    Peter Damian FILIOQUE Procession Greeks Latins Creed

    Uploaded by

    Peter Brandt-Sorheim
    Peter Damian notes that most Greeks and some Latins believe the Holy Spirit proceeds only from the Father, not the Son. He gives reasons not to support the filioque based on scriptural evidence and writings of early Church fathers like Jerome, Augustine, and Leo I, who state that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father. The Nicene Creed also says the Holy Spirit proceeds properly from the Father alone.

    Peter Damian (AD 1007-1072) noted that almost all the Greeks and some Latins maintain that

    the Holy Spirit does not proceed from the Son but only from the Father." In point 8 of a letter to the Patriarch of Constantinople Peter Damian gives the clearest reasons not to support the filioque [Latin, and the Son]: "Citing these texts, therefore, and the like, not only from the Gospels but from other scriptural evidence as well, [it is asserted] that the Holy Spirit in no way proceeds from the Son, but only from the Father. Some such statement which seems to agree with this opinion is often found even in the doctors who use the Latin language. Clearly blessed Jerome, in his explanation of the faith sent to the bishops Alippius and Augustine, says among other things, "We believe also in the Holy Spirit, true God, Who Proceeds from the Father, equal in all things to the Father and to the Son." Augustine also, inveighing against Maximus the heretic, says, "The Son is from the Father, the Holy Spirit is from the Father." Even Pope St. Leo, on the silver plaque erected before the most sacred body of St. Paul the Apostle, says among other formulations of his faith, "And [we believe] in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of life, Who Proceeds from the Father [and is] with the Father and the Son to be jointly adored and glorified." In the Creed of the Council of Nicea, moreover, it says, "We also believe in the Holy Spirit, Who Proceeds properly from the Father, and who just as the Son is true God"; and a littler further on, "And that the Holy Spirit is also true God we find in Scripture, and that He Proceeds properly from the Father, and that He always exists with the Father and the Son." And again it says, "The Son is from the Father, and the Holy Spirit proceeds properly and truly from the Father."
