Filioque
A reference page linking a name, group, or concept to the materials that discuss it.
Later western Latin addition concerning the Spirit’s procession, absent from the expanded Greek creed.
Text
The word means and the Son. The Greek text associated with Constantinople says from the Father; the addition then enters western history and prolonged disputes. [1][2]
It should not be projected onto 325 or all eastern and western positions. The modern image shows continuing debate, not an archaeological witness to textual addition.
