Years: 809 - 809
Pope Leo III forbids the addition of Filioque to the Nicene Creed, when asked to confirm the decision of a Council of Aachen held in 809.
Although he approves of the doctrine thus expressed, he also orders that the Nicene Creed, without Filioque, 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).
