      If you don’t mind me asking, regarding the Trinity, how does the Holy Spirit relate to Jesus in the East? A Catholic understanding that I hear from Bishop Barron is that God is love, so we have the three persons: the Father is the Lover, the Son is the Beloved, and the Holy Spirit is the love between them. So the Father eternally begets the Son, the Son is begotten by the Father, and the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father (and the Son). So I’m wondering, currently my limited understanding of Eastern theology is that, because the Holy Spirit’s relation to the Son is “ambiguous” without the filioque, the Trinity seems less like a triangle and more like a ^. Could you clarify?

      @@killianmiller6107 Good question. I'm just a layperson, not a clergyman or a theologian, but I'll try my best. As far as I understand, the emphasis in the East is on the "monarchy of the Father." He is the source of the Son and the Holy Spirit, since the Son is begotten from Him and the Holy Spirit proceeds from Him. We focus not so much on the love relationships among the members of the Trinity as on how the Father expresses His love for us by giving us aid through the Son and the Holy Spirit. I've heard it said that the Son and Holy Spirit are the two arms that the Father uses to embrace us.

      @@protoeurothe part that always confused me is what exactly the East believes in regards to the relationship between the Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit. If the Holy Spirit doesn’t proceed from the Son, does that mean the Son doesn’t have one? Does He spirate nothing, breathe nothing out, but the Father does? On the other hand, if the Father’s Breathe is the Son’s Breathe, then how does the Holy Spirit not also proceed (or flow) or spirate from the Son? It’s odd to say the Holy Spirit originates from the Father, and also belongs to the Lord Jesus, but somehow the Holy Spirit does not proceed or flow through the Son. If it does flow through the Son, then it’s also apt to say the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Son, too. From the Father, through the Son. Perhaps the words “proceeds from” is interpreted as “originates from,” but that doesn’t match what the West believes in regards to the filioque, unless I’m mistaken.

      It’s sad how the people hurting the Church did so by destroying the belief in the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist and discouraged participation in the rest of the Sacraments. By not properly teaching the Faith on purpose the people were not equipped to see the current cultural trends as against the faith and wrong. So, they accepted the trends instead.

He has helped me become better catechised as I continue my journey to become closer to our Lord. So, I love videos like this.

(Jesus in John 6v44) I´m very grateful, that our LORD showed you His truth and I´m praising YOU that you did this decision, to get baptized. Because it is ALWAYS a decision of everyone alone, so YOU can be very proud on yourself! => "36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him." (Acts 8:36-38). BUT forgive me ONE question: What is a RCIA? ❤❤❤✝❤❤❤

      I'd say that's more true about the Apostles' Creed. Some protestants take umbrage at the idea of baptism for remission of sin as meaning a works based salvation even if they still believe that all Christians should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

  • @alphacause

    Father Casey, I really appreciate this sentence by sentence break down of the Nicene Creed. Far too often as Catholics, we get too accustomed to saying these words every Sunday, that it becomes a perfunctory exercise. It just seems like a routine, bereft of any meaning. We do not ruminate on the significance of the language, and the implications it has on our faith. We just robotically repeat these words, as if we were human tape recorders, with no attachment to what we are saying. Its good to have videos like this to illustrate how profound the Creed is. Thank you.

      @@deandrecrosby1157 When rituals are seen as an end, in and of themselves, it can be problematic. Such a fixation on practices, gestures and scripts can detract from the faith. I wholeheartedly agree. However, rituals, when properly contextualized, can cultivate a feeling of community and love with our fellow Christians. It is all a matter of perspective. Shared rituals and creeds give us a sense of commonality. There is always time for individual communication with God. There is always time to make our prayer life far more personal and intimate. Rituals, when seen as a galvanizing force and not as the end goal, does not detract from our personal relationship with God.

      Most mainline Protestant denominations still hold to the Nicene Creed. The dogmatic differences come from interpretations of the words (most of such Protestant denominations hold a view of a universal church that spans across denominational lines, for example, which is not in line with what the CCC teaches when the phrase "one, holy, catholic, and apostolic" is used), but we are starting from the same words regardless.

