Filioque
(redirected from Filioque clause)

    Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Fil`i`o´que
n.1.(Eccl. Hist.) The Latin for, "and from the Son," equivalent to et filio, inserted by the third council of Toledo (a. d. 589) in the clause qui ex Patre procedit (who proceedeth from the Father) of the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed (a. d. 381), which makes a creed state that the Holy Ghost proceeds from the Son as well as from the Father. Hence, the doctrine itself (not admitted by the Eastern Church).

They point to the fact that the primary differences involve the filioque clause in the Creed, which Rome (unlike the Orthodox church) does not find all that striking an issue, and the nature of the church itself, which Rome (unlike the Orthodox church) does not seem to find a central doctrinal issue, but rather a kind of administrative problems.
