5. Recent errors concerning the Most Holy Trinity, and especially concerning the Holy Spirit. The opinion that Revelation has left us uncertain about the eternity of the Trinity, and in particular about the eternal existence of the Holy Spirit as a person in God distinct from the Father and the Son, is out of line with the faith. It is true that the mystery of the most Holy Trinity was revealed to us in the economy of salvation, and most of all in Christ himself who was sent into the world by the Father and together with the Father sends to the People of God the life-giving Spirit. But by this Revelation there is also given to those who believe some knowledge of God’s intimate life, in which “the Father who generates, the Son who is generated, and the Holy Spirit who proceeds” are “consubstantial and co-equal, alike omnipotent and co-eternal” (17).
