Answer

Pope Vitalian passed away on January 27, 672. His papacy, which began in 657, was marked by significant events such as the spread of Christianity to England through the mission of Saint Augustine of Canterbury. Vitalian's reign also witnessed the rise of the Monothelite heresy, which he condemned at the Lateran Council in 649. His death paved the way for the election of Pope Adeodatus II.
