Filioque - Latin for "and from the son."

"The word inserted in the western version of the Nicene Creed to assert the doctrine of the procession of the Holy Ghost from the Son as well as from the Father, which is not admitted by the Eastern Church. It was one of the central issues of the Great Schism of 1054."
<Confessing the One Faith>

"Originally not in the confessions from Nicaea (325) and Constantinople (381), apparently it was first inserted at the local Council of Toledo (589) and despite opposition gradually established itself in the West, being officially endorsed in 1017."

Eastern Argument
"On the Eastern side two points may be made. First, the relevant verse in John's Gospel (15:26) speaks only of a proceeding from the Father. Second, the addition never had ecumenical approval." 

Western Argument
"Yet two points may also support the filioque. First, it safeguards the vital Nicene truth that the Son is consubstantial with the Father. Second, the Son as well as the Father sends the Spirit in John 15:26; by analogy with this relationship to us we are justified in inferring that the Spirit proceeds from both Father and Son in the intratrinitarian relationship. Not saying this divorces the Spirit from the Son, contradicting passages that speak of the Spirit of Christ (cf. Rom. 8:9; Gal. 4:6)."
