<p> | <p> A heretical system, begun about the 2century, which so distorts the monarchy ([[Monarchia]] ) of God as to deny the distinction of [[Persons]] in the Trinity. It takes the three following forms: </p> <p> (1) Crass [[Monarchianism]] absolutely denies any distinction of Persons in the [[Trinity]] and concludes naturally that the Father became incarnate and died on the cross. Hence the name of Patripassians. </p> <p> (2) Modalist Monarchianism, championed by [[Sabellius]] c.50,recognized a distinction in the Trinity, not of Persons but of energies or modes. The [[Deity]] is one Person but manifests Itself under different modes; in creation as the Father, in redemption as the Son, in sanctification as the [[Holy]] Ghost. Sabellius was condemned by [[Pope]] Callistus. </p> <p> (3) Subordinationism, which admits a real and true distinction of Persons in the Trinity but denies equality between them. </p> | ||
