Ratzinger on Tuesday

The doctrine of the Trinity did not arise out of speculation about God, out of an attempt by philosophical thinking to figure out what the fount of all being was like; it developed out of the effort to digest historical experiences...

One finds God in the shape of the ambassador who is completely God, not one kind of intermediary being, yet with us says to God "Father".


Joseph Ratzinger, Introduction to Christianity,
p.163
