Peter succeeded Patr. Pyrrhus who also was aMonothelite.In correspondence withPope Vitalianof Rome following Vitalian's ascension to the see of Rome, Peter was noncommittal concerning Monothelitism, leading to a restoration of ecclesiastical intercourse between Rome and Constantinople. This resulted the addition of Vitalian's name on the diptychs of the church in Constantinople—the only name of a pope so entered between the reign ofPope Honorius I,who died in 638, and 677 when PatriarchTheodore Iremoved the pope's name prior to theSixth Ecumenical Council.At the council Peter was condemned as a heretic along with PatriarchsSergius I,Pyrrhus IandPaul IIall of Constantinople, PatriarchCyrus of Alexandria,andTheodore of Pharan.
