Doesn't matter how y'all want to fight over one picture, Catholic theology has 3 persons in the Trinity and the Holy Spirit (the "white thing" you called Him)hovering nearby or out of the picture altogether as Mary is now "the Advocate".
Fjords? I never called Mary a pet rabbit.

YOU POSTED THE PICTURE!
And wrote "no Holy Spirit in sight"
Anyone know of a good wysiwyg html editor? I'm tired of doing this manually... and I sense an oncoming need to really go nuts.

Do note that "person" is a poor translation. It is more apter to say "personas" or hypostases (Personhood in the Trinity does not match the common Western understanding of "person" as used in the English languageit does not imply an "individual, self-actualized center of free will and conscious activity" Each hypostases is understood as having the one identical essence or nature, not merely similar natures.)
these three hypostases consistute the Τριάς

The Holy Trinity, c. 1300 - 1350. English or Spanish. Alabaster. National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.
The normal depiction of the Trinity is an old man, Christ on the Cross and the Holy SPirit as a dove --> do you deny this historical depiction? you see the dove between the head of the Father and Christ on the Crucifix?
