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

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Outdated.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.

Your argument isn’t with me; it’s with Rome.

Welcome to the discussion, my friend.

Most of us Romanists will side with the Orthodox in terms of the Filioque. It is not an issue.

These fine Reformed folks are claiming that Augustine in his sane years does not belive along the same lines as the Church today. That given, they claim him for the Reformed side, based upon his 30 years of heretical beliefs.
