Paragraph 2. THE FATHER
246
The Latin tradition of the Creed confesses that the Spirit “proceeds from
the Father and the Son (filioque)”. the Council of Florence in 1438 explains:
“The Holy Spirit is eternally from Father and Son; He has his nature and
subsistence at once (simul) from the Father and the Son. He proceeds eternally
from both as from one principle and through one spiration… And, since the
Father has through generation given to the only-begotten Son everything that
belongs to the Father, except being Father, the Son has also eternally from the
Father, from whom he is eternally born, that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the
Son.”75
