Monarchy of the Father
The problem with the modernist monarchy of the Father revisionist folks is that they want dependency because they can’t think of a way to communicate without the appearance of subordination. However, the non-subordination among the persons of the Trinity is a dogma, biblical, and affirms the co-eternity, co-equality, and consubstantiality of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This dogma is rooted in the early Ecumenical Councils, particularly Nicaea (325 AD) and Constantinople (381 AD), which declared that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit share the same divine essence and are fully and equally God. The relational distinctions—begetting, begotten, and proceeding—are intrinsic to their personal identities but do not imply any form of subordination or dependency. This means that none of the persons is dependent on or inferior to another, preserving their co-equal status. The Church Fathers, such as St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, elaborated on this by emphasizing that these relations are eternal and do not denote a sequence or hierarchy within the Godhead. The Catechism of the Catholic Church further confirms this by stating that the three persons are distinct but inseparable, each fully possessing the divine nature without division or subordination. This dogma is essential to maintaining the unity and simplicity of God while recognizing the real distinctions within the Trinity, ensuring a coherent and orthodox understanding of the divine nature. Say no to subordination, kids. The Father is the principal source within the Trinity, emphasizing unity rather than isolated explanation.
do not do subordinationism.
