Tuitio Fidei - Defense of Faith Everywhere Christianity is being challenged. As Knights and Dames of the Order, we must be prepared to exercise in special ways the witness to the truth of Christ's teachings, which is the vocation of every baptised Christian. We should always be concerned to deepen our knowledge of our Catholic teachings. This page is dedicated to promoting continued knowledge of our Faith which is safeguarded by the Magesterium of the Catholic Church. Theological Explanation of the Trinity:
"The First Person knows Himself; His act of knowing Himself produces and Idea, a Word; and this Idea, this Word, is the Second Person. The First Person and the Second combine in an act of love - love of one another, love of the glory of the Godhead which is their own; and just as the act of knowing produces an Idea within the Divine Nature, the act of loving produces a state of Lovingness within the Divine Nature. Into this Lovingness, Father and Son pour all that They have and all that They are, with no diminution, nothing held back. Thus this Lovingness within the Godhead is utterly equal to the Father and the Son, for They have poured Their all into it. There is nothing They have which their Lovingness does not have. Thus Their Lovingness too is Infinite, Eternal, Living, Someone, a Person, God. Observe that here again we are still within the Divine Nature. For love is wholly within the nature of the lover. But this love wholly contains the Divine Nature, for God puts the whole of Himself into love."
