Theodora was harangued for her licentious conduct. It was she who gave safe harbor to Jacob Serugh who could be considered the founder of the Jacobite church. It has been argued that Theodora, herself, was a Monophysite.

As for Justinian: he first gave orders that all Monophysites were to be hunted down and killed on the spot via fire. He, then. died expressing a very stringent form of Monophysitism.
