pope, was a Greek by birth, and reigned from 642 to 649. He excommunicated Paul, the patriarch of Constantinople, in 646, for holding Monothelite views, and recognized in his stead the banished patriarch Pyrrhus, who had recanted his Monothelite errors while at Rome. Pyrrhus, however, returned to his heretical opinions, and Theodore thereupon pronounced the ban against him. Shortly before his death, in 649, this pope convened a synod at Rome which rejected the Typos promulgated by the emperor Constans II; and he also sent a vicar, in the person of the bishop of Dore, to Palestine in order to dismiss all bishops who should be found to hold the Monothelite heresy, and thus stamp out the sect's adherents. He wrote Epistola Synodica ad Paulun Patr. Const., and Exemplar Proposit. Constantinople Transmisse adv. Pyrrhum.
