| | Filioque clause - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In this context, the filioque was a means to affirm the full divinity of both the Spirit and the Son. | | | It is not just a question of establishing a connection with the Father and his divinity; it is a question of reinforcing the profession of Catholic faith in the fact that both the Son and Spirit share the fullness of God's nature. | | | The filioque clause was the main subject discussed at the 62nd meeting of the North American Orthodox-Catholic Theological Consultation, which met at the Hellenic College/ Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in Brookline from June 3 through June 5, 2002, for their spring session. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Filioque |
| | The rejection of the Filioque, or the double Procession of the Holy Ghost from the Father and Son, and the denial of the primacy of the Roman Pontiff constitute even to-day the principal errors of the Greek church. | | | While outside the Church doubt as to the double Procession of the Holy Ghost grew into open denial, inside the Church the doctrine of the Filioque was declared to be a dogma of faith in the Fourth Lateran Council (1215), the Second Council of Lyons (1274), and the Council of Florence (1438-1445). | | | On the one hand, it expresses the Procession of the Holy Ghost from both Father and Son as one Principle; on the other, it was the occasion of the Greek schism. |

| | USCCB - The Filioque: A Church-Dividing Issue? |
| | A central emphasis of this Creed was its strong anti-Arian Christology: speaking of the Spirit as proceeding from the Father and the Son implied that the Son was not inferior to the Father in substance, as the Arians held. | | | The earliest use of Filioque language in a credal context is in the profession of faith formulated for the Visigoth King Reccared at the local Council of Toledo in 589. | | | Ecumenical discussions of the Filioque between the Orthodox Churches and representatives of the Old Catholics and Anglicans were held in Germany in 1874-75, and were occasionally revived during the century that followed, but in general little substantial progress was made in moving beyond the hardened opposition of traditional Eastern and Western views. |

| | Filioque in the Greek Fathers |
| | Given the insistent objections of the orthodox theologians with respect to the Catholic dogma of “Filioque,” we want to prove in the present essay that the Catholic teaching on the procession of the Holy Spirit is in harmony with the most important Greek Fathers and of course, with the Gospel itself. | | | qui ex Patre Filioque procedit.” Thus, “Filioque” means “and from the Son.” [1] In theology this word signifies a catholic dogma, which affirms that the Holy Spirit “has His nature and subsistence at once [simul] from the Father and the Son and He proceeds eternally from both as from one principle and through one spiration.” | | | Although it seems that all the Fathers of the Church (both in Orient and in Occident) defined the procession of the Holy Spirit as being dependent upon the Son, not all of them used the same way of expressing it. |

| | THE FILIOQUE:TRUTH OR TRIVIA? |
| | Not uncommon is the opinion that the filioque, and the controversy surrounding it, is a piece of medieval theological trivia. | | | Only in the eleventh century was the `filioque' finally appended to the Creed, the consequence of the Roman bishop's losing the true "mystagogy", the consequence of the West's adopting the metaphysical principles of Greek philosophy. | | | a) The `filioque' sets up two "causes" in the Trinity, the Father and the Son; or the Father and the Son are together the one "cause" of the Spirit. |

| | Filioque |
| | The Catholic Church interprets the Filioque with reference to the conciliar and ecumenical, normative, and irrevocable value of the confession of faith in the eternal origin of the Holy Spirit, as defined in 381 by the Ecumenical Council of Constantinople in its Symbol. | | | The fact that in Latin and Alexandrian theology the Holy Spirit proceeds ( proeisi) from the Father and the Son in their consubstantial communion does not mean that it is the divine essence or substance that proceed in him, but that it is communicated from the Father and the Son who have it in common. | | | Against Arianism, which was still virulent in the West, its purpose was to stress the fact that the Holy Spirit is of the same divine nature as the Son, without calling in question the one Monarchy of the Father. |

| | Filioque Controversy |
| | Filioque is a combination of Latin words meaning "and from the Son," added to the Nicene Creed by the Third Council of Toledo in 589: Credo in Spiritum Sanctum qui ex patre filioque procedit ("I believe in the Holy Spirit who proceeds from the Father and Son"). | | | To the Byzantines, however, the clause also appeared to compromise the primacy ("monarchy") of the Father, which according to the Eastern church is the source of deity. | | | The Eastern and Western churches have remained separate, and the doctrine represented by the term filioque stands as one of the primary points of difference between them. |

| | The Filioque debate has had tragic consequences for the Western and Eastern churches and for the mission of the gospel in the world. | | | This is not to say, however, I agree with traditional Catholics that the Filioque is a matter of church-dividing consequence, for all the reasons I have already noted in earlier postings. | | | And it is important to note that the Eastern Church remained in communion with the West, despite the Western confession of the Filioque in its Fathers and synods. |

