filioque means " and the son". In the creed we say "We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,who proceeds from the father and the son".

Orthodox religions say "who proceeds from the father through the son" which caused church divisions.

What did the Nicene Creed say about God and Jesus?

The Nicene Creed contains the Church's decision that God and Jesus are of "one substance" and states that the Holy Spirit "proceeds from the Father." A later western Church addition, not accepted by the Orthodox Churches, adds to this "and the Son" - the filioque clause.


What were Pope Leo III's failures?

A: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.


Why did the Roman Catholic Church insert the Filioque into the Nicene Creed while the The Orthodox Church remains with the original Nicene Creed?

Political reasons To combat Arianism, by trying to make clear that the Son is equal to the Father (yet inadvertently diminishing the importance of the Holy Spirit)


Should the Nicene Creed be recited for a valid liturgy?

Yes, because it is a sum up of the faith. However note : There are other creeds the original Nicene creed without the addition of the Filioque is recited in all Eastern churches and can be recited in Western churches but the Nicene creed with the addition of the Filoque is the main creed for the Western churches. There are two other creeds, the Apostles Creed which is sometimes said at Mass and the Athanasian Creed. The Nicene Creed is said only at Sunday Mass and on Holy Days of Obligation. It need not be said at daily Mass unless the priest or congregation prefers to do so.


What does the Nicene Creed say about the Holy Spirit?

A:By the third century, the Holy Spirit was beginning to be seen as a definite third force in Christian theology. The Nicene Creed, first promulgated at the First Council of Nicaea in 325 and modified at the First Council of Constantinople in 381, states that the Holy Spirit "proceeds from the Father." It does not say explicitly that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Son as well as the Father. The third Ecumenical Council, the Council of Ephesus in 431, forbade any further changes to the Creed, except by another such council. By this time, then, the text of the Nicene Creed had acquired a certain definitive authority of ecumenical value and importance.The phrase "and the Son" (in Latin filioque) was first added to the Nicene Creed at the Synod of Toledo in Spain in 447, but this only had local effect. In the ninth century, Pope Leo III (795-816) agreed with the filioque theologically but was opposed to adopting it in Rome, and had the traditional text of the Creed, without the filioque, displayed publicly. In 1054, the filioque became an issue when Pope Leo IX added it to the Nicene Creed without the consent of a Council of the entire Christian Church. Henceforth, in Roman Catholic and Protestant Churches, the Nicene Creed says that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son, but the Orthodox Churches retain the original text in which the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father.


What is a filioque?

It is Latin for "and the Son" and comes from a phrase in the Nicene Creed referring to the Holy Spirit " . . .who proceeds from the Father and the Son." It is a bone of contention between the Catholic and Orthodox Churches as the phrase was inserted at the Council of Nicea. Before the Council is read, ". . .who proceeds from the Father." The members of the Orthodox Churches do not accept the "filioque" addition to the Creed.

What is the christian churches creed?

The Apostle's Creed is a short version of the Nicene Creed. If someone asks you, "What do Catholicsbelieve in?", you could tell them the Apostle's Creed if you just want to summarize it or the Nicene Creed if you want to give them exactly what you believe in. But the Christian church's creed is the Nicene Creed.
