Onepeterfive sspx12/20/2023 Objection III: But the Greek Fathers say that the Father is the Sole Cause, the Unoriginate Source of the Triune Godhead, what the Latin Fathers call the Monarch of the Holy Trinity. It could be that it is merely His energetic manifestation that happens through the Son, but not that His divine hypostasis receives essence from Father through Son. Objection II: Even if the Holy Spirit’s eternal procession from the Father is mediated through the Son, it doesn’t seem to follow that He proceeds through the Son. Objection I: It seems the texts cited refer not to the eternal procession of the Holy Ghost, but to His temporal mission - i.e., He is sent by the Son only in time. There is clear unbroken tradition present here. Peter, have unanimously taught the Filioque explicitly for millennia. The Roman pontiffs, the successors of St. This fact has been found embarrassing by deniers of the Filioque. The Greek Fathers are unanimous in teaching the doctrine “per Filium” (through the Son). Bishops and several councils do the same. The Latin fathers are absolutely unanimous in teaching the doctrine of the Filioque. Byzantine and Eastern fathers and monks testify that the spiration of the Spirit from the Father does not exclude but rather is mediated through the Son. Great Latin bishops and fathers exegete and interpret the words of Sacred Scripture in favor of the Filioque doctrine. Greek Orthodox Bishops and Patriarchs, at Nicene Ecumenical Councils, confess doctrine practically equivalent to the Filioque. Cyril of Alexandria that taught the Dogma of the Filioque! Five Ecumenical Councils approved a letter of Patriarch St. They also added this beautiful stained glass icon of the Holy Ghost, since Filioque is primarily about Him. I'm just posting the headings here, those who wish to peruse the entire study can kindly read it in the link. Please share comments, feedback, even criticism, critiques etcetera! Thanks and God bless. So anyway, here's the article now on 1Peter5 on the Filioque: Anyway, my hope is only that (1) Catholics thinking of lapsing into Greek Orthodoxy may be strengthened and confirmed in our Catholic Faith upon reading it, (2) individual Orthodox Christians would consider returning to the Catholic Church, and (3) the Orthodox Churches themselves, especially Patriarch Bartholomew and Patriarch Kirill, would happily and quickly heed our Mother Mary's wishes and re-unite with the Catholic Church under the Pope. Then they asked me for some other things which I replied to by mail. Well, much later, earlier today, even before I came to know(!) they put the article up on the site. ![]() They said yes, but only provided it was good enough. At the time, I was researching and studying on the Filioque, and asked if they would be willing to publish an article on it. Dear Brothers and Sisters, a while ago I got into an email conversation with the editors at OnePeterFive regarding one of their earlier articles on Orthodoxy.
