And can there be a true ecumenical council with two sides in schism? Is this laying groundwork for healing the breach?

Really interesting. As a protestant and someone who professes the Nicene Creed as a representation of the true catholic faith, I'm curious what a new creed would look like that represents the true catholic faith as understood by the Roman Catholic Church.

You can probably let your curiosity rest on that. Given all the trouble we had 1200 years ago when the single word “filioque” was added to the Creed in Latin, I seriously doubt any new Creed will ever be entertained. I saw a “Native American Creed” once and it was a theological atrocity. *shudder*

There are of course other legit creeds that we use from time to time: the Apostles Creed and the Athanasian Creed. I guess theoretically we could have more, but the Nicene Creed is what it is and won’t change.

Interestingly, when the Pope says the Nicene Creed in Greek, he does not say the filioque.

I seriously doubt they would attempt to tinker with the current Nicene Creed.

The old one, which we recite (or sing) at Mass every Sunday, works just fine, thanks. :-)

We’re staying with the old one. OK, so we added “and the Son,” sparking a bug sticking point between East and West. So that issue will have to be resolved.