      @@angiebee2225 I think the problem in practice is that Protestants don’t actually believe the Creeds. What do you think the “communion of saints” means? Means those who are in heaven that intercede on our behalf to Jesus. Protestants don’t pray to Saints and some don’t even acknowledge there are Saints in heaven who are aware of what’s going on in the material world
      Do Protestants believe that Jesus descended to Hell when he died, freed the righteous and opened the gates of heaven for them? I know some definitely don’t hold to that. I questioned a family member on that who was perturbed that I said Jesus descended to hell after he was crucified. I asked him to re read the Apostles Creed and question whether he actually believed what ancient Christian’s believed

      Although not scriptural or doctrinal to the Catholic Church, you may be interested in learning about the Shroud of Turin. Just type shroud of Turin in your UA-cam search. The shroud has been venerated by Catholics for centuries as the burial clothes of Jesus Christ. You may have heard of it.

    Regarding the consubstantial part, the Spanish version of the Creed says "of the same nature as the Father", which I feel is clearer, since it doesn't use a word a regular Joe may not understand.

    Thank you for this excellent distillation of our Creed. I keep trying to explain sections of our creed to friends and it has been difficult. I have one suggestion. Please try to use a gentle non-distracting transition between your individual clips. A simple dissolve would usher the viewer from text to narrator instead of jerky slides back and forth. A good rule is that an appropriate transition should smooth out your clips and be barely noticeable. Just a thought, keep up the great work!

    Really good explanation of the Creed. Also exactly why I don't follow it because Christ said that that isn't so. After his crucifixion and Ascension, he then went up to be with the father, but not to be the father. The perfect example is elucidated by the Occurrence at his baptism where God the Father speaks from the heavens, and the Holy Spirit, separate from both of them appears and is likened unto a dove three separate beings to accomplish one single task.

    Consubstantial does not mean one in being.
    You are human, and I am human, so we are consubstantial, we are of the same essence, but we are not one being, nor are we necessarily coequal; I could be a farmer, and you could be the duke who rules over me, in which case I would be subordinate to you, yet that does not mean anything for our consubstantiality as fellow human beings.

    Great presentation father. As a side note I'm reminded of all those Dan Brown conspiracies who claim that the Creed was the ''creation'' of Christian dogma rather than the reality that it was a clarification and correction away from heresies.

  • @trevorhanlin4247
    @trevorhanlin4247 10 місяців тому +2

    eastern catholic here, we do not say the filioque, but I agree with your explanation. I also think the church can chose to add specifics to prayers an liturgy to improve the welfare of the faithful or combat specific heresies.
    We have a prayer before communion said publicly that I think the latin church should look at

      Despite the first Vatican council making it clear that Greek speaking catholics and eastern churches have a choice there was a history of forcing it at the local level, especially in America.
      The second Vatican council not only said that it should be dropped but encouraged dropping the filioque from those traditions (eastern churches) that did not have it.
      You can go to some eastern churches and the priests and cantor do not say the filioque but some from the congregation say it. I imagine that there are some priests that may also but I would suspect they are biritual latin catholic priests and don't mean to but do so out of habit.
      For the dogma side, the belief of the catholic and orthodox have been united on this since before the schism. as mentioned in the video there is pre schisim usage of it within latin speaking communities. Some bishops added it in and eventually it became standard in the latin church. but eastern churches largly did not accept this until the 1800's this is where latinization started occurring and we saw many pressures against our traditions especially in the US.
      In the early 1900s this got particularly tense with bishop John Ireland being, frankly, un Christian to his catholic brothers. This resulted in what I call the great American schism. (although the methodists are making a run at that claim.) Eastern churches by in large joined the orthodox churches. In my community we can count numerous parishes that have their origin in one catholic parish.
      The catechism of the catholic church has a good explanation of this(the filioque), I would recommend reading the surrounding sections.
      "At the outset the Eastern tradition expresses the Father's character as first origin of the Spirit. By confessing the Spirit as he "who proceeds from the Father", it affirms that he comes from the Father through the Son. The Western tradition expresses first the consubstantial communion between Father and Son, by saying that the Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son (filioque). It says this, "legitimately and with good reason", for the eternal order of the divine persons in their consubstantial communion implies that the Father, as "the principle without principle", is the first origin of the Spirit, but also that as Father of the only Son, he is, with the Son, the single principle from which the Holy Spirit proceeds. This legitimate complementarity, provided it does not become rigid, does not affect the identity of faith in the reality of the same mystery confessed." CCC 248

      Thats odd, I came back to add more and I didn't see the original response. Posting from email for clarity.
      "OCA here, woah they didn't make you guys add the filioque to be in communion with them? Interesting, so they don't consider it core dogma even now?"

    Maybe this is a sign for me to stick with the creed to have guidance in reading.
