At least two of Barth's main claims are incompatible with basic commitments of Catholic theology, though in neither case does seeing the problem in Barth depend on accepting uniquely Catholic beliefs. If carried through consistently (which Barth does not do) his claim that God has his being in his act of revelation proves incompatible with the insistence of Nicene trinitarianism that three distinct persons are one God, and that one divine person contingently became flesh as a free gift for our salvation. In soteriology, Barth's doctrine of election proves incompatible with the belief that we are participants in our own salvation, and not merely spectators of it
