What was inserted in the Constantinopolitan Nicene creed during Nicholas' reign?

  • Filioque

  • The Lord's Prayer

  • Hail Mary

  • The Apostles Creed

Answer

The Filioque is a phrase in the Nicene Creed that says that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son. It was added to the creed during the reign of Pope Nicholas I in the 9th century. The addition of the Filioque was controversial because it was seen as a way of giving the Son more power than the Father.
