Tim Cronin's Post on Benedict XVI's Metaphysics of Relation

2B=2B4 (To Be = To Be "For" [the Other])



"In a certain way the 'name' of the Holy Trinity is engraved on everything that exists, because all being, down to the smallest particle, exists in relation to others". -Pope Benedict XVI Feast of the Holy Trinity 2009 The Trinity is absolute unity insofar as the three divine Persons are pure relationality. -Caritas in Veritate 2009

What is meant by "God is Love"
