Best Answer

A:

Pope St. Leo III (795-816) was a generally cautious man. For example, he forbade the addition of the filioque clause ('and the son') to the Nicene Creed, yet allowed its continued use.

During his reign as pope, Leo III was accused of adultery, perjury and other crimes. Charlemagne seems to have believed the accusations, but Leo cleared himself by an oath of purgation.
