IV. Kemanusiaan Putera Allah
470. Karena dalam inkarnasi, dalam persatuan yang penuh rahasia ini, "kodrat manusia disambut, bukannya dienyahkan" (GS 22, 2), Gereja harus berusaha sepanjang sejarah, supaya mengakui kenyataan penuh dari jiwa Kristus yang manusiawi, dengan kegiatan akal budi dan kehendak-Nya, demikian pula dari tubuh manusiawi-Nya. Tetapi pada waktu yang sama, ia juga harus memperingatkan bahwa kodrat manusiawi Kristus termasuk Pribadi Putra Allah yang ilahi, oleh-Nya ia diterima. Segala sesuatu yang Kristus ada dan lakukan dalam pribadi-Nya, ada dan dilakukan oleh satu "Pribadi dari Tritunggal". Dengan demikian, Putera Allah menyampaikan cara ada-Nya sendiri dalam Tritunggal kepada kodrat manusiawi-Nya. Baik dalam jiwa-Nya maupun dalam tubuh-Nya, Kristus menyatakan kehidupan Tritunggal Maha Kudus secara manusiawi4:
"Sebab Dia, Putera Allah, dalam penjelmaan-Nya dengan cara tertentu telah menyatukan Diri dengan setiap orang. Ia telah bekerja memakai tangan manusiawi, Ia berpikir memakai akal budi manusiawi, Ia bertindak atas kehendak manusiawi, Ia mengasihi dengan hati manusiawi. Ia telah lahir dari Perawan Maria, sungguh menjadi salah seorang di antara kita, dalam segalanya sama seperti kita, kecuali dalam hal dosa" (GS 22, 2).
Jiwa manusia dan pengetahuan manusiawi Kristus
471. Apolinarius dari Laodisea berpendapat, dalam Kristus Sabda menggantikan jiwa atau roh. Melawan kekeliruan ini Gereja mengakui bahwa Putera abadi juga menerima jiwa manusiawi yang berakal budi.5
472. Jiwa manusiawi ini, yang diterima Putera Allah, benar-benar dilengkapi dengan kemampuan untuk mengetahui secara manusiawi. Kemampuan ini sebenarnya tidak mungkin tanpa batas: ia bertindak dalam kondisi historis keberadaannya dalam ruang dan waktu. Karena itu, Putera Allah, ketika Ia menjadi manusia, hendak bertambah pula "dalam kebijaksanaan dan usia dan rahmat" (Luk 2:52). Ia hendak menanyakan apa yangseorang manusia harus belajar dari pengalaman.1 Dan ini sesuai dengan kenyataan bahwa dengan sukarela Ia mengambil "rupa seorang hamba" (Flp 2:7).
473. Tetapi pada waktu yang sama, dalam pengetahuan manusiawi yang sesungguhnya dari Putera Allah, nyata pula kehidupan ilahi pribadi-Nya.2 "Kodrat manusiawi Putera Allah mengenal dan menyatakan dalam diri-Nya - bukan dari diri sendiri, melainkan berdasarkan hubungan-Nya dengan Sabda - segala sesuatu, yang dimiliki Allah" (Maksimus Pengaku Iman, qu. dub. 66). Itu berlaku pada tempat pertama mengenai pengetahuan langsung dan batin, yang Putera Allah terjelma miliki tentang Bapa-Nya.3 Dalam pengetahuan manusiawi-Nya Putera juga menunjukkan pengetahuan ilahi tentang pikiran hati manusia yang rahasia.4
474. Karena Kristus dalam pribadi Sabda terjelma dipersatukan dengan kebijaksanaan ilahi, maka pengetahuan manusiawi-Nya mengetahui sepenuhnya keputusan-keputusan abadi, yang untuk menyingkapkannya Ia telah datang.5 Mengenai apa, yang dalam hubungan ini Ia akui bahwa Ia tidak tahu,6 Ia jelaskan pada tempat lain bahwa Ia tidak ditugaskan untuk menyingkapkan-Nya.7

IV. HOW IS THE SON OF GOD MAN?
470 Because "human nature was assumed, not absorbed", in the mysterious union of the Incarnation, the Church was led over the course of centuries to confess the full reality of Christ's human soul, with its operations of intellect and will, and of his human body. In parallel fashion, she had to recall on each occasion that Christ's human nature belongs, as his own, to the divine person of the Son of God, who assumed it. Everything that Christ is and does in this nature derives from "one of the Trinity". The Son of God therefore communicates to his humanity his own personal mode of existence in the Trinity. In his soul as in his body, Christ thus expresses humanly the divine ways of the Trinity:
The Son of God... worked with human hands; he thought with a human mind. He acted with a human will, and with a human heart he loved. Born of the Virgin Mary, he has truly been made one of us, like to us in all things except sin.
Christ's soul and his human knowledge
471 Apollinarius of Laodicaea asserted that in Christ the divine Word had replaced the soul or spirit. Against this error the Church confessed that the eternal Son also assumed a rational, human soul.
472 This human soul that the Son of God assumed is endowed with a true human knowledge. As such, this knowledge could not in itself be unlimited: it was exercised in the historical conditions of his existence in space and time. This is why the Son of God could, when he became man, "increase in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and man", and would even have to inquire for himself about what one in the human condition can learn only from experience. This corresponded to the reality of his voluntary emptying of himself, taking "the form of a slave".
473 But at the same time, this truly human knowledge of God's Son expressed the divine life of his person. "The human nature of God's Son, not by itself but by its union with the Word, knew and showed forth in itself everything that pertains to God." Such is first of all the case with the intimate and immediate knowledge that the Son of God made man has of his Father. The Son in his human knowledge also showed the divine penetration he had into the secret thoughts of human hearts.
474 By its union to the divine wisdom in the person of the Word incarnate, Christ enjoyed in his human knowledge the fullness of understanding of the eternal plans he had come to reveal. What he admitted to not knowing in this area, he elsewhere declared himself not sent to reveal.
Christ's human will
475 Similarly, at the sixth ecumenical council, Constantinople III in 681, the Church confessed that Christ possesses two wills and two natural operations, divine and human. They are not opposed to each other, but cooperate in such a way that the Word made flesh willed humanly in obedience to his Father all that he had decided divinely with the Father and the Holy Spirit for our salvation. Christ's human will "does not resist or oppose but rather submits to his divine and almighty will."
Christ's true body
476 Since the Word became flesh in assuming a true humanity, Christ's body was finite. Therefore the human face of Jesus can be portrayed; at the seventh ecumenical council (Nicaea II in 787) the Church recognized its representation in holy images to be legitimate.
477 At the same time the Church has always acknowledged that in the body of Jesus "we see our God made visible and so are caught up in love of the God we cannot see." The individual characteristics of Christ's body express the divine person of God's Son. He has made the features of his human body his own, to the point that they can be venerated when portrayed in a holy image, for the believer "who venerates the icon is venerating in it the person of the one depicted".
The heart of the Incarnate Word
478 Jesus knew and loved us each and all during his life, his agony and his Passion, and gave himself up for each one of us: "The Son of God... loved me and gave himself for me." He has loved us all with a human heart. For this reason, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, pierced by our sins and for our salvation, "is quite rightly considered the chief sign and symbol of that... love with which the divine Redeemer continually loves the eternal Father and all human beings" without exception.
