I’ve recently become a classical theist and I’m hoping that Catholicism is true, but I have a certain doubt about the Trinity.
How is it reconciled between divine simplicity and the Trinity having relationships (as Catholicism teaches that the Father has the Son begotten and has the Holy Spirit proceed from Him)? My difficulty is that if x is begotten from Y, this really seems to contradict divine simplicity as well as the teaching that the Trinity is not made of parts.
I understand that the relationships are not merely within the mind, as that would be Modalism.
Help?
