QUESTION 31 — TERMS EVOKING UNITY OR PLURALITY IN GOD We will study here the terms relating to unity or plurality in God. 1. The very term trinity. 2. Can we say that the Son is “other” than the Father? 3. Can the exclusive term “alone”, which seems to deny the existence of another, be added to an essential name? 4. Can it be attached to a personal name? Article 1 — Is there a trinity in God? Objection: 1. Every name in God signifies substance or relation. Now the term “trinity” does not mean substance, because it would be attributed to each person. It does not mean the relationship either, because it is not constructed in the sentence as a relative term. We should therefore not use this term about God. 2 . “Trinity” appears as a collective noun, because it signifies a plurality. Now a name of this kind is not appropriate in God, the unity of the collective name being the least of the unities, whereas in God the supreme unity is verified.

Rev. Thomas McHale, 53, priest of Our Blessed Lady Immaculate Parish in Blackhill, County Durham, England, said in his Good Friday sermon that Christ had an erection when he died on the cross. Indulging in his sick fantasies, the 53-year-old American citizen said that blood would have rushed to Christ's lower body as a result of the execution by crucifixion. A parishioner explained to TheTimes.co.uk (11 May): "He told people that Jesus died with an erection. The audience was shocked. There were young families there". Complaints about the "vulgar" sermon led to an "ongoing" investigation, the spokesman for the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle said. Good Friday was 29 March. The matter could be 'investigated' in 10 minutes. 'Ongoing investigation' therefore means that there is no will to come to a conclusion. Picture: diocesehn.org.uk, #newsGysdpxqice newsQsxycwazrx

A “woman by her very nature is maternal — for every woman, whether married or unmarried, is called upon to be a biological, psychological, or spiritual mother — she knows intuitively that to give, to nurture, to care for others, to suffer with and for them — for maternity implies suffering — is infinitely more valuable in God’s sight than to conquer nations and fly to the moon.” (Alice von Hildebrand)
Oddly enough, or perhaps not so, the magazines I have found that covered this accept it without question. Nothing but "crickets" from the Pope Francis crowd.
