Pope Leo XIV and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew just took a step no one expected: reciting the Nicene Creed together without the Filioque. This moment shocked Catholics, Orthodox, and observers around the world. In this episode of FACTS with Stephen Boyce and Pat May, we break down why this gesture matters, what it signals about the future of East–West relations, and whether real reunification is finally possible after nearly 1,000 years of division.We explore the historical background, the theological implications, and the global reactions to this unprecedented moment between Rome and Constantinople. Is this a symbolic gesture—or the beginning of something much bigger?If you'd like to donate to our ministry or be a monthly partner that receives newsletters and one on one discussions with Dr. Stephen Boyce, here's a link: https://give.tithe.ly/?formId=6381a2ee-b82f-42a7-809e-6b733cec05a7 Here is a Link to the video we played: https://www.youtube.com/live/29Oa2X4VkE8?si=GorsC2k52m4_LIUb#CatholicChurch #OrthodoxChurch #ChristianUnity #PopeLeo #PatriarchBartholomew #Filioque #EcumenicalDialogue #ChurchHistory #FACTSPodcast #GreatSchism

The boys drink and review "I Just Crush A Lot" a blueberry hibiscus tart ale from Calvert Brewing. In 1054, a dramatic split forever changed the face of Christianity. Known as the Great Schism, it divided the Church into Roman Catholicism in the West and Eastern Orthodoxy in the East. But the break didn't happen overnight—it was centuries in the making.In this video, we'll explore:* The immediate crisis: papal legates and Patriarch Michael Cerularius trading excommunications.* Political and cultural tensions: Rome vs. Constantinople, Latin vs. Greek, and the rise of Islam.* Authority disputes: papal supremacy in the West vs. conciliar authority in the East.* Theological differences: the Filioque controversy, Monophysitism, and contrasting spiritual emphases.* Divergent practices: from unleavened vs. leavened bread, to clerical celibacy and fasting rules.* The aftermath: how the Crusades, especially the sack of Constantinople, deepened the divide.The Schism was not just about doctrine—it was about culture, politics, and identity. Understanding it helps explain why the Christian world looks the way it does today.#GreatSchism #1054 #ChristianHistory #Catholic #Orthodox #ChurchHistory #Byzantine #Rome

Today Dr. Anders answers your questions including: -What are traditions and magisterium? I really only know about the BIble." -Why do Catholics believe in the Filioque and Orthodox Christians do not? -Jesus says the possibility of rich people going to heaven is slim. Does that prove that works matter as well as faith? How would someone rich make it right with God? Where does the line cross? and many more.

Pastor David Jay Webber of Bethany Lutheran-Princeton, MN Pr. Webber's Series on Eastern Orthodoxy The post The Lutheran-Orthodox “Common Statement on the Filioque” Adopted by Evangelical Lutheran Church of America – Pr. David Jay Webber, 8/4/25 (2163) first appeared on Issues, Etc..
The Filioque argument of 1054ad, between the Catholic and Orthodox churches, the controversy of “whether the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father, or the Father and the Son”, the filioque is “and the Son”. Catholicism says yes the Spirit proceeds from the Father and Son, but the Orthodox deny and call it false teaching that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Son.What I want to do here is step into this argument with a 3rd angle, and use Scripture alone to see how to answer this question. Because both Catholicism and Orthodoxy reject Scripture as authority, so I want to use Scripture alone and see whether or not this nigh thousand year old question of the Filioque can be settled.Message by Pastor Mat - July 27, 2025 Apologetics, Debate, Bible Discussions, Evangelism, and much moreTo know more on how to be saved, what are the requirements and such, please see our playlist on the Gospel and Eternal Security (assurance of salvation) - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3pJdCnnwrEeCQOCTTmDW1GjUYxpd44DG&si=_rT-lThl0klHt5Cd A Bible study on personal works and fruit bearing -"The mystic fruit bowl" Mark 7:5-23 - https://youtu.be/kw7QiLQMQ_M?si=eSOYcF1Ffco6-inI (Discussing discipleship) Bible study on Luke 9:60-62 "Let the dead bury the dead" - https://www.youtube.com/live/BkWtkOrEs-Q?si=y-zyqNGfWi3kzVu2 Our Ministries Website - https://christiancoffeetime.ca/ 1John 5:20) "And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ.

In this episode of Ask the Church, we unpack one of the most debated lines in the Nicene Creed: “who proceeds from the Father and the Son.” Why did the Western Church add “and the Son”? Why do Eastern Christians omit it? And what does it tell us about the dynamic life of the Trinity?In the next five minutes, we'll discuss: - The biblical basis for the Spirit's procession (John 15:26)- How the concepts of “eternal source,” “eternal begetting,” and “eternal procession” help us understand the three Persons of the Trinity- The history and impact of the Filioque controversy and the Great Schism- Anglican flexibility in confessing or omitting the “and the Son” (Filioque) clause
Dr. Jenkins continues his discussion on the history of the Filioque by looking at the responses of the Latin west to the accusation leveled against it by St. Photios. What emerges are two responses, with one marking the future of Western theology, and the other a road pointed to by St. Maximos the Confessor, but untraveled. https://tinyurl.com/Doxamoot2025 https://tinyurl.com/OrthEd2025
