Divine Love and Wisdom (Rogers) n. 27

27. Is there anyone possessed of sound reason who does not perceive that the Divine is not divisible, and that more than one infinite being, uncreated, omnipotent and God, is not possible? If someone lacking in reason should say that more than one infinite being, uncreated, omnipotent and God, is possible, provided they are of one and the same essence, and that by virtue of this they constitute one infinite being, uncreated, omnipotent and God, is not that same one essence equivalent to one identity? And the same one identity cannot be possessed by more than one being. If someone should say that the one infinite being exists from the other, then the one that exists from the other is not God in Himself, and yet God in Himself is God from whom springs all else (see no. 16 above).
