The priest Arius caused what became known as the Arian controversy in the 4th Century AD, and he is considered to be a heretic by both the Roman Catholics and the Orthodox Church.
This is because Arius believed that there was a time when Jesus did not exist co-eternally with the Father, and that He was not of the same nature, being and essence as the Father. The Ecumenical Council of Nicea and in particular, St Athanasius, rejected these beliefs as being totally false.

What conflict was the Nicene Creed supposed to resolve?
The Nicene Creed was essentially the outcome of the Council of Nicaea, chaired by Emperor Constantine in 325 CE. The purpose of this Council was to help unify the Church and establish agreed doctrines and procedures for the Church. At the time, there was what seemed a minor conflict within the Catholic-Orthodox Church over the rise of Arianism. Alexander, Bishop of Alexandria, had excommunicated Arius about the year 320 and brought to the Council a proposal that God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit were "of the one substance". This definition was accepted by the Council, thus undercutting the teachings of Arius.
