the nicene creed
section::::trinity.:god the father.









































the central statement of catholic faith, the nicene creed, begins, "i believe in one god, the father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible." thus, catholics believe that god is not a part of nature, but that god created nature and all that exists. god is viewed as a loving and caring god who is active both in the world and in people's lives, and desires humankind to love one another.









































section::::trinity.:god the son.
catholic theology
we believe in one god the father almighty, of whom are all things. and in the only-begotten son of god, begotten of god before all ages, and before every beginning; through whom all things visible and invisible were made: who is the only-begotten born of the father, the only of the only, god of god, similar to the father who begat him, according to the scriptures, and whose generation no one knows but the father only that begat him. we know that this only-begotten son of god, as sent of the father, came down from the heavens, as it is written, for the destruction of sin and death: and that he was born of the holy spirit, and of the virgin mary according to the flesh, as it is written, and conversed with his disciples; and that after every dispensation had been fulfilled according to his father's will, he was crucified and died, and was buried and descended into the lower parts of the earth, at whose presence hades itself trembled: who also arose from the dead on the third day, again conversed with his disciples, and after the completion of forty days was taken up into the heavens, and sits at the right hand of the father, whence he will come in the last day, the day of the resurrection, in his father's glory, to requite every one according to his works. [we believe] also in the holy spirit, whom he himself the only-begotten of god, christ our lord and god, promised to send to mankind as the comforter, according as it is written, "the spirit of truth;" whom he sent to them after he was received into the heavens.but since the term ousia [substance or essence], which was used by the fathers in a very simple and intelligible sense, but not being understood by the people, has been a cause of offense, we have thought proper to reject it, as it is not contained even in the sacred writings; and that no mention of it should be made in future, inasmuch as the holy scriptures have nowhere mentioned the substance of the father and of the son. nor ought the "subsistence" of the father, and of the son, and of the holy spirit to be even named. but we affirm that the son is similar to the father, in such a manner as the sacred scriptures declare and teach. let therefore all heresies which have been already condemned, or may have arisen of late, which are opposed to this exploitation of the faith, be anathema.
