Maronites and the Filioque

[tdgesq]

Well, perhaps there is a way to shock some life back into what I think is a worthwhile thread.

Yeshua, consider this from the Council of Florence:

After that, the Chaldeans sent to us the aforesaid metropolitan Timothy, and Bishop Elias of the Maronites sent an envoy, to make to us a solemn profession of the faith of the Roman church, which by the providence of the Lord and the aid of blessed Peter and the apostle has always remained immaculate . Timothy, the metropolitan, reverently and devoutly professed this faith and doctrine to us, in this sacred general congregation of the ecumenical Lateran council, first in his own Chaldean tongue, which was interpreted in Greek and then translated from Greek into Latin, as follows:
. . .

Also, in future I will always hold and profess that the holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son, as the holy Roman church teaches and holds.

(Emphasis added).

And then this:

Then our beloved son in Christ Isaac, envoy of our venerable brother Elias, bishop of the Maronites, on his behalf and in his name, rejecting the heresy of Macarius about one will in Christ, made with great veneration a profession that was similar in all details.

(Emphasis mine).

Was it really unreasonable for the Popes to require a profession of faith with regard to procession of the Spirit from the Son in light of the oath taken?
