The Son Is Begotten, Not Made

The Catholic Church teaches that the Son is the eternal Word and perfect Image of the Father, equal to Him in divinity and never created. The language of divine self-knowledge can help explain this eternal generation, but only when it is carefully distinguished from creation, change, and temporal becoming.
