On that positive note, the filioque has been investigated quite thoroughly by both sides. The common ground that was briefly agreed upon at one point is that both Catholics and Orthodox can get behind the phrase, “From the Father, THROUGH the Son.” This phraseology was briefly used by both sides before international politics severed its usage. There are theological distinctions, but the experts are currently optimistic that this particular issue, (the filioque) can be resolved by the verbiage above. There are other issues that are trickier to handle, but this one is much more likely to be agreed upon in our lifetimes. It would result in a change of word usage in the creeds, but no change in theology. The other issues would require one side or the other to yield to changes in underlying theology, which is much harder to stomach.

In Ethiopian Orthodox we also believe that virgin mary was preserved from original sin.

[@nahomg.4191]

As an Ethiopian Orthodox Christian myself, this’s actually inaccurate. The church doesn’t have a conclusive view on the immaculate consumption. For instance, the previous patriarch abune paulos wrote in his Princeton university dissertation “She (Virgin Mary) is two-fold virgin, i.e., virgin both in body and soul, who, though not "immaculate" or free from original sin, yet was all-holy, pure, and chose to actively participate in the saving work of God, His incarceration”. Many ancient church fathers and scholars of the church also taught against the doctrine immaculate conception.

There were breaks in communion, even with the Church of Rome, way before the Great Schism. Now, the Roman Catholics are united by jurisdiction (the Pope), but still are divided on faith and practice: Continuists (Pro Vatican II), Traditionalists (Pre Vatican II), Sedevacantists (Anti Vatican II), Charismatics (Pentecostal Catholics), Conservative Catholics, Liberal Catholics, Pro LGBT Catholics (i.e. those in favor of Fiduncia Supplicans), etc.

[@DanielQwerty]

Filioque is actually a translation problem not a theological one. Let me explain. The reason why the filioque is absent in the greek (both greek catholic and orthodox) creed is because the verb meaning "proceeds" is different. The greek verb, ἐκπορευόμενον, means "makes to go out from" and implies divine origin. and as such, adding "and the son" *would* be heretical. The latin creed uses the verb "procedit" which literally means "proceeds". It does not directly imply that the Holy Spirit's divine origin is the father and the son, but rather says that he simply comes forth from the son and is not sent by him. The Catholic and Orthodox churches even agree on the theology. The Holy Spirit's divine orgin (ἐκπορευόμενον) is the Father, but he "proceeds" (procedit) from the Father and the Son. As he does come forth from the son, but he is only sent forth from the father *through* the son.

[@DanielQwerty]

Not to mention, dictionaries didn't exist and while some church fathers spoke both greek and latin, they weren't linguists and it's probable that some words were not 1:1 translations. To add salt: Latin and Greek are closely related enough that bishops who didn't speak fluent latin could possibly misunderstand filioque and apply it to their greek verb mistakenly and not see that procedit means something different

[@jeremiasitkonen9322]

Thats right but it was and is theological problem and catholics still today defend tte filioque. The western church at that time (great schism 1054) also held the view that they changed it to better because even today eastern and western churches has the same issues. Orthodoxy: Holy Spirit PROCEEDS from the Father through the Son. Catholic: Holy Spirit PROCEEDS from the Father AND the Son. May our Lord Jesus Christ bless you and keep you safe ☦︎✝

[@DanielQwerty]

@@jeremiasitkonen9322 I deleted my old reply to correct my statement. I *know* the catholic church agrees theologically. The catholic church teaches (albeit not loudly) that the source of his divinity is the Father, but he is sent from the father in the Son's name (or through the son). We just like to emphasize that he does come through Jesus. So he does proceed from the son, but his divinity begins at the Father. A further explanation of the langauge used would be like this: if I sent you a letter, that letter proceeds (ἐκπορευόμενον) from me. But that letter proceeds (procedit) from me and the mailman. (I'm not calling Jesus a mailman, I am simply explaining the language used, nor am I saying Jesus is ONLY an instrument for the holy spirit and that's all he does) τὸ ἐκ τοῦ Πατρὸς ἐκπορευόμενον qui ex Patre Filioque procedit. However, I will ask my priest to triple check this, but I am nearly 100% sure we agree. I appreciate that, may God also bless you.

