| Summary: | The Nicene-Constantinopolitan creed has returned to the centre of the ecumenical scene in view of the 2025 celebrations, without ever actually having left theological conversations: think of the last forty years of dialogue between the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church, many of which were spent on the filioque question. It was re-discovered as the cornerstone of Christian unity by a theology that, in the nineteenth century, returned the fact of faith to the horizon of history and therefore relativised the doctrinal differences between the churches, allowing them to delve down again to the heart of the Christian faith. The road towards what would be one of the greatest conquests of the twentiethcentury ecumenical movement was opened, among others, by the people and documents examined in this article: Johann A. Möhler, Ignaz von Döllinger and the Chicago-Lambeth Quadrilateral. |
