Summary
The Lateran synod of 649 was a deliberate rebuke of imperially backed monothelitism. As the Typos was still in force, the decrees of the synod were thus in direct contravention of imperial policy, a contributing factor to the eventual arrest, exile, and mistreatment of Martin of Rome and Maximus the Confessor. In the aftermath of this persecution, successive bishops of Rome kept silent on the Lateran synod, undoubtedly wishing to avoid further outbreaks of imperial wrath. Tensions between the sees of Rome and Constantinople simmered, as each refused to acknowledge the other.
