ʻOku meimei ko e ngaahi siasi kotoa pē ʻi he Puleʻanga-Haʻa-Kalisitiané ʻoku nau akoʻi ko e ʻOtuá ko e Tolu-tahaʻi-ʻotua. ʻOku ui ʻe he The Catholic Encyclopedia ʻa e akonaki ʻo e Tolu-tahaʻi-ʻotuá ko e “tefitoʻi tokāteline ʻo e lotu Kalisitiané,” ʻo ne fakamatalaʻi ia ʻi he founga ko ení:

Ko ia aí, ʻoku fakamatala ʻe he Tui ʻa ʻAfenesiesi (Athanasian Creed): ‘ko e Tamaí ko e ʻOtua, ko e ʻAló ko e ʻOtua, pea ko e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ko e ʻOtua, ka neongo ia ʻoku ʻikai ko ha ʻOtua ʻe toko tolu ka ko e ʻOtua pē ʻe toko taha.’ . . .

ʻOku meimei tatau ʻa e fakamatala ʻa e The Baptist Encyclopædia. ʻOkú ne pehē:

Naʻe Fakahā ʻa e Talatuki ki he Kau Fakafepakí
ʻI he 325 T.S., ko ha kosilio ʻa e kau pīsope ʻi Nisea ʻi ʻĒsia Minu naʻa nau faʻu ai ʻa e tui ʻo fakahā ko e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá ko e “ʻOtua moʻoni” ʻo hangē tofu pē ko e Tamaí ko e “ʻOtua moʻoni.” Naʻe pehē ʻe he konga ʻo e fakamatala ʻo e tui ko iá:
“Ka ko kinautolu ʻoku nau pehē, Naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e [taimi] ʻa ia naʻe ʻikai ai ʻa e [ʻAlo], pea, Ki muʻa ke fanauʻi naʻe ʻikai te Ne ʻi ai, pea naʻá Ne hoko mai mei he ʻatānoá, pe ʻoku nau pehē ko e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻoku fakamavaheʻi ia, pe naʻe fakatupu ia, pe ʻe lava ke taufetongi pe liliu ia, ʻoku talatukiʻi ʻe he Siasi Katolika ʻa e faʻahinga peheé.”3
Ko ia naʻe tuku ki he malaʻia taʻengata ha tokotaha naʻe tui ko e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtua naʻe ʻikai ke ʻi ai taʻengata mo e Tamaí pe ko e ʻAlo naʻe fakatupu. ʻE lava ke fakakaukau atu ha tokotaha ki he tenge ke tui ki he meʻá ni ne hoko ki he tokolahi ʻo e kakai lāuvale naʻe tui.

Naʻe kau ki he fakamatala naʻe ui ko e Tohi ʻo Tamasusí ʻa e ngaahi fakamatala ko ʻeni:
“Kapau ʻoku fakaʻikaiʻi ʻe ha tokotaha ko e Tamaí ʻoku taʻengata, ko e ʻAló ʻoku taʻengata, pea ko e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ʻoku taʻengata: ko ha tokotaha ia ʻoku tafoki mei he tuí.”
