The new emperor, Philippicus Bardanes was an adherent of monothelitism, rejected the arrangements of the Sixth General Council, and demanded Constantine's support of the view that Christ had only one will.

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope Constantine (1017 words)
The new emperor strove to revive Monothelism, and sent a letter to the pope which the latter caused to be examined in a synod and condemned.
Constantine also received a letter from John, the Patriarch of Constantinople, acknowledging that the "apostolical pre-eminence of the Pope is to the whole Church, what the head is to the body", and that "according to the canons he is the head of the Christian priesthood".
John assured the pope that, while co­operating with the Emperor Philippicus, he had always been orthodox at heart, and that the decree, drawn up at the council in which the heretical emperor had hoped to re-establish Monothelism (712), was really orthodox in sense, although not apparently so in words.
