Come again?
"I...think the Orthodox were wrong to take [filioque ]out [of the Nicene Creed]."
When did we do that, pray tell?
To the others copied:
Yes. Nanette really said that, and in the year of our Lord 2005. And I thought nobody said this anymore in the West. I guess I was wrong. The damnable lie continues to be told. I wonder who the priest was who told her this.
No priest ever told me about the filioque clause. I learned about it in college in a history of religions class. Maybe I didn't remember it correctly and it was that the Orthodox didn't take out the clause - they just didn't want it put in. But it was that and the Bishop of Constantinople didn't like the power the Bishop of Rome had. My understanding is that they both ex-communicated each other.
You are really getting rude and defensive and I don't think I'm going to reply to you any more. I've tried to be polite, but you are very angry about something and I refuse to be the brunt of it. When you feel like speaking nicely, maybe I will reply.
