1.3 KiB

title date source comment
Second Council of Lyons 1274 https://www.papalencyclicals.net/councils/ecum14.htm Lyons II promulgated a number of constitutions; I have reproduced here only the one on the subject of the Filioque, as the others don't appear to me to be relevant to the topic of this index.

1. On the supreme Trinity and the catholic faith

1. We profess faithfully and devotedly that the holy Spirit proceeds eternally from the Father and the Son, not as from two principles, but as from one principle; not by two spirations, but by one single spiration. This the holy Roman church, mother and mistress of all the faithful, has till now professed, preached and taught; this she firmly holds, preaches, professes and teaches; this is the unchangeable and true belief of the orthodox fathers and doctors, Latin and Greek alike. But because some, on account of ignorance of the said indisputable truth, have fallen into various errors, we, wishing to close the way to such errors, with the approval of the sacred council, condemn and reprove all who presume to deny that the holy Spirit proceeds eternally from the Father and the Son, or rashly to assert that the holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son as from two principles and not as from one.
