HONORIUS I., the successor of Boniface V. to the see of Rome, was born in Campania, raised to the pontificate in A.D. 626, and died A.D. 638. The beginning of his pontificate was marked by the disturbances of the Welsh clergy, who resisted both the pretensions of the Bishop of Rome, and the erection of Canterbury and York into archbishoprics. Honorius has been accused of inclining towards the heresy of the Monothelites. The justice of the allegation has been denied by Baronius and others. Still the opinion that Honorius held on the subject was pronounced heresy in the 6th Council of Constantinople, A.D. 680. The existing letters of Honorius to Sergius, the patriarch of Constantinople, indicate a leaning towards Monothelism—i.e., the doctrine that our Lord had only a single will; yet Honorius was not disposed to press the question so as to raise discussion.
