Description
Summary:Abstract : Since the time of the Congregations de auxiliis (1598-1607), two factions were confronting each other among catholic theologians: on one side, the Jesuits defended the Molinist thesis of a sufficient grace conferred on everyone and made efficacious simply by the consent of free will; on the other side, the Dominicans, defenders of a strict Thomism, accused their opponents of Semi-Pelagianism and lent support to the thesis of the necessity for a grace efficacious in itself over and above the succour provided by sufficient grace. The Thomists claimed to respect Augustine's teaching to the letter. The present article aims at showing how the Salmanticenses, whose Cursus theologicus was the perfect expression of the Thomist theology on grace and free will, and mostly Father Antonio de la Madre de Dios (1583-1637) defended strongly augustinian positions against the Molinist thesis of sufficient grace made efficacious by the consent of free will in the context of discussions on future contingents.
