Best said as the following: The Trinity is one.
We, as Catholics, do not believe in three separate gods (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). We believe in one God who is three persons: “consubstantial Trinity”. Consubstantial: having same substance.
Each divine person is distinct from the other in their relations of origin: God, Son of God, and Spirit of God. Each divine person is also relative to one another. The divine unity is not divided because of the three persons, but a distinct communion of three persons who individually relate to each other to make one God. “Because of that Unity the Father is wholly in the Son and wholly in the Holy Spirit; the Son is wholly in the Father and wholly in the Holy Spirit; the Holy Spirit is wholly in the Father and wholly in the Son.” (Council of Florence 1442)
