Summary/Abstract: The article reacts to a document by the International Theological Commission on Trinitarian monotheism and its opposition to violence. The author points out numerous imperfections in methodology and facts within the document. The article criticizes the imperfections and consequently attempts to supply deficiencies. The core of the article is an analysis of the notion that three divine persons subsist in one divine nature. The author demonstrates certain serious problems which are hidden within this notion, while presenting W. Kasper’s and M. Bordoni’s critical approach to P. Schoonenberg’s views from the 1960s and 1970s. The article contains in summary not only clarifications of certain aspects of the theological reflection concerning the unity of humanity, but also an appeal to colleagues to join up with the letter addressed to the International Theological Commission which would express the view of Czech theologians regarding the last achievement of the Commission.
