Chapter I
The Holy Spirit proceeds eternally from the Father and the Son as from one principle and by one spiration. John Andrew.
Gregory X, at the general Council of Lyons.
With a faithful and devout profession we confess that the Holy Spirit proceeds eternally from the Father and the Son, not as from two principles, but as from one principle; not by two spirations, but by one spiration. This the sacrosanct Roman Church, mother and teacher of all the faithful, has hitherto professed, preached, and taught; this it firmly holds, preaches, professes, and teaches. This is the immutable and true judgment of orthodox Fathers and doctors, Latin and Greek alike.
But because certain persons, through ignorance of the aforesaid irrefragable truth, have fallen into various errors:
we, desiring to bar the way to errors of this sort, with this sacred council approving, condemn and reprove all who shall presume to deny that the Holy Spirit proceeds eternally from the Father and the Son, or even to assert with rash audacity that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son as from two principles, and not as from one.
DE SUMMA TRINITATE ET FIDE CATHOLICA.
Spiritus sanctus aeternaliter a Patre et Filio tanquam ab uno principio et unica spiratione procedit. Ioann. Andr.
Gregorius X. in generali concilio Lugdunensi. Fideli ac devota professione fatemur, quod Spiritus sanctus aeternaliter ex Patre et Filio, non tanquam ex duobus principiis, sed tanquam ex uno principio, non duabus spirationibus, sed unica spiratione procedit. Hoc professa est hactenus, praedicavit et docuit, hoc firmiter tenet et praedicat, profitetur et docet sacrosancta Romana ecclesia, mater omnium fidelium et magistra; hoc habet orthodoxorum Patrum atque doctorum Latinorum pariter et Graecorum incommutabilis et vera sententia.
Sed quia nonnulli propter irrefragabilis praemissae veritatis ignorantiam in errores varios sunt prolapsi: nos, huiusmodi erroribus viam praecludere cupientes, hoc sacro approbante concilio damnamus et reprobamus omnes, qui negare praesumpserint, aeternaliter Spiritum sanctum ex Patre et Filio procedere, sive etiam temerario ausu asserere, quod Spiritus sanctus ex Patre et Filio tanquam ex duobus principiis, et non tanquam ex uno procedat.
