CHAPTER

The Nicene Creed and the Filiote

The filioqué clause was added to the Nicene Creed by Spanish bishops. The West resisted adding it for a long time, but in 1014 Rome began recitation of the creed with the Filioqué. This caused tremors with the East because they're saying, "You're not supposed to add anything to the creed" In 879 at Constantinople there is a clause that says you don't add anything unless Satan stirs up some kind of heresy.
