^The only problem I might have lifting off Leo's anathema is that I think some EOs will start using the language found in his Tome (I.e. "the Word does this while the flesh does that"). I do not mind them venerating him per se.
In any case, I do not think Maximus' theology is all that problematic. From what I have read about him he seems orthodox.

I do not mind them venerating him per se. EOs already do use that language. Did you mean that you're afraid OOs will start doing it? |

I do have some problems with Maximus not least because I think he failed to understand the Orthodox miathelite position and that all those who speak of one will are tarred with the same brush. I think he prevented a proper reconciliation taking place.

I am afraid they will use that language WHILE being united to our Church. Thus, the OOC might be influenced by Leonian Christology. |

I do realize that he hindered reconciliation. But would you say that his Christology itself was substantially orthodox? |

I think that the christology of the post-553 Chalcedonians is generally and substantially Orthodox enough. The are other issues which have prevented reunion.

^As I have mentioned in my Nine Chapters thread, had some Chalcedonians accepted equally orthodox modes of christological expression without rigidly insisting on a duality of natures, wills, and energies in Christ we probably would have reunited a long time ago. It would seem as if the Melkite Patr. Cyrus believed in the Pseudo-Dionysian Formula "one theandric energy", rather than a heretical form of monoenergism.

I am just about to start reading Will, Action and Freedom - Christological Controversies in the Seventh Century by Cyril Hovorun.
I hope that it will be an interesting read.

Unfortunately the issue was always the status of Chalcedon since agreement could be reached on the substance of the faith.
