noun
-
The Latin for, "and from the Son," equivalent to <i>et filio</i>, inserted by the third council of Toledo (<u>a. d.</u> 589) in the clause <i>qui ex Patre procedit</i> (who proceedeth from the Father) of the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed (<u>a. d.</u> 381), which makes a creed state that the Holy Ghost proceeds from the Son as well as from the Father. Hence, the doctrine itself (not admitted by the Eastern Church).
