While Theodore's efforts made little impression on Constantinople, it encouraged opposition to the heresy. Pyrrhus even briefly recanted his heresy after debating [[Maximus the Confessor]], but later recanted, leading to his [[excommunication]] in 649.
Theodore also initiated planning for a [[council]] to condemn the ''[[Ecthesis]]'', but the [[Lateran Council ]] of 649 convened after his death.
Theodore was an active pontiff who was good to the poor and a benefactor of his churches. He reposed on [[May 14]], 649 and was buried in St. Peter's Basilica.
