No Filoque Clause in the Original Greek Creed.

( If you disagree show me a LATIN one before an Original Greek Creed
and date it. ( with facts.)

The Filioque Clause

Filioque is Latin for “and the Son,” and refers to the addition in Western Christianity to the Creed regarding the procession of the Holy Spirit (“And in the Holy Spirit, … Who proceeds from the Father and the Son”). It was first introduced at the Third Council of Toledo in 589, and although it was originally rejected by Pope Leo III (who had the original Creed engraved on tablets and placed at the Tomb of St.
Peter, where they exist to this day), in 1014, the Filioque clause was officially inserted by Pope Benedict VIII into the Creed recited by the Western Churches – an addition that exists to this day.

Before he went on a trip to Sri Lanka a couple of years b4 his death, he vainly declared that Buddhism was not a good religion. There was no gnashing of teeth in response from the Buddhists. Now, await the fire and brimstone that is to come from muslims following pope gregory’s brave quote on islam.
Shows the world clearly the great difference between religions, specifically Buddhism and islam doesn’t it?

The Mormons encourage members to baptise the dead by proxy in the belief they are helping the deceased attain full access to heaven.
Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Genghis Khan, Mao Zedong, King Herod, Al Capone and Mickey Mouse have all appeared for a short time in the International Genealogical Index (IGI) for proxy baptisms.

So Benedict looks set to join his predecessor John Paul and a centuries-long list of popes Mormons have baptised — despite the fact that he, back when he was the Vatican’s top doctrinal authority, ruled that Mormon baptisms were not even Christian.

while the ambulance was rushing him to the hospital, the Pope was not praying to God or calling on the name of Jesus. He kept saying, over and over, “Mary, my mother!” Polish pilgrims placed a picture of Our Lady of Czestochowa on the throne where the Pope normally sat. People gathered around the picture. Vatican loudspeakers broadcasted the prayers of the rosary. When the Pope recovered, he gave Mary all the glory for saving his life, and he made a pilgrimage to Fatima to publicly thank her.

one such lawmaker, who also just happens to be Catholic. It has been reported that today, she will be among the group of faithful that will receive communion from the Pope. My question is this; Knowing his stand on this issue, why would she deliberately go to receive communion from him? Also, after taking this stand, why would he serve communion to her? It seems that neither one is adhering to the dictates of the Papal office.
