CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Holy Ghost |
 | | Among the apologists, Athenagoras mentions the Holy Ghost along with, and on the same plane as, the Father and the Son. |
 | | This impenitence is against the Holy Ghost, in the sense that it frustrates and is absolutely opposed to the remission of sins, and this remission is appropriated to the Holy Ghost, the mutual love of the Father and the Son. |
 | | Thomas, the sin against the Holy Ghost is remissable -- not absolutely and always, but inasmuch as (considered in itself) it has not the claims and extenuating circumstance, inclining towards a pardon, that might be alleged in the case of sins of weakness and ignorance. |
