New page

The '''Sixth Ecumenical Council''' took place in [[Constantinople]] in [[680]]-[[681]] AD, and is also known as the '''[[Third Council of Constantinople]].'''

==History==
The sixth of the [[Ecumenical Councils|seven Ecumenical Councils]], called together by St. [[Constantine the New]], dealt with the following:
*Condemning the heresy of the Monothelites

By this point, [[Arianism]] had become largely marginalized and many Arians were accepted back into the Church. But a new attack on the Person of [[Christ]] emerged in the form of the Monothelites. The Monothelites argued that Christ has only one will, for He is one person albeit with two natures. The Council felt that this "impaired the fullness of Christ's humanity," and that human nature without human will would be incomplete. That affirmed that since Christ was true man and true God, He must have two wills: a human will and a divine will. [[Monothelitism]] was condemned as heresy.

==Commemoration ==
The '''Holy Fathers of the Sixth Ecumenical Council''' are commemorated on [[January 23]] and also on the 9th Sunday after [[Pentecost]] the [[Sunday of the Fathers of the First Six Councils]].
