I think it seems a bit radical to take out the Filioque clause of the Creed in the Roman rite (if that is what is meant by using the original Greek text alone). I am firmly against rapidly making major changes when it comes to matters of religion, particularly doctrinal points. I would stew on it for a few centuries.

Yes - that is what is meant.

"I am firmly against rapidly making major changes when it comes to matters of religion, particularly doctrinal points."

As the Popes were so against adding it in the first place, it could be a relatively simple matter to drop it. After all, the traditional creed that was used in the Latin liturgy was the Apostle's creed anyway - and that has no reference to the filioque.

Oh, I don't know. 1000 years seem long enough.
