The purpose of the article is to present the dogmatic controversies between Orthodox and Ro- man Catholic Church, particulary these, related with the way of comprehending of the dogma of Trinity and the formula of filioque. It describes the historical basis of the dispute, the way it had evolved during the centuries, the reasons and the aspects of the escalations of the conflict as well as the attempts to prevent them and ecumenical attempts reconciliate both Churches in last decades. The article devotes particular attention to the question of instrumental taking advantage of theologi- cal dispute to secular purposes, related with the fight for power and primacy upon the Christian world. It presents the way in that the political competition between both Churches had found its indirect expression in strictly theological discussions and through formulating the succeeding dog- mas in credo. It describes as well the influence of the widely understaded extratheological, "exter- nal" factors on the process formulating of particular dogmas. The article presents also how in ground insignificant dogmatic aspects divide both Churches and how great importance in their mu- tual relations play the historical animosies and politic-prestigious reasons.

During twelve years St. Methodius build up Slavonic Church in Central Europe. His position was a singulary difficult one. He had to contend with problems caused by Franks. The Frankish clergy did everything possible to undermine his authority: their resentment of his archiepiscopal powers and their dogged opposition to the Slavonic liturgy now combined with a theological grievance, which they loudly voiced both in Moravia and in Rome. The Frankish Church now firmly committed to the doctrine of the filioque. It had already arisen in 867, when patriarch Photius denounced the Franks for spreading filioque in Bulgaria. Now in Moravia, between 879 and 885, filioque flared up afresh, embittering the last years of Methodius’ life. The Church of Rome, though it did not formally accept filioque until the early eleventh century, had already begun to adopt it unofficially. The Byzantine Church strongly objected to the filioque, partly on the grounds that any alternation to the Creed had been expressly forbidden by the ecumenical councils, and partly because it believed to be theologically erroneous. Methodius, who, despite his position as papal legate, remained a Byzantine in outlook, could not fail to regard this doctrine, accepted by Frankish subordinate clergy as heretical. The filioque was to become the basic theological issue in the medieval controversies between the Byzantine and Roman Churches.
