Now what does St. Augustine say? He destroys the schismatic belief of the Greeks by confessing that the Holy Spirit receives His essence from both the Father and the Son which is directly against Blachernae which confesses it is from the Father alone. From…
As we can see clearly, St. Augustine is talking about the hypostatic procession ALONE and no eternal manifestation (which exists nowhere) or temporal mission. Why? Because he says just as the Father eternally begets the Son and gives him essence and this act is timeless so do the Father and the Son "without any beginning in time" give the divine essence to the Holy Spirit from all eternity. He then affirms the Latin doctrine by saying that the Spirit proceeds from the Father principally but equally from both.

How much clearer can he get? Is the eternal communication of the divine essence to the Holy Spirit a temporal mission or eternal manifestation? Ofc not. Let us revisit the doctrine of Blachernae which says communication of essence and being is from the Father ALONE

Therefore, St. Augustine teaches that the Holy Spirit receives His being and essence from all eternity from both, yet from the Father principally, confirming the exact same words of Florence. In fact, Florence is using Augustine WORD-FOR-WORD. Craig Truglia has written a billion articles on Augustine yet he has not been able to explain any of these. Indeed, he is a dishonest liar and knows that the communication of essence to the Spirit from both the Father and the Son refutes his beliefs, but he won't admit it. If any Eastern Orthodox says that the Holy Spirit has been communicated being and essence from all eternity from the Father and the Son, they automatically profess the Filioque. And the honest Eastern Orthodox have admitted that the Spirit has being and essence from Father alone!

Let us therefore compare Augustine with Blachernae and Florence one more time. First, Augustine teaches that the Father and the Son are hypostatic principle of the Spirit and eternally communicate the divine essence in a timeless act to the Holy Spirit.

This is exactly what Florence says as you can see here, secondly, he says the procession is from the Father principally which is obvious because the Father is a se and has spiration from no one and remains the fount of the Trinity, hence Florence says:

So Latins did not assert the Filioque in order to exclude the Father from being the fount & the Holy Spirit proceeding principally from the Father; indeed, the Filioque strongly affirms that the Father is the fountain of the Trinity and from him alone Spirit proceeds principally. But as we saw, Augustine says that both are equally one principle of Spirit's hypostatic procession and both eternally communicate the divine essence to the Spirit. And this is explicitly condemned at Blachernae which says communication of being & essence is from the Father alone do not be deceived by the likes of Truglia who, on their path to the eternal flames of hell, want to drag in others with them. Submit to the truth that Christ taught in the Gospel of S. John that he receives everything from His Father and the Spirit receives everything from both.

"Another great contribution of the Franks to Orthodoxy and civilization in general was the destruction of the Muslim Arab armies by the Frankish leader Charles Martel at Poitiers in 732. However, Romanides argues that the battle of Poitiers was in fact a suppression of a Gallo-Roman revolution that was supported by Arabs and Numidian Romans!
Romanides’ obsession with proving that the Franks were the root of all western evil even leads him to claim that the French revolution was the final, successful rising of the Gallo-Romans against the Franks!"

On June 27, 1953, romanian Greek Catholic bishop and martyr Ioan Suciu passed away in the Sighet prison in order to be with the Lord. His aides in the Legionary Movement tried to save him before his arrest in 1948 by getting him out of the country, but the bishop refused to leave. His books Youth and Heroism urged a heroic Christian life and were recommended to the young members of the Legionary Movement. He wrote to the faithful on October 5, 1948, when the communist authorities launched a campaign to dissolve the Greek Catholic Church and convert her clerics to Eastern Orthodoxy:

"Do not be deceived by committees, by words, by news, by lies, but stand strong, unwavering, steadfast in the faith for which our ancestors and forefathers shed blood. Do not put your name on any paper that requires you to forsake the law of your fathers. They will threaten you, they will beat you, they will take you to trials and before the judges. Do not be afraid, God is with each one of us, and will not let us be tempted and suffer more than we can bear. The world is looking at us, at the believers of the Uniate [Greek-Catholic] Church. We are a sight to the world. Oh, beloved faithful, let us not be a herd of fools, but confessors of the faith, be resolute members of the Church of Jesus in the Romanian Nation... Even if they take away our churches for a while, we will make a church at home, waiting full of hope for the deliverance, which will not be long."
