Love her or hate her, but the Hawk Tuah girl showed she’s on another level when she broke down the Filioque issue. Most people don’t even realize it was originally added at the Council of Toledo in 589, and without the consensus of the entire Church. This wasn’t just some minor edit; it fundamentally altered the theology of the Trinity by claiming the Holy Spirit proceeds from both the Father and the Son, directly contradicting the original Nicene Creed that stated the Spirit proceeds only from the Father.
What’s worse is how the West, particularly under Charlemagne, pushed the Filioque into the liturgy at the Council of Aachen in 809, even though it was still rejected by the Pope at the time. It was a centuries-long political and theological power play, culminating in 1054 with the Great Schism. This wasn’t just about doctrine—it was about the Western Church asserting dominance over the East, fracturing the unity of Christendom.
Hawk Tuah sees through the layers of this, recognizing that Eastern Orthodoxy has preserved the original, unaltered faith, while the West veered off course.
