Far from seeing basic differences in the Roman world, which led to alienation between the East and West, Romanides argues for the existence of "national, cultural and even linguistic unity between East (Byzantine) and West Romans"; that is, until the intrusion and takeover of the West Romans (the Roman Catholics) by the Franks.
The West Romans knew very well that the term procession in the Creed was introduced as a parallel to generation, and that both meant causal relation to the Father, and not energy or mission.
At the foundation of the filioque controversy between Franks and Romans lie essential differences in theological method, theological subject matter, spirituality, and, therefore, also in the understanding of the very nature of doctrine and of the development of the language or of terms in which doctrine is expressed.

 SOCIETY FOR ST JOHN CHRYSOSTOM OF AYATRIADA RUM KATOLIK KILISE
For those unfamiliar with Turkish, "Rum Katolik" does NOT mean "Roman Catholic" in the common English usage of that phrase.
"Rum" is the Turkish for the Greek term "Romaioi", and Romaioi, which looks like the English word "Roman" would normally be accurately translated as "Byzantine" or "Romaioi" (to indicate the East Romans, the inhabitants of the East Roman Empire) in the context of the domains of the former Byzantine, or East Roman, Empire.
The Empire in the East was the direct, organic, and only survivor of the Roman Empire of Augustus Caesar and this is reflected in part by the fact that the name Roman/Romaios continued in use from its establishment in 313 A.D. through to its political end in 1453 A.D..