| | On the Question of the Filioque |
| | It is with a prayer to the Holy Spirit that all the liturgical services of the Orthodox Church begin, and with an invocation of his name that the eucharistic mystery is effected. | | | The doctrine of the Filioque appeared to them, consequently, as Semi-Sabellianism (to use the expression of Photius). | | | [During the sixth century certain anti-Arian councils in Spain had inserted in the Nicaean-Constantinopolitan Creed the word Filioque which was not in the original (Credo... |

| | The Filioque Addition; its Consequences and Influence in the Early Church |
| | The filioque addition, having had such dire effects upon the Early Christian Church, still evokes feelings that the matter is only a trivial Theological concern and holds little or no meaning to the Faith of the individual Christian Believer. | | | Thus when Rome and the West says that the Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son, and when Constantinople and the East says that He proceeds from the Father alone, both sides are referring not to the outward action of the Trinity towards creation, but to certain eternal relations within the Godhead. | | | By Petros Presbeftes Copyright 1989 All Rights Reserved The filioque addition to the Nicene Creed was the decisive dividing factor over which the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church parted company and which led to the Great Schism of 1054. |

| | The Wording of the Nicene Creed |
| | The filioque clause has been cited as one of the official causes of the schism between the Western and Eastern Churches in 1054. | | | In the original Greek text, this last section reads, "And in the Holy Spirit the Lord and Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father, who together with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified..." Thus, the Creed we profess at Mass was actually promulgated by the Council of Constantinople. | | | Several Church fathers argued that the meaning of the filioque clause was no different from the meaning of the succinct teaching, "Father through the Son." |

| | That is because the Filioque distorts the doctrine of the Trinity and as a result, the doctrine of the Church. | | | The Filioque has the effect of obscuring this Scriptural vision of God as hierarchical family of equal Persons. | | | The Filioque's distortion of the doctrine of the Trinity also led directly to the oftlamented "neglect" of the Holy Spirit in the Western Church, which same neglect the Charismatic Movement in this century set out to heal. |

| | In the Filioque, this emphasis on likeness of Divine substance between the Father and the Son results in the subordination of the Holy Spirit. | | | By regarding some Divine substance as the source of the Holy Trinity, the existence of the Three Divine Persons is made a kind of logical necessity, thus undermining the autonomy of the Holy Trinity. | | | But this does not answer the question at hand, for the distinction of the Divine Persons must lie in the nature of the Godhead, not in the relation of God to a universe which He need not have created. |

| | All The Fulness: The Whole Filioque Thing |
| | The problem with the filioque doctrinally is that western theologians fail to distinguish between the eternal procession and the temporal mission of the Holy Spirit. | | | The filioque was introduced into the Creed by Spanish bishops sometime in the ninth or tenth century, as a way to combat Arianism, which was afflicting the Spanish Church at that time. | | | At first, the Pope refused to include the filioque in the Creed as used in Rome; but eventually (sometime in the eleventh century), the Roman Church began to use the Creed with the filioque included. |

| | This is a very valuable statement on the thorny issue of the Filioque, which clarifies many aspects of the position of the Roman Catholic theology on this matter. | | | For him the Filioque was not heretical because its intention was to denote not the åêðïñåýåóèáé (ekporeuesthai) but the ðñïåßíáé (proeinai) of the Spirit. | | | East and West can easily continue dialogue also as regards the Filioque question providing there is full acceptance of the doctrine of tradition on the monarchia of the Father. |

| | The Nicene Creed and the Filioque: A Lutheran Approach |
| | The Filioque teaching in the Latin Christian tradition, and the parallel forms of expression that were used by many of the Greek Fathers, do in fact reflect an important Biblical truth that is intimately connected to the Christocentric soteriology of Holy Scripture. | | | These Ukrainian Lutherans, with roots in the Greek Catholic Church and in the Eastern Orthodox Church, were Byzantine-Rite Lutherans who used in their worship services a Lutheran revision of the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom. | | | The growing tensions over the Filioque issue finally flared up in the year 867 when Photius, the Patriarch of Constantinople, accused the Western Church of heresy because of its belief that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son. |

| | One issue still dividing east and west, Orthodox and Catholic Churches, is the issue of the "filioque"--both the doctrine of the procession of the Holy Spirit from the Father *and the Son* ( filioque --in Latin), and the addition of this phrase to the Latin Liturgical Creed. | | | While Fr Alexander seems to view the filioque as distorting the dogma of the Holy Spirit, yet he does allow a possibility that it be held as a "respectable theological opinion" | | | In this selection from a much larger essay, von Balthasar offers some insights into the Filioque and the catholicity of the Church. |

| | Orthodox arguments regarding the filioque are ultimately patristic, scriptural, spiritual, and practical, and not based on theoretical or metaphysical arguments of symmetry or asymmetry, but the observation was made by a father, and I thought I'd pass it on. | | | However, union is still possible on the filioque issue through the recognition that the formulas "and the Son" and "through the Son" mean the same thing. | | | Note that Agrarian repeats what is also the Catholic dogma, misstated by me with the loose usage of "proceed": that the Son is begotten and the Spirit proceeds, but the implication is that there is no co-procession from the Son. |
