The union is hypostatic or in the person of the Word.<br /><br />Therefore, since the humanity is joined through the person and not through the nature, it is possible for only one of the persons to become incarnate.<br /><br />A very simple (and even a bit simplistic) way of understanding the difference between person and nature is this:<br />"Person" is who someone is, while "nature" is what they are.<br />Who is Jesus? The Word -- a divine person.<br />What is Jesus? God (by his divine nature) and Man (by his human nature).<br /><br />Who became incarnate? The Word/Son.<br />What became incarnate? God.<br /><br />Did the Father become incarnate? No.<br />Did God become incarnate? Yes.

Emile Mersch repeated your excellent summary of the traditional teaching on the unity in Jesus – one divine person, two natures. He and Cardinal Kasper then had some rather novel views based on questions of consciousness and psychology. As you said there is no definite pronouncement on their views. I know that Cardinal Dulles became quite conservative in his later years and perhaps he and Cardinal Kasper may did not hold those same positions in later life. Since there is no real conflict between God’s truth and science, there may someday be a development in traditional Church teaching. I really enjoy reading your presentations on Catholic theology and will look forward to more of them.

We cannot escape the inference that Chri...(3 of 3)<br /><br />We cannot escape the inference that Christ has a human personality or self (“I”) or ego, if we mean by personality as understood in psychological terms. The reason for this is because Christ has a human subjectivity or human consciousness. In my book (Introduction to Moral Philosophy: An Anthropology-based Ethics), which is coming next week, I have argued that the phenomenon of consciousness and personality are not identical to the ontological person. Rather, they are just accidental manifestation of the true ontological self of the human being. In some other cases, a human person or human being may have not developed a personality or consciousness (like the so called anencephalic babies), but the individual is fully a human person ontologically hence must never be violated. Hence, there is a difference between the concept personality and person.<br /><br />In the same way, Christ have a human personality, subjectivity, and or consciousness, but he is one divine person. <br /><br />Human consciousness follows from the human intellect and human will of Christ. Take note that when the scholastic speak of human will of Christ, they were referring to this will as both the rational will and the appetitive will. As a rational will, this human will of Christ has possessed a human autonomy or freedom. As an appetitive will, this will has motions directed to the good objectified by the human intellect of Christ and proposed to the will to be pursued. This demonstrates that Christ has a human subjectivity. There is inner personal dynamism in the human nature of Christ – his human nature is not merely an instrument to be directed by His Divine person.<br /><br />Christ has human freedom. And this freedom, as already said above is the freedom of the rational will and not only of the appetitive will. As such, it falls on his intellect. This means again an autonomous human consciousness. Christ’s soul is a free soul. <br /><br />Regarding attribution of Christ’ actions to the Logos, I can’t see any problem even if we admit a human consciousness or subjectivity in Christ. <br /><br />In the garden of Gethsemane, Christ said, “Father, not my will but yours be done”. He was referring to his human will, and the Father’s will is in fact his own divine will also. Christ, the Father, and the Holy Spirit have only numerically one will.<br /><br />Finally, father, I would like to conclude (have to correct the misleading “two personalities”) that Christ has only one personality, the human personality. And God has only one identical personality, the single personality of the Divine Trinity.<br /><br />If we are allowed to speak of Christ as having two personalities, then to be more accurate, the first personality is his human personality, and the second is the Divine personality which is also the personality of the Father and the HS. The three Divine Persons have only one identical personality.<br /><br />God Bless Father,<br /><br />RedR. de la Rosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17077504043844967795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578980753063154388.post-19109809898487582722011-05-28T03:53:27.050-07:002011-05-28T03:53:27.050-07:00(2 of 3)
If you are familiar with the psychoanalyt...(2 of 3)<br />If you are familiar with the psychoanalytic theory of personality development which has its origin from the empiricism of David Hume, you will recognize the difference. <br /><br />Hence, even if theologians speak of two personalities, they are not denying the traditional dogma of the single being of Christ. Christ is only one being. He has only one act of being (esse). <br /><br />Hence, Christ is one person but has two personalities. In fact, strictly speaking, Christ has only one personality (a human personality) because the divine personality cannot even be considered a personality in psychological terms. <br /><br />If the divine personality of Christ can be considered as a personality the way we use it to Christ' human personality, then that would make the Trinity in three personalities. <br /><br />But the Trinity is not in three personalities. They are three persons but not three personalities. If we accept that the Trinity are three personalities then we fall into the ancient heresy of Trinitarianism which many modern Christian sects hold. Because of the lack of philosophical speculations among protestant churches especially, the evangelicals, they think (those who are trinitarian Christians) that the Trinity are three persons = personalities. Their Trinitarian understanding is actually a heresy condemned by the Church long time ago, namely, Trinitarianism. The interpreted the concept of three persons along the modern understanding of the concept of personality.<br /><br />Hence, i find it wrong that you identify the concept person with personality. I don’t agree that when theologians speak of two personalities in Christ, they mean two persons. Because when these same theologians speak of three persons in the Trinity, they don't speak of three personalities in the Trinity. The Trinity is only one being; there is only one God. There is only one divine essence, divinity, divine substance. From these, there is only one divine will and divine intellect. The Trinity, though in three persons, have no distinct will and intellect possessed by each of the three. The Trinity is numerically one God, one Will, and one Intellect.<br /><br />Hence, two personalities in Christ does not mean two persons since the two concepts are different, just as three persons in the Trinity does not mean three personalities.R. de la Rosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17077504043844967795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578980753063154388.post-83553098818011470382011-05-28T03:52:39.819-07:002011-05-28T03:52:39.819-07:00hi father,

