“Wrong again.

The filioque proves it.”

Oh, I’d just love to hear your thoughts on this one! How about it, give us the Protestant read on the filioque innovation, especially its Patristic pedigree.

I'd already done that much earlier.

The Apostolic teaching of Scripture is clear that the Holy Spirit is sent by both the Father AND the Son.

John 14:16
And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper(Paraclete), that He may abide with you forever—

John 14:26
But the Helper(Paraclete), the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

John 15:26
“But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.

John 16:7
Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.

As I have stated earlier as well, Rome was clearly in violation of the canons of the Council of Nicea and Chalcedon that prohibited the alteration of the Nicene Creed when unilaterally inserting the filioque clause, and thus came under anathema as per those canons from Nicea and Chalcedon.
