Does the Catholic Church teach that belief in the possibility of more than 3 persons in God is heresy?
score:5
Accepted answer
Yes, they be anathema who holdeth that idea:
If anyone shall not confess that the nature or essence of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost is one, as also the force and the power; [if anyone does not confess] a consubstantial Trinity, one Godhead to be worshipped in three subsistences or Persons: let him be anathema. For there is but one God even the Father of whom are all things, and one Lord Jesus Christ through whom are all things, and one Holy Spirit in whom are all things.
So, the number is three, not more or less.
