As Moses was told by God to remove his sandals,
before approaching the burning bush, the ‘definers’
of doctrine paid the price for the hubritic act of not removing
the ‘sandals of intellect,’ and embracing the mystery of the sacred.

The filioque has its own multiple threads. Check them out if you are that interested.
Attacking intellect as hubris and pitting intellect against mysticism is condemned by Peter.
The Orthodox as a rule attack scholastics, intellect, and increasing knowledge, because as Bp Ware says in his book
Orthodox Church, the Orthodox for most of their existence were under Muslim rule. If they wanted to increase knowledge, they had to come to the West.

The moment the coin in the coffer rings
A soul from purgatory springs.

Then it should stop…right? But you keep it going because…?

Yet this is what happens, when hubris rules the day.
The Church “opened the door” to those who would
caricaturize this practice, over the centuries.
