That the Son is also principle of the Holy Spirit.
It
is also proven from the aforesaid authorities that the Son is the
principle of the Holy Spirit. For Gregory Nazianzen says in his
discourse on the Council of Constantinople: “We believe the holy
Trinity” namely, the Father without a principle, the Son, however, a
principle from a principle, the Father, but the Holy Spirit with the Son
as principle, to be one God throughout all and over all.” 
But the Father is principle of the Son in this that the Son is from
him eternally. Hence, the Holy Spirit is from the Son eternally.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
