  Filioque clause - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Christian theology the filioque clause ("and the Son") is a disputed part of the Nicene Creed.
In the ninth century, Pope Leo III agreed with the filioque phrase theologically but was opposed to adopting it in Rome, in part because of his loyalty to the received tradition.
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.

In the ninth century, Pope Leo III agreed to the filioque clause theologically, but was opposed to adopting it in worship in Rome, and insisted on using the Nicene Creed in Mass in Rome as it was expressed at the Council of Ephesus and all the Ecumenical Councils up until that time.

The filioque was originally proposed, perhaps, in order to stress more clearly the connection or link between the Son and the Spirit, amid circumstances in which the writings of the Greek Fathers of the Church, which contained some of the points made in the first paragraph of this article, were not available.

 Filioque - OrthodoxWiki   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Filioque is a Latin word meaning "and the Son" which was added to the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed by the Church of Rome in the 11th century, one of the major factors leading to the Great Schism between East and West.
The filioque was first used in Toledo, Spain in 587 without the consultation or agreement of the five patriarchs of the Church at that time and in direct violation of canons of the Third Ecumenical Council that prohibited unilateral alteration of the Creed by anything short of another Ecumenical Council.

 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).
The practice of adding the Filioque was retained in spite of the papel advice, and in the middle of the eleventh century it had gained a firm foothold in Rome itself.

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.
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.
Arguing that the word Filioque was part of the Creed of 381, the Libri Carolini reaffirmed the Latin tradition that the Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son, and rejected as inadequate the teaching that the Spirit proceeds from the Father through the Son.

The `filioque' is the result of philosophical speculation - principally that of Augustine of Hippo (380-430) - and not of apostolic theology.
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.

 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").
The filioque clause was probably devised in response to Arianism, which denied the full divinity of the Son.
Polarization of the Eastern and the Western concepts of the Trinity is at the root of the Filioque dispute.

 Filioque in the Greek Fathers
Filioque” was confessed from the fifth century in West, through the Athanasian Symbol of Faith (Quicumque), and then by the Councils of Toledo in Visigothic Spain (between 589 and 693 AC).
[4] Finally, Rome admitted “Filioque” into the liturgical Latin version of the Creed in 1014 and the dogma was clearly stated and explained by the Council of Bari (1098) [5], by the fourth Lateran Council (1215), by the second Council of Lyons (1274) and finally by the Council of Florence (1439).
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.

 Filioque
The Filioque is, in fact, situated in a theological and linguistic context different from that of the affirmation of the sole Monarchy of the Father, the one origin of the Son and of the Spirit.
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.

The West removes the Filioque from the ecumenical creed, though continuing to assert its dogmatic status for the churches of the West, and does not require the Eastern churches to affirm it as dogma.

 The Filioque Addition; its Consequences and Influence in the Early Church
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 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.
Therefore, as it was decided in the Ecumenical Council at Nicea in 325 AD, The Father is the source of Godhead, born of none and proceeding from none; the Son is born of the Father from all eternity ('before all ages', as the Creed says); the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father from all eternity.

The doctrine of the Filioque must be understood and presented by the Catholic Church in such a way that it cannot appear to contradict the Monarchy of the Father nor the fact that he is the sole origin (arche, aitia) of the ekporeusis of the Spirit.
In the West, the Filioque was confessed from the fifth century through the Quicumque (or 'Athanasianum,' DS 75) Symbol, and then by the Councils of Toledo in Visigothic Spain between 589 and 693 (DS 470, 485, 490, 527, 568), to affirm Trinitarian consubstantiality.
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.
