Richard (died 1173), the renowned regular canon and magister of the abbey of St. Victor in Paris, wrote the treatise De Trinitate where he tried to provide the necessary reasons leading to the acknowledgement of the rationality of these articles of faith concerning the domain of the immanent Trinity which transcends the human intellect and the possibility of predication. The fundamental point consists of the concept of love. He develops all his trinitarian theology out of this as well as his interesting and valuable theology of the third person in the Trinity. The Holy Spirit is reflected as an “insurer” of the most supreme love between divine persons, as a Condilectus he presents a completion and the last origin of the communion of love (communio amoris). As an Amor debitus he represents an antipole in opposition “dare–accepisse” to the person of the Father. In this manner, Richard expressed extremely successfully a legitimate alternative to Augustine’s concept of the fundamental relationship in the Trinity (Father–Son). Richard justifies this concept of the Holy Spirit as Donum with “infusio debiti Amoris” which is a mission of the Holy Spirit. However, he does not deal with the question as to whether it is possible to conceive the Holy Spirit as a Gift in the immanent Trinity.

The author of the article presents the role and place of the Holy Spirit in the Church on the basis of Pope Benedict XVI’s homilies, speeches, the Wednesday catecheses and fragments of the adhortation Sacramentum caritatis. The Pope – Joseph Ratzinger – presents the Christcentred image of the Church with its rich pneumatological dimension . The role of the Holy Spirit in the Church is the consequence of His nature, who is He within the Holy Trinity and of the fact that He is sent by Christ, is called the Spirit of Christ, is the Spirit of the Truth that leads to the whole Truth, which is Christ. This aspect does not overshadow the Christ-oriented vision, what is more, makes it lively and present. Christ’s Church is enlivened by the Holy Spirit and should always be directed towards Christ, united to Him and God the Father through the Spirit. Benedict XVI’s teaching, based on the Revelation and Tradition, shows the following dimensions of the Church: apostolic, one but dif erent, holy and common, the Church of prayer, united by the love of the Holy Spirit, missionary, lively, fuli lling man’s desire to live in unity, goodness, respect and cooperation . Hence, the Church of the Spirit cannot be separated from the Church of Christ or stand in its opposition. An important feature of Benedict XVI’s teaching on the relationship between the Holy Spirit and the Church is showing Him as acting in concrete people seen as the members of the Church, always in the perspective of the whole Church..
