filioque

Leo is in Turkey and I discovered the reason for the Schism in 1054: filioque. 
"who proceeds from the Father and the Son . . ." 
or does it mean "who proceeds from the Father through the Son . . ." 
Either way it makes me so cross that such subtle matters of interpretation split the church.
And once the cracks appear they only widen: like faults in concrete. 
Language: our greatest gift but, at the very same time, a tower of Babel.
