REAT SORROW and anger have afflicted the Church at times on account of disputes over the procession of the Holy Spirit—namely, how he is or is not from the Son. It is salubrious, therefore, to take note of the agreement on this point between theologians of the East and the West and of different epochs, provided that we do not impose a harmony alien to an author’s thought so as to quench our personal anxieties. This article will briefly compare St. Gregory of Nazianzus’s understanding of the procession of the Holy Spirit with that of St. Thomas Aquinas. We will verify a profound basic agreement between these two saints but also clear differences. For instance, Nazianzen and Aquinas agree on the formulation that the Holy
