pretty much nobody does, scholars are still out there spending tons of time analyzing the trinity. Check the catholic chatechism if you'd like to see what the church thinks of the subject

Basically it's that God doesn't operate in our limited understanding and that it doesn't need to make sense to us for God to be three at once, just like how God is Jesus and Jesus is God but Jesus is also God's son.

I belong to a family which believes the clergy should be shot and considering our family history I do not disagree with them. There no way in hell I would go to a church; sorry, no. Pleace give me a different good reason to read something with "holy" written over the cover and explain why it should be that book.
