Father Joseph Gulliford explains why Catholics believe that there is only one God, but we also profess God to be Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. To some people it sounds like a contradiction: how can God be both one and three? How can Catholics claim to worship only one God when they say the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God? To understand the answer, we need to look at why Catholics believe in the Trinity, and what this teaching really means.

We must, then, avoid the "Babel syndrome," namely the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance. The risk of dehumanization —  of building a future that excludes God and reduces the other to a means —  is an ancient and ever-new temptation that today takes on a technical guise. Instead, let us choose the "way of Nehemiah," which highlights the importance of working together to make the City of God a safe place for returning exiles. Rebuilding today means recognizing that, precisely from the plurality of voices and visions which, even though they sometimes remind us of the confusion caused by the diversity of spoken languages, a bright possibility emerges. Indeed, this is the possibility of building together, of transforming diversity into a resource and of making listening and dialogue the common ground upon which to cultivate justice and fraternity. Within this shared task, Christians discover their unique role of guiding actions toward God so that, in his light, pluralism does not dissipate into disorder, but instead, through the practice of synodality, it becomes the space in which humanity rediscovers its solid foundations and its final end. In the Book of Revelation, John sees the New Jerusalem "coming down out of heaven from God" (Rev 21:2) as a gift for all humanity. And this vision of grace is an invitation  for us Christians to work together in order  to foster a peaceful, just and dignified life in community within today's "cities."
