This post set me back with an awe for the Holy Trinity. It's true we will never be able to fully comprehend it, and no wonder, it's such a mystery!

I don't think their idea of the Trinity is different, although they don't use those words, it's true. The east is much more about the 'mystery' and the west has always been a bit more linear, wanting to explain. The Church needs both (which is why it's so nice that some of the Eastern churches have come back under the Pope. My parents attend a Melkite Catholic Church which does not include the filioque, but is fully Catholic.<br /><br />The Eastern Orthodox do believe that the Three Persons are co-eternal, co-equal, and of the same substance.Leila@LittleCatholicBubblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357573787143230160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-65400264657887307012011-06-19T17:48:30.895-07:002011-06-19T17:48:30.895-07:00So this logic behind the Trinity & the Holy Sp...So this logic behind the Trinity & the Holy Spirit -- specifically where you say the Holy Spirit comes from the outpouring of love between the Father & Son -- would be one of the important differences between Roman Catholicism & Eastern Orthodoxy, right? Since they reject the addition of <i>“and the Son”</i> (a.k.a. the filioque) to the creed, they must have some other understanding of the Holy Spirit. Is that correct?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-58710444628897189882011-06-19T17:37:02.559-07:002011-06-19T17:37:02.559-07:00Hey, have you read The Shack?
