory for Maximus and condemnation of the view that in Christ there was one activating principle (energeia) and one will (thelema). The papacy also turned against Constantinople, though largely on the grounds of ecclesiastical discipline, in that Pyrrhus had been called sanctissimus, a title to which Pope Theodore I considered he had no claim. In 648 Emperor Constans II (642-668) replaced the Ecthesis with a new document known as the Typos. In this he rejected both the monothelitic and the dyothelitic ("two wills") formulas and forbade their use. At Rome, Pope Theodore summoned a council of 15 bishops at the Lateran Palace in 649, and there the monothelite doctrine was condemned. Both "the most impious Ecthesis" and "the damnable Typos" were denounced, and the existence of two wills in Christ associated with His two natures was proclaimed. The long wars between the Byzantines and Arabs distracted the attention of successive emperors from the issue, and the controversy was not settled until the Third ... |
