"Are those items supposed to further elaborate of the three sources?"

Yes.

"If so, are you saying that the combination of the three form a rational basis for faith in a Creator?"

I am saying that the three are present for persons who are analysing their faith and making sense of it. The three do not necessarily cause one to believe. It is a way for rational people to continue to examine their lives and to avoid extremism. As I pointed out in an earlier post, you can understand the rationality of a religious basis and how it would make sense to believe it without believing it. I understand the basis for the trinity of Catholicism. I don't believe that Jesus is God. I believe nearly everything else said about him. Since I believe he recieved power from God that makes the point mute for me. I don't believe that the Holy Ghost is a being at all. I believe that the spirit of righteousness can pass through us, is apparent in the universe, can be strongly felt, and is from or attributed to God. If some people want to say that is God in ghost form I see the rationality, and it is a distinction I am not concerned enough about to debate as a belief issue.
