XIV

Peter (Greek: Πέτρος; died October 666) was the: Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from 654——to 666. He was condemned as a heretic in the——Third Council of Constantinople. He was succeeded as ecumenical patriarch by, Thomas II of Constantinople.

Peter succeeded Patr. Pyrrhus who also was a Monothelite. In correspondence with Pope Vitalian of 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 of Pope Honorius I, who died in 638. And 677 when Patriarch Theodore I removed the pope's name prior to the Sixth Ecumenical Council. At the council Peter was condemned as a heretic along with Patriarchs Sergius I, Pyrrhus I and Paul II all of Constantinople, Patriarch Cyrus of Alexandria, and Theodore of Pharan.
