For it should be noted that the Church Fathers almost always spoke of this mystery as an incomprehensible mystery, that they did not philosophize in an attempt to explain it, that for the most pan they contented themselves with rather inexact comparisons more appropriate to making the dogma known than to giving an explanation of it that would satisfy the mind, and that therefore tradition is on the side of those who do not philosophize about this mystery and who subordinate their mind to faith, without uselessly involving themselves in these enormously difficult questions.
