CCC 245

The apostolic faith concerning the Spirit was confessed by the second ecumenical council at Constantinople (381): "We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from the Father."⁷¹ Nicene Creed; cf. DS 150DS — Denzinger–Schönmetzer (Enchiridion Symbolorum). By this confession, the Church recognizes the Father as "the source and origin of the whole divinity".⁷² Council of Toledo VI (638): DS 490DS — Denzinger–Schönmetzer (Enchiridion Symbolorum). But the eternal origin of the Spirit is not unconnected with the Son's origin: "The Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, is God, one and equal with the Father and the Son, of the same substance and also of the same nature. . . Yet he is not called the Spirit of the Father alone,. . . but the Spirit of both the Father and the Son."⁷³ Council of Toledo XI (675): DS 527DS — Denzinger–Schönmetzer (Enchiridion Symbolorum). The Creed of the Church from the Council of Constantinople confesses: "With the Father and the Son, he is worshipped and glorified."⁷⁴ Nicene Creed; cf. DS 150DS — Denzinger–Schönmetzer (Enchiridion Symbolorum).
