Under which pontificate did relations with Constantinople sour?
Pope Leo X
Pope Urban II
Pope John XIX
Pope Paul VI
Answer
Relations between the Western and Eastern Roman Catholic Churches soured under Pope John XIX. This was because he supported the use of the Filioque clause in the Nicene Creed, which stated that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son. The Eastern Church objected to this clause because it believed that it implied that the Son was subordinate to the Father.
