That's rich coming from the tradition that starts with profane philosophy and then tries to tack on revelation as an afterthought.

Is that your final answer?

First: not above the Scripture, but to give us deeper understanding of the Scripture.
Second: Scholasticism is an explicitly Christian philosophy. What's more, objective facts about the world (whence the Divine simplicity is deduced from) aren't pagan. Is the law of non-contradiction pagan? Are laws of logic pagan? If not - consider why this is the case. If yes - how can you even study anything in theology if logic is pagan?

What I mean by clearly taught is something like "Who proceeds from the father", not imagery present in a book filled with symbolism.

As shown in John 15:26 "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:". The Holy Spirit proceeds from The Father alone and is sent from The Father to us though the Son. Likewise Jesus Christ came to be incarnate by the Holy Ghost, "she was found with child of the Holy Ghost." (Matthew 1:18).
The River of the water of life starts from the throne of God (The Father) and through the Lamb (Jesus). The Holy Ghost proceeds from The Father, sent to us through the Son.
