 FRANKS, ROMANS, FEUDALISM, AND DOCTRINE Part 3
The Filioque controversy was not a conflict between the Patriarchates of Old Rome and New Rome, but between the Franks and all Romans in the East and in the West.
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.
As a heresy, the Filioque is as bad as Arianism, and this is borne out by the fact that the holders of this heresy reduce the Pentecostal tongues of fire to the status of creature as Arius had done with the Angel of Glory.

But it cannot be doubted that these Scriptural passages to which we have referred not only served as the first forms of confession but also contributed the materials out of which the articles of the church's faith were formulated.

 One Single Source: An Orthodox Response to the Clarification on the Filioque
The Filioque seems to suggest two sources of the Spirit's personal existence, one of which (the Father) may be called the first and original cause (principaliter), while the other one (the Son) may be regarded as a secondary (not principaliter) cause, but still a "cause" albeit not "principaliter".
For him the Filioque was not heretical because its intention was to denote not the εκπορεύεσθαι (ekporeuesthai) but the προείναι (proeinai) of the Spirit.
The Filioque in no way can be projected from the Economy into the immanent Trinity, and the same is true also of any form of Spirituque that might be detected--this is in fact possible--from the relation of Christ to the Spirit in the history of salvation.

 The Systematic Relationship of Filioque and Parousia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Upon reviewing Barth’s doctrines of Filioque and parousia as outlined in the Church Dogmatics respectively, it is certainly difficult to avoid the impression that the Holy Spirit serves the work of Christ in his parousia, especially in the christological interpretation of the “middle form,” Pentecost.
On the one hand, the doctrine of the Filioque is a general statement “confirming” or “underlining” what he previously discerned in revelation concerning the immanent relationship of the Holy Spirit to the other two divine modes of being.
Thus the Filioque is ontically prior to parousia in the sense that the Holy Spirit’s role in the parousia, particularly in his work as the mediator of Christ to the church, will be commensurate with what he has always been in his eternal proceeding from the Father and Son.

 Great Schism - OrthodoxWiki
It is asserted by many Orthodox that as soon as Rome endorsed the idea of the Filioque, there was a split between the true faith and a schismatic faith.
Filioque is a word that changes the Latin version of Nicene Creed to include the wording [Spiritus Sanctus] qui ex Patre Filioque procedit or "[Holy Spirit] who proceeds from the Father and the Son."
For the Pope of Rome to change the Creed unilaterally without reference to an Ecumenical Council was highly offensive to the other four patriarchates and to all the Eastern bishops, as it undermined the collegiality of the episcopacy.

RC's deny this (of course) and say that denying the "filioque" takes away from the Divinity of the Son, whereby the Trinity becomes a Divine Triad where the Son is subordinated (and therefore unequal) to the Father (who alone is true God and Son is not).
The "filioque" is a heresy precisely because it destroys the unity of the Godhead.
The unilateral insertion of "filioque" in the Creed by one Patriarchate of the Ecumenical Church is a violation of the conciliar nature of the Church.
