Summary/Abstract: In the second half of the 4th century, the Church was going to be shaken, again, by one of the most virulent heresies, supported by Macedonia, the Constantinople bishop and, later on, by his deacon, Maratoniu, who were, at this point, in denial of the divinity of the Holy Spirit, Its equality and consubstantiality with the Father and the Son. Prevalent at first in the Eastern parts, this heresy would quickly take over the entire Church, causing disunions and confusion among believers. Historical sources during the period remember arguers of the Holy Spirit under the name of pneumatomachians, Macedonians or marathonians.
