For example, in order to be in accordance with his theory of psyche movement toward completion in four stages (made up of pairs of opposites), he nonchalantly converts the Trinitarian structure in a Quaternity by including the feminine or evil side of the God (Jung 1973b).

The mystery of the Trinity inserts us into the Son in whom we have been adopted, not consecrating us in the guise of the "fourth person of the Trinity" or of "quaternity," which the famous Fourth Lateran Council rightly refused (1215), but making of our humanity that which, first of all, through the Word made flesh, is assumed, in order to become, through the Father and under the power of the Spirit, transformed.
