- New Cath. Ency.: v. 6, p. 558(God: Entitative attributes) v. 13, p. 229 (Simplicity of God. Simplicity refers to fact that God is absolutely uncompounded of anything other than himself; he is not a combination of substance and accident, act and potentiality, even essence and existence or being and becoming. He simply is; he is actus purus; therefore, absolutely simple and absolutely one.)
Wikipedia description:
In classical theism, the doctrine of divine simplicity (also known as absolute divine simplicity) states that God is simple in that he is a single, unified entity with no distinction between his attributes. His essence is identical with his existence; that is to say, his essence is simply to exist, which makes Him fundamentally distinct from all other entities.
