Paragraph 2. THE FATHER
254
The divine persons are really distinct from one another. “God is one but
not solitary.”86 “Father”, “Son”, “Holy
Spirit” are not simply names designating modalities of the divine being,
for they are really distinct from one another: “He is not the Father who
is the Son, nor is the Son he who is the Father, nor is the Holy Spirit he who
is the Father or the Son.”87 They are distinct from one another in
their relations of origin: “It is the Father who generates, the Son who is
begotten, and the Holy Spirit who proceeds.”88 The divine Unity is
Triune.
