Unity Blessed vs Condemned

The Third Council of Constantinople (680–681 AD) was the Sixth Ecumenical Council, convened by Emperor Constantine IV to address the Monothelite controversy. The council condemned the teachings of Monothelitism and Monergism, asserting that Jesus Christ had two wills (divine and human) and two operations, which were in complete harmony. It also condemned Pope Honorius I for his role in the controversy, though the Catholic Church later explained this as a personal error, not a formal pronouncement from the papacy. An interesting document to read is "the Maronite Chronicle" which highlights the Maronites interesting relationship with Muslim Umayyad Caliphate. In general it favours the Umayyad Muawiyah over the Caliph Ali in the First Arab Civil War [656-661 AD]. It is the earliest source to record the Islamic battle cry, "God is great" [Allahu Akbar]. It reports with disdain the Syrian Orthodox had accepted the status of dhimma and paid the jizya. This writing was found in Mt Sinai, at St Catherine's Monastery and Adrian C. Pirtea published a recent English reading. "A Hitherto Unknown Universal History of the Early Eight Century: Preliminary Notes on the Maronite Chronicle of 713."
