Would you have the churches concede what isn't true?

I don't know what the OC (better spell it out... the Orthodox Church... Orange County and Eastern Orthodox are just too incompatible) thinks about the "robber synod," but there sure are plenty of Catholic historians who deny that Honorius never spoke the heresy attributed to him, and plenty of theologians who say it doesn't matter since he was at minimum not speaking freely and not from the Chair of St. Peter.

That isn't the point. He was condemned as a heretic by the 6th Ecumenical Council, and this condemnation was accepted by his sucessors and repeated by them in the Papal Coronation Oath until the 11th century. And he was writing to Patriarch Sergius as the teacher of all Christians when he so fumbled orthodoxy.
