Małżeństwo obrazem Trójcy w katechezach papieża Franciszka

Abstract

An analogy between marriage and the Trinity was developed almost from the beginning of Christian theological thought, although it was not always accepted even by the greatest thinkers (as for example Augustine or Thomas Aquinas). This theological tradition is continued by pope Francis who uses t he c omparison of m arriage t o t he Trinity. Similarity between marriage and the triune God should be expressed in unity, openness towards the others (mostly towards offspring) and mutual respect: in absolute equality of a wife and a husband and maintenance of their specific identity as a woman and a man.
