 | On the Holy Spirit and the Filioque Controversy
| | |
Written by Saint John of Damascus is provided as background information for those who wish to understand the doctrine referred to in The Old Catholic Agreement on the Filioque Controversy, 1875. However, it should also be pointed out that the agreement was not ratified and, as one of Dr Puseys primary arguments against Dollinger pointed out, removing it from the West would scandalize the faithful who have for so long included it in the Liturgy. We must at least recognize the emotional impact on both Eastern and Western spirituality that any proposed change would entail.

In 1863, Johann Ignaz von Dollinger, his assistant Georg Ratzinger (great uncle of Joseph Ratzinger), Keller and others formed a congress of a 100 Catholic theologians in Munich. Dollinger was very critical of scholasticism and Thomasism. He called for an assertion of scholarly independence from Vatican authority and envisioned a Catholic Church in Germany organized as a national church with little interference by the papacy.
