Systematic Index

The Son is not the matter from which God created 1909, but through Him all things are made 54, 77, 86; He rules all 422; as the Son He is not predestined 285; He alone is incarnate 282, 285, 422, and suffered 42a; He is not better called "Word" than "Son" 1597. [On the Incarnate Word see VIIIa ff.]

V d The Holy Spirit is true God 2 ff., 13 ff., 39, 51, 54, 58 ff., 74, 275 ff., 296, 344, 461, 463, 1084, 1461, neither born, nor created 39, 277, proceeding from the Father and the Son 15, 19, 83, 277, 345 f., 369, 428, 460, 463, 574a, 691, 703, 994, 1084, 2147a, as from one principle 460, 691, 704; He is immutable 14; He is not made 14, 76; but all things are made through Him 77; He is to be adored as the Father and the Son 80, 86; He is sent by the Father and the Son 277; He is not the Father of Christ 282, nor the soul of the world 370; He is the inspirer of the Law and the Prophets 86, 344, of both Testaments 13, 345 f., 706 f., 783, 1787; He is the cause of the Incarnation 290, 344, 429; He is the vivifier 86; He dwells in the Church 302; He is sent to the apostles and the faithful and works in them 13; He teaches a universal council 930; He acts in the sacraments 424; He is received with sanctifying grace 799; He is sevenfold 83; He gives seven gifts 83; He is given in a special way in confirmation 697, and ordination 964.

VARIOUS EXPLANATIONS AND MANNER OF SPEAKING

V e These three Persons are among themselves really distinct 39, 231, 281, 523 f., 703 ff.; but each is whole in the others (circumincession) 704; in them there is nothing before or after 39; the Deity is not diminished in each, it is not increased in the Three 279.

There are in God relations numerically distinct 280, 703, and properties 281, 296, 428.

The Persons together with the essence do not constitute a quaternity 431 f.; nor because of the Incarnation is a quaternity made 283.

Reality, idealness, and morality are not persons 1916.

God is not to be called threefold, but triune 278; not "one God distinct in three Persons," but "in three distinct Persons" 1596, 1655.

A real distinction is not to be established between the nature and the Persons (subsistences) 389, 431; some distinction, however, is to be made 523 f.

The formulas: "Will generates will," "Wisdom generates wisdom" are to be rightly understood 294, 296.

This revealed truth is a mystery 1655, 1915, falsely explained by Ant. Guenther 1655.

GOD THE CREATOR

CREATION

VI a The triune God 48, 79, 281, 421, created the world from nothing 1 ff., 19, 21, 29, 54, 86, 235, 343, 421, 428, 461, 706, 994, 1782 f., 1801, 1805, when He willed 374, 706, not from eternity 391, 501 ff., 3017, but from the beginning of time 428, 1783, 2123; not of necessity 501, 503, but freely from His goodness 374, 607, 706, 1655, 1783, 1805, 1908, 3017; nevertheless God is not the only cause of true effects 559 ff., nor did He create the best world 569, nor another world, so that Adam was not the first man 717c.

Creation is falsely explained by the Origenists 203 ff., Priscillianus and the Manicheans 237 ff., Ekard 501 ff., the ontologists 1664 f., Rosmini 1905 ff., the pantheists 1701, 1803 f., the emanatianists 34, 232, 1665, 1804.

Creatures

VI b Creatures of two kinds are to be distinguished (distinct from God 1701, 1782, 1803): visible and invisible, bodily and spiritual 9, 13, 19, 54, 86, 343, 421, 428, 461, 706, 994, 1783,
