At two ecumenical councils, Nicea I in 325 and Constantinople I in 381, the church at large defined the Trinity in the way now so familiar to us from the Nicene Creed. This exemplifies development of doctrine at its best. The Bible may not use the word 'Trinity', but trinitarian theology does not go against the Bible. On the contrary, Catholics believe that trinitarianism has carefully developed a biblical teaching for later generations.<sup id="cite_ref-Kelly_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Kelly-3"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Questions_about_co-equal_deity_of_Jesus">Questions about co-equal deity of Jesus</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Nontrinitarianism&amp;action=edit&amp;section=8" title="Edit section: Questions about co-equal deity of Jesus"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>American Catholic priest and Trinitarian, R.E.
