The First Vatican Council taught that while mankind can, by reason alone, come to know God exists, we cannot reason to the conclusion that God is a Trinity of three persons. The doctrine of the Trinity is God’s profoundest secret. If God had not revealed this truth to us, we would still be ignorant of it. Even when He has told us, we may feel that it is altogether beyond us. The tendency is to say “Uhm, OK.” and go on to think about other things.
But the doctrine of the Trinity gives us significant insights into the innermost life of God and to not think about the Trinity at all seems, well… irresponsible.
In Christ, Ken.
