We have no arguments with our Sister Church. We have honest and fraternal disagreements on some theological issues of shared beliefs.
If you want to be educated about the current Catholic view on the Filioque, I recomment you familiarize yourself with the An Agreed statement of the North American Orthodox-Catholic Theological Consultation Saint Paul's College, Washington, d.c. October, 2003 One of the last recommendations of thet Conference says:
You should also be aware that the current Pope has recited the Creed without (and with) the Filioque, and that most Eastern-Catholic Churches, especially the Ukrianian Church, and the Melkite Church sing the Symbol of Faith (Creed) without the Filioque and that no one except your outdated New Advent considers it an 'error.'
You insist on the validity of men's opinions from 1,000 years ago, yet you complain the article from 1909 is too old to be trusted.
Apparently New Advent thinks it can be trusted and thinks it's still Catholic dogma -- which it is, and rightly so.
All your attempts at watering down your distinctions with Rome do not include this subject. You and Rome stand at odds as you have for centuries.
And regardless of your discomfort with this obvious difference with Rome (with whom, gasp, Protestants agree), it's even more disturbing that your belief contradicts God's word. As New Advent correctly reminds us from Scripture...
"Again, according to Sacred Scripture, the Son sends the Holy Ghost (Luke 24:49; John 15:26; John 16:7; John 20:22; Acts 2:33; Titus 3:6), just as the Father sends the Son (Romans 3:3; etc.), and as the Father sends the Holy Ghost (John 14:26)."
We have honest and fraternal disagreements on some theological issues of shared beliefs.
LOL. Well, which is it? Is Filioque an "honest disagreement" or a "shared belief?"
Because it sure looks like you want it both ways.
I do find this fascinating, however, especially when MarkBSnr writes in post 853: "Most of us Romanists will side with the Orthodox in terms of the Filioque. It is not an issue."
New Advent begs to differ.
I would very much like other Roman Catholics' opinions on Filioque. Does the Holy Ghost proceed from both God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Son, as Catholics and Protestants have believed for nearly two centuries?
Or are the Orthodox correct in believing the Holy Ghost proceeds from the Father alone and not from the Son?
Because again, NEW ADVENT on Filiogue denounces the Orthodox error.
