Psalm 17 (18): 2-7, 17I will love thee, O Lord, my strength. The Lord s my firmament, my refuge, and my deliverer. My God is my helper, and in him will I put my trust.

Filioque The Western Church commonly uses a version of the Nicene creed which has the Latin word filioque ("and the Son") added after the declaration that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father. Scripture reveals that the Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son. The external relationships of the persons of the Trinity mirror their internal relationships. Just as the Father externally sent the Son into the world in time, the Son internally proceeds from the Father in the Trinity. Just as the Spirit is externally sent into the world by the Son as well as the Father (John...

Despite Scott Hahn's appeal to popular Catholics such as Maximilian Kolbe, Edith Stein or Helen Hull Hitchcock, Catholic dogma says nothing in support of Hahn's attempt to identify the Holy Spirit as the feminine side of the Trinity. Likewise, it is not surprising that Hahn finds virtually no support among the Fathers. Of the over two hundred Fathers at his disposal, Hahn can find no Latin Fathers who agree with him. This is quite a lacuna in the evidence, considering the voluminous writings of Augustine, Jerome and Ambrose. Of the scores of Eastern Fathers, Hahn can only find four rather...

In the beginning of this chapter, the Lord, in a vision, brings the prophet Ezekiel into a valley full of dead men's bones, quite dried and withered, and asks him the question, if he thought it possible for these dry bones to live?

Fragment from the Discourse.1 I see in all three essentials-substance, genus, name. We speak of man, servant, curator (curatorem),-man, by reason of substance; servant, by reason of genus or condition; curator, by reason of denomination. We speak also of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: these, however, are not names which have only supervened at some after period, but they are subsistences. Again, the denomination of man is not in actual fact a denomination, but a substance common to men, and is the denomination proper to all men. Moreover, names are such as these,-Adam, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob: these, I say, are...
