Constantine called the [[Sixth Ecumenical Council]] (also known as the Third Council of Constantinople) that met from November of 680 until September of 681. During its 18 sittings, 12 of which were actually led by Constantine himself, the council attempted to bring about a reconciliation between the [[Church of Rome|Western Church in Rome]] and the Orthodox Church in Constantinople. The council decreed that Christ had both a divine and human will that matched his two natures, reaffirming the doctrines of the [[Fourth Ecumenical Council|Council of Chalcedon]] in 451. This solved the controversy over [[monothelitism]]. The council's actions helped to promote a feeling of unity between the two churches and bring them closer together than they had been in recent years.
