Man was created in the image of God, and from the beginning he was a pair, that is, a man and a woman. Just as the triune God was not singular, neither was man. The doctrine of the Holy Trinity, expressed in unity in essence and trinity in persons, is a fundamental truth that also expresses the truth of man. Therefore, man was created from the beginning as a pair, that is, a man and a woman.

The truth of salvation in Christ is not a rigid letter that can be preserved in a book. It is a treasure that the Lord gave to the apostles so that their union would be the sure guarantee of their possession of the truth of salvation. The apostles passed this treasure on to the bishops so that they might complete the mission, in their union with the Church - the Body of Christ, where the Holy Spirit works. In doing so, they do not express their own opinion, but the will of the Holy Spirit who dwells in the Church.
