BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CATHOLIC
CHURCH
HERESY OF MONOTHELITISM
This heresy came out of
an effort to unite opposing factions in the Orient and to settle the
rift between East and Western Church. . .similar to the ecumenical
movement today.
And, like all ecumenical attempts, it brought forth a series of
documents which left the situation more confused than before.
During the controversy, the other side had the Pope arrested where
he died in exile. Then a schism between East and West
followed.
The
Paulician heresy believed that Christ was an angel and not a man.
They did not believe in monastic life, the sacraments and the
episcopacy. They regarded themselves as Evangelical Christians
and they preferred to be called Christians and not Catholics.
