Textausschnitt: QUESTION 38
Can several real relations be internal to one and the same absolute? Are they really distinct from the absolute? Are they really distinct from one another?
As to the first question

733b It is obvious from examples that there can be several internal real relations of one and the same absolute. (Fs)

For the soul is really related to the body as well as to vital, sentient, and intellectual operations; and these relations are internal, for they are in the very definitions of soul. (Fs)

Also, action and passion are one and the same act, differing by relation in that action is the act of this as from this, while passion is the act of this as in this. See In III Phys., lect 5; Summa theologiae, 1, q. 28, a. 3, ad im. Further, since every effect produced by a creature is necessarily really from the agent and really in the patient, these relations are both real and internal to the effect. (Fs)

Besides, the trinitarian relations are both real and internal to God, since whatever is in God also exists necessarily. (Fs)
