Filioque in the Byzantine Rite

    • I have a 1950's copy of the Byzantine Rite and noticed that, in the Creed, it says that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father, without mentioning the Son. Moreover, when I've been to an Eastern Catholic service, they did not mention the Spirit proceeding from the Son either. Have Eastern Catholics never included the filioque in the Creed at all, or is this a new phenomenon?

    I would imagine that this is just a strange indifferentism caused by the growing easternization of the Eastern Catholics, as is the veneration of "Saints" like Gregory Palamas. I can't seem to find anything about it online, though. Does anyone know more about this?

    • They've gone back and forth.  In the original Nicene Creed, it just says that the Holy Spirit proceeded from the Father.  This was not intended to exclude procession also from the Son ... as later Church teaching clarified.

    Eastern Catholic Churches have at times try to become more like the Latin Rite, and at other times they've gone back more toward the Eastern Traditions.

    • In the dialogue between the Orthodox and the Catholic Churches it was determined that there is a common understanding of the Trinity which accepts that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father through the Son. While this interpretation is not universally required it is accepted by both the Orthodox and the Catholic Churches as acceptable.
