Definition
The dispute relates specifically to the "procession" of the Holy Spirit , that is to say the ratio between the Holy Spirit on the one hand, the Father and the Son ( Jesus Christ ) on the other. The symbol of I. Ecumenical Council of Constantinople ( 381 ) states:
- "We believe in the Holy Spirit, who is lord and giver of life. Proceeds from the Father. "
He did not mention that the Spirit would report any of Son of faon.cf. John XV, 26:
"When the Counselor comes that I send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, he will himself testify of me" (NIV)
From the eighth century , the Latin liturgy said the initial formula to read: "It proceeds from the Father and the Son" in Latin Filioque (ex Patre Filioque process). The introduction of the Filioque in the Creed was given by Western Charlemagne at the Council of Aix-la-Chapelle in 809 , taking up an earlier proposal that had already been underway in the Visigothic Spain by opponents of Arianism. This addition was accepted despite the opposition of Pope Leo III in this process Caesaropapism the new emperor of the West who, with his theologians, wanted "to compete with the Orthodox East" Catholic Theological Arguments 1. In his Summa Theologica , the "Common Doctor", St. Thomas Aquinas , after listing the arguments against, gives a new argument: if the Holy Spirit proceeds not only from the Father and the Son as the Son would be in same situation, nothing distinguishes the Holy Spirit and the Son, "the Holy Ghost could not be distinguished in any way personally of the Son," since the divine persons are distinguished from each other only by their relationship: "quod necesse Respondeo dicendum dicere Spiritum is a sanctum esse Filio. If enim non esset ab eo, nullo modo posset ab eo personality as distingui. Quod patet ex supra dictated. " (Ia, Q. 36, Art. 2). 2. In this argument, we can add the fact that the Father and the Son is consubstantial , you can not act without the Father the Son participates fully in its work ... Responses to arguments: What the Orthodox responds that this alleged confusion between the Son and the Holy Spirit is a bit absurd, the three persons are differentiated by their functions ... and more, the Son is "begotten of the Father as the Holy Spirit "proceeds" of it .... To answer the second argument it must be remembered that all three persons are consubstantial, and not only the Father and the Son, and the term "consubstantial" discusses the "nature" (the same substance, the same species) and not function and acts (acts, actions). It seems that the confusion in the arguments "Catholic" is in the way of understanding the word "consubstantial" ... References
