- Title
The Centrality of the Trinity: Exploring the Significance for Christians, Catechists and Deacons.
- Authors

- Abstract
This passage from the teaching of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) (234) on the profession of faith identifies the core principles and underlying recognition of Catholics regarding belief in a triune God -- one God existent in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It is argued that the trinity is the core of the Christian faith, but from the very beginning the faithful relied on metaphor to explain and help others understand how three could be one. Additionally, the three Persons are not to be understood as merely three aspects or personalities of God. Nor are they to be understood as three separate individuals comprising some sort of collective or union of gods. As a teaching, therefore, understanding the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity opens Scripture to more than an historical account of people and their beliefs, and sheds light onto the mystery of creation, the nature of God, and meaning of life.
