operations 144, 251 ff., 264 ff., 288 f., 291 f., 344, 710, 1465. The two wills are not contrary to each other 251 f., 288 ff., 1465; the operation θεανδρική, so-called, is to be rightly understood 268.

ONE PERSON

(The Hypostatic Union)

VIII d Christ is only one Person 20, 42a, 143, 215 ff., 261, 269, 283, 312, 314a, 344, 422, 429, 462, 480, 710, 876, 1462 f., 1655, so that God and man in Him are one and the same 13, 111a, 215 ff., 257, 259, 288 ff., 312, 708, whole God-man and whole man-God 168; He is consubstantial with God and with man 148, 220, 257, "a third person in the Trinity" 372, but neither the Father nor the Holy Spirit 422.

The natures are united not only through having the same name, grace, dignity, authority, operation, relation, confusion, affection, and virtue 111a, 115, 121, 216, 708, 710, nor only through denomination or adoration 216, nor through the conversion of one nature into the other 40;

but they are united according to subsistence (ὑπόστασιν), which is called hypostatic union 13, 111a, 115 f., 148, 216 ff., 226, 261, 288, 292, 344, 429, 462, 480, 708, 710, 1463, which was accomplished from the first moment of the Incarnation 111a, 204 f., 234, 250. The hypostatic union (falsely explained by Ant. Guenther 1665, and Rosmini 1917) is ineffable and incomprehensible and a mystery strictly so-called 1462, 1669.

CONSEQUENCES AND MANNERS OF SPEAKING

VIII e Christ is not to be called only θεοφόρος, or godly 117, 312, or the dwelling place of God 123, 708, nor one composite nature 288, nor simply "two natures" 630.

From unity of person there follows a communication of idioms, or reciprocal predication of properties and operations 16, 116, 121, 124, 201, 222, 224, 248, 372, 480, 1339; hence the "agnoeti" erred 248.

The operations of the human nature are made more dignified by being joined with the divinity 550, 1019.

The humanity of Christ itself is to be adored 120, 221; and indeed directly as united with divinity 224, 1561, with one adoration, not two 120, 221; and also to be loved by the perfect 1255; this cult of latria is fitting especially to the Eucharistic Christ 478, 878, 888, C1255 sec. 1; and to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus 1563.

The Man Christ is the only Son of God 2, 64, and natural 143, 1460, in no way adopted 299, 309 ff., 314a, 344, 462; a "servant" only allegorically through obedience 310, 313; He is not the Son of the Holy Spirit 282; but truly a Son of man; see VIIIi; He can be called less than the Father and Holy Spirit, greater or less than Himself 285; He cannot be called incapable of being born 26; rather He has two nativities, eternal as God and temporal as man 257, 285, 290, 344, 1463.

VIII f Christ was conceived holy and without sin, born and died 13, 18, 65, 122, 148, 224 f., 251, 258, 286, 290, 711, 1463; rather impeccable even before the resurrection 224; for this reason He did not need purification 1314; He had the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit 83, in particular even fear of God 378; He was not subject to passions nor improved by progress 224; He did not offer sacrifice for Himself 122; He was free in the Passion 215, 253, 255; He performed miracles 215, 1624, 1790, 1813, 2084, by His own power 121, and gave forth prophecies 1790, and His soul knew from the beginning all things in the Word, which God knows by a knowledge of vision 2183 ff., 2289, even the last day 248, 2032 ff.

In Christ three substances can indeed rightly be distinguished: the Word, the soul, the flesh 285, 295; but He is better called a person and two sub-
