Monotheletes
Monotheletes or Monothelites. Adherents of the doctrine that in Christ there were two natures but only one (Gk., monos) will (thelēma). The matter was settled by the second Council of Constantinople (680) which condemned the Monothelete formulas and affirmed the existence of two wills in Christ.
