SYNODICON ON THE HOLY SPIRIT.
"To those who confess that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father alone, [John 15:26]
with no intermediary, just as the Son is begotten from the Father alone, with no inter-
mediary, according to the testimony of God the Word Himself to His apostles at the
season of His Passion for the salvation of the world when He said, "But when the Comforter
is come, Whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, Who
proceedeth from the Father, He shall testify of Me," [John 15:16- and to those who
accept unaltered this divine testament of our God and Saviour, Jesus Christ, ETERNAL
MEMORY." -- SAINT PHOTIOS, SYNODICON ON THE HOLY SPIRIT.
"To those who undertake to dogmatize contrary to our Master Christ and who declare
that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and from the Son, from the Son directly
and with no intermediary, but indirectly from the Father and with an intermediary, that
is, just as the Son proceeds directly from the Father, so the Spirit proceeds from the
Son; and to those who dare to say that the Son is the immediate cause of the Spirit
while the Father is the removed cause, as though the Spirit were operatively from the
Son but only potentially from the Father and who thus introduce degrees and successions
of cause and effect in the simple and indivisible Trinity, ANATHEMA." -- SAINT PHOTIOS,
SYNODICON ON THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Thus:
The Holy Spirit proceedeth from the Father [John 15:26]. AMEN.
