Re: The Filioque Done Right
Consider reading Lossky's Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church . He explains very well where the Latin error originated and why it is basically sour at the root. The Fathers preserved the phrase "proceedeth from the Father," and not the Latin error. They did not make an attempt to synth...

Why does Metropolitan Raphael dress in Patriarchal vestments, though? Nobody has been able to explain this to me.
