Yes. There are what are called certain attributions of this kind to which these acts or sources of act give rise according to the distinctive character of this or of that person: for this reason by way of appropriation we attribute power to the Father, for instance, wisdom to the Son, and goodness to the Holy Ghost, although these belong equally to all three (XXXIX. 7, 8; XLV. 6).
When therefore we speak of God in His relation to the world, do we always imply that it is God as one in nature and as three in person that acts?
Yes, except when we speak of the person of God the Son in the mystery of the Incarnation (XLV. 6).

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
