According to Catholic faith and theology, once God decreed to save mankind, redemption would be by the work of God-made-man. > For us men and for our salvation, he came down from heaven: > [...] and became man. For our sake he was > crucified. - **The Nicene Creed** . And > But God decided that man should be shown mercy and be pardoned. His > mercy was to be above all His works; and He also decreed that this > mercy and pardon were to be granted because of the full satisfaction > of justice by adequate atonement. Hence **it became necessary that One > of the Trinity assume created nature and in that nature offer > reparation to God for man's great sin**. - Library: The theology of > the Precious Blood | Catholic Culture . Within Catholicism is there an explanation of why it was the Son and not the Father or the Holy Spirit *who for us men and our salvation became man and was crucified*?
