Gerakas, the Filioque first started in Spain as a weapon to fight arianism, and eventually it found it\'s way to Rome. However, it was not accepted as Rome\'s offical creed until the beginning of the eleventh century, and did not become dogma until the 13th century.
\"Why don\'t we just call them heretics and be done with it?\" For example, if you had a friend, and you got in an argument, even if you were sure you were right, you wouldn\'t just start calling him names, would you? You\'d probably try to come to some sort of agreement together, and calling him names wouldn\'t help (even if he did deserve them)
As for Aristotle\'s Axiom, if both sides agree on everything, there\'s not going to be much of a dialogue. You have to assume there will be some disagreements, or else there won\'t be a dialogue. There\'s so much that we share in common with the Catholic church, that dialogue can work.
And btw, what is the Pater Ymwn?
