The son is continually from the father
The holy spirit is the love that unites them
The act of the father begetting the son pours love outward to creation
The son came to earth to redeem humans , he came from the father to share the fathers love
The holy spirit guides believers towards the father to complete the work of Jesus
Once redemption has been complete all things will be brought back to God
The authority of the magisterium
The apostles would go round to different areas appointing someone in each to spread the word . Eventually these people would be known as bishops.
Since Peters death there has been an unbroken succession of popes . The pope and bishops form the magisterium as they are descendants of Jesus’ closest friends
