Monothelitism
One-will-ism — condemned at Constantinople III (681 AD); if Christ has no human will, no human will was healed in him.
Monothelitism held that Christ has two natures but only one will — a compromise formula proposed in the 7th century. Condemned at Constantinople III (680-681 AD), which defined two natural wills — divine and human — the human freely subordinate to the divine. St. Maximus the Confessor was its great opponent: if Christ has no genuine human will, no human will was healed in him.