I can remember that I was the first one who pointed this out. Nonetheless, i am thankful that you made this as a separate topic.<br /><br />Sorry father, I became busy with my first book. It’s about ethics or moral philosophy. We are not yet finished with the topic on stealing. I intend to make a reply to your last comment. I'll go back to that topic later, hopefully.<br /><br />Father, when I read your article, i can easily perceive your insufficiency in terms of your knowledge regarding this topic. That would not mean that I am saying that I am more knowledgeable than you regarding this topic at this point of time. Maybe I can say that four to five years ago. The reason is that I have forgotten too much already of what I have read regarding theology particularly on this topic. <br /><br />How i wish I could get hold of that (Christology) book which I read years ago inside the seminary which discussed this topic. I even forgot the title of the book. :)<br /><br />Going back to your article. These are the things that I wish to point out. When theologians speak of the two personalities of Christ, they are not referring to two persons. The theological concept of person which was used in scholastic terminologies is quite different from the modern concept of personality in psychology. If you can remember, when I used the term personality, I qualified it as phenomenological and psychological.R. de la Rosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17077504043844967795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578980753063154388.post-326085566492871202011-05-27T20:24:30.239-07:002011-05-27T20:24:30.239-07:00Alfred (Flamen),

You asked are there two “I’s” in Jesus, thus opening a new dimension to the discussion. You hardly mentioned it except to say in passing that some “modern(ist)” (modernist is a derogatory term) theologians held such a theory. Certainly Cardinal Walter Kasper is not a “modernist” nor was the renowned theologian Emile Mersch who wrote in his Theology of the Mystical Body “According as we understand the word in one or other of these senses, we may say that one or several consciousnesses, one or several egos, are found in Christ. Since Christ is but one person, there is in Him only one consciousness, one ego, one subject that is the point of departure of all His acts and is the ultimate terminus of attribution. Consequently there is only one who is conscious in Christ. But since this one who is conscious has two natures and two intellects, He has also two powers of saying "I," and in this sense He has a twofold consciousness. Each of these powers forms in Him a notion, or the equivalent of a notion, representing the "I," and thus Christ has two ways of expressing "I" or two expressions of consciousness.” Thus we can speak of two personalities in Jesus, the psychological personality and the ontological personality (the great Thomistic commentator Garrigou-Lagrange, for one, used this latter term).<br />“On the basis of a modern, relational concept of personality, Kasper holds that Jesus is both a human and a divine person, that is, a human person whose transcendental openness is definitively determined by his oneness with the person of the divine Logos.” In a review of Kasper’s book Jesus the Christ by Avery Dulles in 1977.