Well, neither it is said in Bible that Mary inherted or did not inherited tge original sin, neither it is stated that she sinned in her life, but it is truly declared that ALL humans have sinned and need the Grace of God Jesus Christ to be saved. So according to the holy scriptures Mary was inneed of Christ's redemptive and vindicative sacrifice just like us. The only person who was truly righteous was Jesus, and his righteousness has made us righteous, not ours

A 4th one is, Orthodox Christians do not have a rosary or do the rosary prayer. It was never part of the Original Church. The Roman Catholic devotion of praying the Rosary is not a part of the Orthodox Christian Tradition, as this devotion in its present form dates from about the 15th century-hundreds of years after Roman Catholicism separated herself from the Orthodox Church. In Orthodoxy there is, however, the practice of praying the Jesus Prayer-“O Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me, a sinner”-on a set of prayer beads, generally 100 in number. This tradition is especially upheld by Orthodox monks and nuns, although a growing number of laypersons also make use of such beads. This usage, however, is completely unrelated in origin, form, and content to Roman Catholicism’s Rosary.

@@jmailmonopolis6296 you are correct. however, just like nothing impure can’t enter heaven, the Holy of Hollies cannot dwell in something in pure. In addition, at the end of revelation chapter 11 the Bible shows the arc of the covenant in heaven and in the beggining of chapter 12 it shows that is the woman that gives birth to Jesus. Remember, the Bible wasn’t written with verse number. That was added later on by the church (Catholics). If you read it without verses you are reading a continuous letter by Saint John and the early church believes the woman is Mary because she gave birth to him. Literally. I’m not saying this to convince you. Just telling you why Catholics, orthodox, and the first Protestants believe that. With that said, Catholics believe that Mary was born without original sin. That doesn’t mean didn’t later sin. Orthodox believe she didn’t sin but was born with original sin. To me and that’s just me, if you are born without original sin probably can’t sin and if you are born with it you will sin so the catholic position makes more sense to me but I’m no expert.

[@jaylawrencehewitt1030]

Sinlessness doesn't equate a creature with divinity. Both Adam & Eve were sinless in the garden before the fall. Christ was able to save us not just because he is sinless but because he is the God-Man. Sin isn't normal or natural, it is abnormal, disordered and is what marred the image of God in us. We are all called to be Sinless, to renounce it, turn from it, and not to sin. We are all given the graces by God to achieve this. The Blessed Virgins preservation from the Stain of Original Sin is a natural consequence of her role as the New Eve (Nova Eva). The parallels between Eve & Mary are many and all the Church Fathers write at length about this: A sinless virgin had a role in our fall (Eve) - so also, a sinless virgin has a role in our regeneration. Eve's Virginity lacks the fertility of faith and brings our fall. Mary's Virginity is theologically fertile and brings about our salvation in the God-Man Jesus Christ. Both are receptors of messages, Eve received a message from the serpent and brought forth disobedients. Mary receives a message from Galadriel, obeys, and brings forth in her womb our salvation. Eve was born from Adams side, and the new Adam, Christ, is born from the New Eve in the order of grace. Eve was a subordinate participating agent in our fall. Mary is a subordinate participating/co-operating agent in our salvation. (The action of restoration is the work of Christ's sacrifice alone), but his mother has her part to play in God's plan. Just as both male and female had a role in the fall, so in the order of grace, in the new creation, does a man & women have a role in our restoration & regeneration. - (Irenaeus, Justin Martyr, Tutullian, Augustine of Hippo). Mary's Immaculate Conception is the origin & cause of her blessedness. She was simply conceived in a state of grace on account of her unique destiny as the mother of the God-Man & being the substance by which the invisible God was made visible. She is essentially normalised by an action of grace from God. She is the New Woman of the New Law, the daughter of Eve unfallen. Her personal sinlessness is on account of her proximity to Christ. She is so relative to the incarnate one that it logically follows for her to be so set aside in holiness as to be sinless. The BVM is biologically close to God through her motherhood, physically & emotionally close to God in life and in personal unionship with a God by the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit at the moment of the Incarnation. Because of all these factors combined, Satan just can't get at her. She is just endowed with grace, not through any merit of her own, but by and through the merits of her divine son. She is exempt from contracting sin by an action of grace, Christ is totally excluded from its taint because he is a preexisting divine person. That's the difference, and there is a theological difference between exemption & exclusion. - And thus is the protoevangelium (first Gospel) fulfilled: (Genesis 3:15) says, “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” - In order for the serpent to be defeated, the enmity must be total, and so the New Women (Mary) & her offspring (Christ) must be beyond Satan's grasps (sinless). Furthermore, Christ can not be in enmity with his own mother, from whom he assumed his human nature. (All of us are born in enmity with God (the stain of original sin) and need rejuvenation in the waters of baptism - Mary was simply rejuvenated before she was born. She holds the same office in our restoration that Eve held in our fall - St John Henry Newman. The Papal definition is simply that, a definition. It is entirely insufficient in explaining the doctrine.
