===Objections on canonical grounds===
*Though not really a question of heresy, a common objection is to the means of inserting the Filioque into the Creed. That is, unlike the original adoption of the Creed at [[First Ecumenical Council|Nicea]] and its subsequent revision at [[Second Ecumenical Council|Constantinople]], the decision to include the Filioque in the Creed was not done by an [[Ecumenical Council]]. Rather, it was initially inserted by the Third Synod of Toledo, Spain (A.D. 589).
*Rome resisted the inclusion of the Filioque for centuries. Leo III, the Pope of Rome at the time the Filioque began its history in Western theology, strongly advised against its inclusion, even though he agreed with the soundness and validity of the doctrine contained in Filioque. Later, however, Rome contradicted its previous more Orthodox stance by the promulgation of the Filioque, thus anathematizing its own spiritual forebears.
