pope honorius i

pope honorius i -lrb- died 12 october 638 -rrb- reigned from 27 october 625 to his death in 638 .
honorius , according to the `` liber pontificalis '' , came from campania and was the son of the consul petronius .
he became pope two days after the death of his predecessor , boniface v .
the festival of the elevation of the cross is said to have been instituted during the pontificate of honorius , which was marked also by considerable missionary enterprise .
much of this was centered on england , especially wessex .
he also succeeded in bringing the irish easter celebrations in line with the rest of the catholic church .
although honorius never issued a dogmatic -lrb- ex cathedra -rrb- decree in regard to the controversy of christ 's wills , he favoured monothelitism .
he supported a formula proposed by the byzantine emperor heraclius with the design of bringing about a reconciliation between monothelites and the rest of the catholic church .
monothelitism is the teaching that christ has only one will , the divine will , in contrast with the teaching that he has both a divine will and a human will .
to this end , honorius `` sent his deacon gaios '' to a synod in cyprus in 634 hosted by archbishop arkadios ii with additional representatives from patriarch sergius i of constantinople .
the anti-monothelite side in jerusalem , championed by maximus the confessor and sophronius of jerusalem , sent to this synod anastasius -lrb- a pupil of maximus -rrb- , george of reshaina -lrb- a pupil of sophronius -rrb- , two of george of raishana 's own pupils , and eight bishops from palestine .
when the two sides were presented to the emperor , the emperor persisted with monothelitism and so did honorius .
-lrb- george of reshaina , `` an early life of maximus the confessor '' , 316 -- 7 -rrb- he was apparently aware of the rise of islam .
