Your assertion that: ... the Nicene Creed, ... was passed by a majority vote as early as 350+AD against the wishes of the Eastern Orthodox.

Is balderdash. The Nicene Creed was approved by the Entire Church in 325.

But, if you want to continue claiming the Orthodox objected to the Nicene Creed, and it was passed over their objections, please do. It only makes you look foolish.

While the Nicene Creed was approved by the entire church in 325 divisions developed when the filoque was added for unknown reasons in 38+AD and the Orthodox withdrew their support. I refer you to the article reference I posted in #73 published by the North American Orthodox-Catholic Theological Consultation group.

If I appear "foolish" at least I'll have company of the North American Orthodox-Catholic Theological Consultation group since we both must be in error.
