The third person of the Trinity: the Spirit : Comments

By Peter Sellick, published 5/10/2017

Calling the trinitarian entities 'persons' is obviously metaphorical since they are not persons as you and I are persons.

"When the former Cardinal was elected Pope in March, he chose seven cardinals from the Americas, Africa, Asia, Europe and Australia plus one Vatican official as outside advisers.. this group – dubbed the “Vatican Eight” or “V8” – showed that Francis was reaching out .
Cardinal Pell did explain the purpose of the V8. Field Marshal Montgomery had a core of middle-ranking officers who worked with him in Headquarters mostly on motorbikes” .

Now I want to see a hotted-up popemobile, with Monsignor Stig behind the wheel. What sort of god wouldn't protect his chosen representative on Earth from whiplash and other complications of excessive G-forces?

The Roman Catholic Church: manufacturers of the First V8 Inquisitor. Doing doughies for Jesus. I can see this catching on...

Dear Peter,

.

Further to my previous post (page 7 of this forum) :

In his post-synodal apostolic exhortation, “Amoris Laetitia”, of March 2016, this is what Pope Francis had to say about the traditional and ever present machismo, or what he terms “male chauvinism” :

« I certainly value feminism, but one that does not demand uniformity or negate motherhood. For the grandeur of women includes all the rights derived from their inalienable human dignity but also from their feminine genius, which is essential to society." (paragraph 173)

...I would like to stress the fact that, even though significant advances have been made in the recognition of women's rights and their participation in public life, in some countries much remains to be done to promote these rights....There are those who believe that many of today’s problems have arisen because of feminine emancipation. This argument, however, is not valid, “it is false, untrue, a form of male chauvinism”. The equal dignity of men and women makes us rejoice to see old forms of discrimination disappear, and within families there is a growing reciprocity. If certain forms of feminism have arisen which we must consider inadequate, we must nonetheless see in the women's movement the working of the Spirit for a clearer recognition of the dignity and rights of women." (paragraph 54) » :

Once again, here is the link previously posted by George on page 2 of this forum :

.

Unfortunately, he makes no mention of the fact that the theological concept of the trinity clearly reflects traditional macho mentality which the Church continues to perpetuate.

Unless, of course, we should infer from his remarks that he considers that the divine trio is also guilty of what he calls “male chauvinism” – an “old form of discrimination” which should also “disappear” amid our “rejoicing” of the “equal dignity of men and women” – or should I say “gods and goddesses” – or are they exempt ?

That’s an interesting subject of theological research don’t you think ?
