Biography:Saint Leo II confirmed the acts of the Third Council of Constantinople and helped transmit its doctrinal decisions to the Latin West. In doing so, he contributed to the final reception of the Church’s condemnation of monothelitism and ensured that the council’s teaching would become firmly rooted in Roman tradition.
His pontificate is also important for the way he described the failure of Pope Honorius I. Leo emphasized that Honorius had not preserved apostolic teaching with the needed vigilance, thereby clarifying the nature of his fault in a way that would matter for later theological reflection.
