Economic Trinity With Respect to Deification

Great to see a copy of the Oxford Handbook of Deification (an excellent collection) in the hands of the Holy Father, presented by one of the editors, Paul Gavrilyuk. @OUPAcademic @OUPReligion @Pontifex @Pontifex_ln @OU_TheoReligion pic.twitter.com/rrwO7R4Kpr

Latin Trinitarian Theology

From all eternity, the Father forgets about himself in love and generates the Son, and from all eternity, the Son forgets about himself and looks to the Father, and the mutual love of Father and Son is the Holy Spirit.

God-Breathed Psalms?

One intervention at Vatican II argued that the psalms *Iudica me* at the foot and *Lavabo* during the offertory had “lost their meaning” and so should be suppressed. Might I suggest that, if the God-breathed psalms have “lost their meaning,” we might want to try to find it?

Inspired?

Latin Unitarianism

Our friendship with God does not depend on our goodness, or anything we could possibly earn. It is rooted in God’s great and mysterious love. The same love that led him to lay down his life for all of us.

Uncanonical Images

Arising from the lack of an iconographic tradition in the patriarchate of Rome.

The Father loves the Son, and the Son loves the Father, and out of their eternal love proceeds the Holy Spirit, three persons subsisting in the one divine essence.

Thee, O God, the Father unbegotten; thee, the only-begotten Son; thee, O Holy Spirit, the Paraclete; holy and undivided Trinity, with our whole heart and voice we acknowledge thee, we praise thee, we bless thee; to thee be glory for ever and ever. #Ordinariate #TrinitySunday pic.twitter.com/6JiyIFZGIc

The Latin View

Christ is the uncreated Word of the Father, the eternal Son of God. He is the wisdom of the Father who has become human for our sake. The Holy Spirit is the eternally spirated Love of the Father and the Son who has been sent into the world to sanctify the Church pic.twitter.com/XRMNaqAF76

A contrast?

In case you are thinking of the Trinity. #TrinitySunday https://t.co/35lDchguvG

A Latin View of the Spirit of God?

The Holy Spirit, the love of God, acts in our spirit. He comes down “within the heart”, as “the soul’s most welcome guest”. He is the very love of God, who does not abandon us. #Pentecost https://t.co/lYb421RJBX

What Does "God" Name?

The saints show us that we can praise God always, in good times and in bad, because He is the faithful friend, and his love never fails.

Christian theology people, I thoroughly recommend listening to this talk by Professor Katherine Sonderegger on the Holy Trinity: Processions and Persons. Ever wondered what a doctrine of the Trinity might look like of it jumped off from Leviticus? Find it here! https://t.co/utyY9974eK

A Pernicious Error

This has had a lot of bad consequences in popular spirituality and theology, and now political commentary. There is nothing we have that was given to us by the Father, and nothing that we can return to Him that was not first given to us by Him, and this is true even of the Son of God.

In our relationship with God, everything is given to us in our act of surrender to the Father. To relinquish is to receive. We come to rule ourselves, the only sovereignty that guarantees happiness, when we give power back to God. #ChristTheKing https://t.co/4b45i8TVHI

There's a Trinitarian/Christological Heresy

The Son is so absolutely dependent on the Father that paradoxically he is entirely independent of him. He is only equal to the Father as receiving all from him but as receiving all he is of himself self-originated and self-unified else he would not be equal.Per filium as Filioque

Plotinus as Progress

All this suggests that a Trinitarian ontology will naturally tend to revise Aristotle. Perhaps even more than Aquinas did, though he did revise Aristotelian metaphysics both neoplatonically and for doctrinal reasons. (As neo-Thomism ignores.)

— john milbank (@johnmilbank3) July 26, 2020

For Plato and Plotinus there are five genres of being, rest, motion, same and other that are really more like transcendentals. In fully real intelligible reality they fully coincide. In material reality they more tend to exclude each other and come in degrees.

— john milbank (@johnmilbank3) July 26, 2020

Plotinus also questions Aristotle’s distinction of action and making. For him even action as thought moves, goes out from itself, emanates. Augustine and Aquinas’s thought on verbum is jn this lineage. (Lonergan totally wrong here.)
