Perhaps Leo III's greatest failure was in his opposition to changing the Nicene Creed to suit contemporary theological inclinations. Leo forbade the addition of Filioque ("and the Son") to the Nicene Creed, when asked to confirm the decision of a Council of Aachen held in 809. He also ordered that the Nicene Creed, without the Filioque clause, be displayed on silver tablets placed in Saint Peter's Basilica, adding: "Haec Leo posui amore et cautela orthodoxae fidei" (I, Leo, put these here for love and protection of orthodox faith). In spite of this, the Filioque clause eventually became part of Catholic doctrine, although it played a major part in the Great Schism of 1054.
