"Vindicating the Filioque gives much-needed clarity to the old dispute of the so-called 'Greek' and 'Latin' traditions regarding the procession of the Holy Spirit. Crean provides an engrossing analysis of a diverse range of Church Fathers on the topic, with a detailed analysis of Greek and Latin theological terms, showing how the teaching of the Fathers stands in relation to the Florentine definition. Examining the concept of ecumenicity embodied by the first seven councils, Crean shows how the Council of Florence meets any criteria accepted at the time by Greeks or Latins, vindicating the infallibility of its definitive teachings on matters of faith. As a Catholic priest of the Byzantine Rite, I consider this book to hold a special importance for rediscovering the theological heritage of the Eastern Catholic Churches and I recognize its important contribution to ecumenical dialogue. The good friar has offered us a clear exposition of 'fides orthodoxa' regarding the Procession of the Holy Spirit."" - Rev. Dr. Yosyp Veresh Greek Catholic Eparchy of Mukachevo"
