Summary
Updated 2026-06-08

A seventh-century pope who may have outlived every successor — he reportedly reached over a hundred — Agatho steered Rome through a fractious theological crisis and an archbishop's messy appeal, all while the Eastern and Western churches still spoke to each other.

Biography

About

Born around 577, Agatho became bishop of Rome on 27 June 678, inheriting a church split over monothelitism — the question of whether Christ had one will or two. He convened the Sixth Ecumenical Council to settle it, a rare moment when East and West gathered under one theological roof. Before that, he heard the case of Wilfrid of York, a bishop shoved out of his see after Theodore of Canterbury carved up the archdiocese. Agatho died on 10 January 681, after fewer than three years in office but more than a century, allegedly, on earth. Both Catholic and Orthodox churches venerate him as a saint.
