Honorius I
Born in the Campagna to a wealthy consular family, Honorius I reorganized the Spanish church and sent missionaries to Wessex. He also named Canterbury and York metropolitan sees. He preserved and restored structures in Rome and like Gregory I, converted his house into a monastery. In spite of all his good works, the third council of Constantinople condemned Honorius as a monothelite. In correspondence with Patriarch Sergius of Constantinople in 634, the pope argued that the two natures of Christ had one operation and since the Logos acted through the two natures, Christ had one will. The pope then forbade further discussion of the matter. Scholars believe that the pope's language was vague and apologists have argued that Honorius, who died in 638, was neglient in his thought.