I'm not entirely sure you intend to claim that Christ only has one will, but such a claim would run counter to Constantinople III, which declared that Christ has two wills, one human and one divine. This does not necessarily take away from your argument that Christ has one 'personality.' The debate, as I understand it to have taken place in those centuries, hinged on whether the will was an attribute of person or of nature. The orthodox position regards the will as an attribute of nature, and so Christ has two wills without needing to have two 'persons.' Perhaps these modern theologians that you mention in your original post are falling into the trap of attributing the will to personhood/personality?<br />In Christ,<br />RobPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578980753063154388.post-547292461901998272011-05-23T14:40:11.310-07:002011-05-23T14:40:11.310-07:00Mark of the V.,

Otherwise, it is correct to refer to him as Cardinal Kasper.<br />ALFREDAlfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03509419398798912595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578980753063154388.post-40318566475866073262011-05-23T06:36:58.884-07:002011-05-23T06:36:58.884-07:00Kudos, Father. That was excellent.
I have to writ...Kudos, Father. That was excellent.<br /><br />I have to write that I am a bit tired of hearing Jesus spoken about as having been subject to the same temptations as we were when it comes to, say, sexual temptations.<br /><br />He clearly was not but I think a source of the confusion is when men think that the Human Nature of the Divine Person is the same as our Human Nature - a fallen one.<br /><br />But, Jesus did not taken on a fallen Human Nature.<br /><br />I think of Jesus taking on a Human Nature like Adam's prior to the Fall.Mick Jagger Gathers No Mosquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12879499915093940176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578980753063154388.post-58605620425064108432011-05-23T02:57:24.618-07:002011-05-23T02:57:24.618-07:00I am not sure what personality means for the moder...I am not sure what personality means for the moderns.Clearly, there is only one person in Christ, but there are two natures.<br />This means that Christ has a human intellect and a human will, and the actions can proceed from them. of course, such actions will be in conformity with the divine will, but they are distinct.<br />We must be careful that in denying two persons in Christ, we do not deny what rightly pertains to His human nature.There are many passages in the Gospels that show us this difference.<br />Tragos716Warren J.

As I said in the article ... the...Alfred (Flamen), <br />As I said in the article ... the Church has not yet pronounced on this issue. I have simply given the reasons why I think it would be better to speak of one personality in Christ and one "I".<br /><br />If you think there are two "I"s and two personalities, how do you reconcile verses like the one I have pointed to above?: "I am the way" (according to his humanity) "and the truth and the life" (according to his divinity).<br />Here we have Christ speaking in one "I" of himself as God (the Truth and Life) and as Man (the Way).<br /><br />Also, "hypostasis" has never ever been translated as "personality" ... I have no idea where you are getting that from. It has been received as "person", not "personality" ... the whole idea of "personality" is a modern concept and is quite absent from the writings of the Fathers of the Church.<br />Truly, I think you would benefit from reading more of the Fathers ... Walter Cardinal Kasper himself would agree with this (i.e. a return to the Fathers), I am sure. [btw, the correct citation is not "Cardinal Walter Kasper", but "Walter Cardinal Kasper"]<br /><br />Finally, "Sempiternus Rex Christus" of Pius XII makes no mention of "personality" ... you are correct, we are allowed to study the psychology of Jesus. I have done just that in the article ... and I have argued that there is only one divine personality in Christ, and only one divine "I".<br />You cannot claim I am ignoring psychology, just because you disagree with me.Father Ryan Erlenbushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07557817305024750902noreply@blogger.com
