| | 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. | | | In part, the filioque was originally proposed in order to stress more clearly the connection between the Son and the Spirit, amid a heresy in which the Son was taken as less than the Father because he does not serve as a source of the Holy Spirit. |

| | What is the filioque clause / filioque controversy? |
| | Those who uphold the filioque clause believe that the Holy Spirit proceeding from both the Father and the Son does not impact the Spirit being equally God with the Father and the Son. | | | Answer: The filioque clause was, and still is, a controversy in the church in relation to the Holy Spirit. | | | Those who oppose the filioque clause object because they believe the Holy Spirit proceeding from the Father and the Son makes the Holy Spirit "subservient" to the Father and Son. |

| | 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. |

| | Ask Me... filioque clause, Bayside "apparition," Moslems honor Mary |
| | The rejection of the Filioque and denial of the primacy of Roman Pontiffs are the principal errors of the Greek schismatic Church. | | | "Filioque" means simply "and from the Son." The Holy Ghost proceeds "from the Father and the Son," as from one principle. | | | The Councils of the Church and the Popes did not force the Greeks to insert Filioque into the Nicean Creed, but to accept simply the double procession of the Holy Ghost from the Father and the Son. |

| | ARGUMENT (3): The doctrine of the Filioque is untrue! | | | In a council held in Aachen in 809, the Frankish bishops upheld the FILIOQUE. | | | It undermines the very foundations of the doctrine of the Holy Trinity, in that it denies the nature of the Father, Whose nature it is to be the sole source from which all else is derived. |

| | The Chalcedon Foundation - Faith for All of Life |
| | The filioque put the church, which is the temple and organ of the Holy Ghost in the work of redemption, rather between the Father and the Son, partaking of their own fellowship, according to the great intercessory prayer of Christ Himself. | | | The filioque is vitally connected with the advance of the Western church towards a strong anthropology (in connection with the doctrine of sin and grace), while the Eastern stopped in a weak Pelagian and synergistic view, crude and undeveloped. | | | The Filioque means that the work of the Father and the work of the Son coincide in the operation of the Holy Spirit. |

| | Stylianopoulos - The Filioque: Dogma, Theologoumenon or Error? |
| | The second key factor in the resolution of the filioque question is the recognition that biblical and patristic theology commonlly affirm the teaching of the "monarchy" of the Father, i.e., that the Father is "the sole principle (ἀρχή), source (πηγή), and cause (αἰτία) of divinity" (Klingenthal Memorandum). | | | On a doctrinal level the specific impact of the filioque is on the confession of the faith of the universal Church as attested in the Bible and summed up by the Nicene Creed. | | | On the one hand it affirms the positive intent of the filioque, as interpreted by Western theologians, namely, to uphold the consubstantiality of the Trinity and to express the biblical teaching that the Spirit is also the Spirit of the Son. |

| | Filioque |
| | The Filioque clause expresses this Latin theological tradition, which is part of the heritage of the Latin Church. | | | In all of its dealings with the Eastern Orthodox Churches, the Roman Catholic Church has never asked the Orthodox to embrace the filioque as their understanding of the faith. | | | Thus, when St. Photius protested the recitation of the Filioque in the Creed, he believed himself to be following in the footsteps of the numerous Popes who also opposed this addition. |

| | 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. | | | 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." | | | 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. |

| | The filioque is not, in itself, part of the Apostolic deposit of faith; it is precisely what Zadok refers to: a deduction. | | | Augustine insists that the divine simplicity is protected and the divine persons delineated by clearly differentiating the three relations of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. | | | A simple fact is this: Putting aside the question of whether or not filioque is orthodox (which I would not deny), it really is not part of the Nicene/ Constantinopolitan Creed; it was added later, and without the consent of the whole Church in Ecumenical Council. |

| | Those words were not included by the Council of Nicaea nor of Constantinople, and the Eastern Orthodox churches consider their inclusion to be a heresy. | | | The Anglican Communion is generally sympathetic to the Orthodox position, and both versions are authorized, but inertia leads most churches to continue to include the Filioque except during ecumenical services. | | | Some Christian communions, in particular the World Council of Churches and the Presbyterian Church, USA, omit the word "men", and others substitute the word "all" (or delete the word "men"), in the line "for us men and for our salvation..." This is considered a more gender-neutral translation of nos homines ("we men"). |
