Noun

[edit]

filioque (uncountable)

  1. (theology) The use of the Latin word filioque (and from the son) in the Western form of the Nicene Creed, to indicate that the Holy Spirit proceeds from both the Father and the Son (as opposed to the Eastern churches which believe the Spirit proceeds from the Father alone).
    • 2009, Diarmaid MacCulloch, A History of Christianity, Penguin, published 2010, page 350:
      Another issue was the promotion of that troublesome addition to the Nicene Creed, the Filioque or double procession in the Trinity of the Spirit from Father and Son, which had taken its cue from Augustine's writing on the Trinity.
    • 2011, Norman Davies, Vanished Kingdoms, Penguin, published 2012, page 126:
      The Second Council of Lyon [] only succeeded in confirming and defining a key item of Catholic theology, the filioque, which has barred the way to reconciliation ever since.
