St Basil himself says that the creed of Constantinople 381 added to the nicene creed and even was open to additions about the incarnation. Well well well, I guess the consensus of fathers support the addition of the Filioque after all
Firstly , Constantinople 1 Wouldn't be an Ecumenical council unless a Pope Validated and RATIFIED IT as a Council .It would have been a Mere Synod without Papal ratification

So what gave the Orthodox easterners the right to Add the the Latter half of the Creed to the existing Nicene Creed.
(Because the Creed we recite today is the Nicene-Constantinopolitan creed) .

If an Orthodox considers adding one word to the Creed to be "another creed," then wouldn't removing large chunks of the original Nicene Creed also qualify as "another creed"? If an Orthodox were to retort, "But the filioque clause is heretical, so it corrupts the Creed," then the Orthodox condemn themselves for being in communion with the Western Church, which taught the filioque. As Orthodox author Edward Siecienski notes, "by the late sixth century the filioque achieved a level of acceptance in the West bordering on unanimity,.

The Numerous Church fathers accepted the Filioque as well... the Orthodox have No reason to Reject it
This shows that even before the New Testament canon was closed, the Church already recognized a kind of primacy in Rome. The bishop of Rome was seen not just as another leader, but as a shepherd for the whole Church, long before it was formalized at later councils. Early papacy? It was already in motion.
WHY DID THE CHURCH IN CORINTH APPEAL TO ROME AND NOT JOHN THE APOSTLE ?
One of the earliest pieces of evidence for the papacy comes from around AD 96, during a crisis in the Church of Corinth. Some presbyters had been unjustly removed, and guess who they turned to for help? Not the Apostle John, who was still alive and living closer to them in Ephesus, but Clement, bishop of Rome (Pope Clement I). That's huge. Think about it: Why would a church bypass a living apostle nearby and appeal all the way to Rome unless Rome already held a special authority? Clement didn't respond casually either. His letter (known as 1 Clement) is firm, authoritative, and calls for obedience. He even warns of spiritual danger for those who ignore his instructions. And the Corinthians accepted it! In fact, they read his letter publicly in their church for decades afterward.
