the Holy Spirit proceeds only from the Father. The Catholics know that; they do not profess double origin. But I wouldn't put it past the Protestants.

Oh, my, Kosta, you've told us you do not represent mainline Orthodoxy, and now I'm pretty sure you don't represent Roman Catholicism and its understanding of the Filioque.

Check out New Advent on the Filioque.

Orthodoxy is the odd-man out in this regard.

In this case I am represenitng the Orthodox view and the officuial teaching of the whole Church for the first 1,000 years.

Check out New Advent on the Filioque.

Outdated. That text is written in 1912 or so. The Catholic Church has abandoned its Teutonic theology of Frankish thugs who accused the Greeks for having "removed" the Filioque! Talk about ignorance...

Orthodoxy is the odd-man out in this regard.

Then the Latin Church was professing error at every Ecumenical Council, until the 11th century. Then the 9th century Pope who ordered silver plates engraved without the Filioque and mounted on the walls of the Vatican was a "heretic."

This is like someone who believes in a flat earth telling me I am odd for professing a round earth. You make me laugh.
