 In Rome and the west, the opposition to Monotheletism was reaching fever pitch, and the "Type" of Constans did nothing to defuse the situation; indeed it made it worse by implying that either doctrine was as good as the other.Theodore planned the Lateran Council of 649 to condemn the "Ecthesis", but died before he could convene it; his successor, Pope Martin I, did.Not only did the Council condemn the "Ecthesis", it condemned the "Type" as well.
