Kosta, for all your protestations, it appears to me and most observers that the Orthodox are capitulating with the Roman church (and thus the correct interpretation of the Filioque), and not the other way around.

That's good news.

Gotta run.

You can read into it whatever you want. We have not changed our position from the beginning because there is nothing to change, and will never change it. It is clear that the Catholic recommendation in the joint commission I linked in a recent post to you, decided few years ago just the opposite of what you claim.

It is also clear that all Eatern-Catholic Churches (i.e. Ukrainian, Melkite, etc.) recite the Creed without the Filioque and that no one accuse them or 'error.'

You have a straw man. But then, isn't all of Reformation one giant straw men?
