This question contains five articles: 1. whether there
is a procession in God; 2. whether any procession in
God can be called generation, and what is the
intellectual manner of this generation; 3. whether
besides generation another procession is found in God;
4. whether this other procession can be called generation
(the answer will be in the negative); 5. whether there
are more than two processions in God.
In general these five articles are simple explanations of
the dogma by a conceptual analysis of the terms of the
revealed propositions before any new truths are deduced,
that is, before any theological conclusions are drawn.
Some students have tried to see in these treatises an
illative process where there is only an explicative process
which is merely the progressive understanding of one and
the same revealed truth.
