Grace, Actual and Habitual: A Dogmatic Treatise
Pohle, Joseph
Grace (Theology)
654 Sess. VI, can. 17: “_Si quis iustificationis gratiam nonnisi
praedestinatis ad vitam contingere dixerit, reliquos vero omnes qui
vocantur, vocari quidem, sed gratiam non accipere, utpote divinâ
potestate praedestinatos ad malum, anathema sit._”
(Denzinger-Bannwart, n. 827.)
_ 655 V. supra_, Art. 1.
_ 656 V. supra_, Art. 2, Thesis II.
657 Cfr. Pohle-Preuss, _God: His Knowability, Essence, and Attributes_,
pp. 251 sqq.
_ 658 V. supra_, pp. 201 sqq.
659 1 Pet. II, 7 sq.: “_Non credentibus autem [Christus] ... lapis
offensionis ... qui offendunt verbo nec credunt, in quo (εἰς δ) et
positi sunt._”
660 “_In hoc positi, i.e. praedestinati sunt, ut non credant._”
661 “And he shall be a sanctification to you. But for a stone of
stumbling and for a rock of offense to the two houses of Israel, for
a snare and a ruin to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.”
662 “And whosoever shall fall on this stone, shall be broken: but on
whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.”
663 Cfr. Oecumen., _in h. l._: “_Ad quod positi sunt, non dicitur, quasi
a Deo ad hoc essent destinati; nulla enim causa perditionis
ministratur ab eo, qui omnes homines vult salvos fieri._”
_ 664 Contr. Iulian._, III, 18, 35: “_Bonus est Deus, iustus est Deus:
potest aliquos sine bonis meritis liberare, quia bonus est; non
potest quemquam sine malis meritis damnare, quia iustus est._”
_ 665 Resp. ad XII Object. Vincent._: “_Voluntate exierunt, voluntate
ceciderunt, et quia praesciti sunt casuri, non sunt praedestinati;
essent autem praedestinati, si essent reversuri et in sanctitate
remansuri, ac per hoc praedestinatio Dei multis est causa standi,
nemini est causa labendi._”
_ 666 Ad Monim._, l. I. Cfr. Petavius, _De Deo_, X, 7 sqq.
_ 667 Clypeus Thomist._, Vol. II, tr. 5, disp. 5, art. 2, n. 23.
668 Cfr. Limbourg, S. J., in the Innsbruck _Zeitschrift für kath.
Theologie_, 1879, pp. 203 sqq.
669 Cfr. Suarez, _De Praedest._, V, 4 sqq.
_ 670 Conc. Trident._, Sess. V, can. 5.
671 Which explains why both theories have the same defenders. _V.
supra_, Art. 3, No. 4.
672 Bañez, Alvarez, Gonet.
673 “_Deus non serio vult, sed vellet salvare etiam reprobos, nisi per
hoc impediretur pulchritudo universi._”
_ 674 V. supra_, Art. 1 and 2.
_ 675 De Praedest._, V, 8, 8: “_Non est in potestate hominis, cum
non-electione seu cum non-praedestinatione aut, quod idem est, cum
reprobatione negativa actu ponere seu componere suam aeternam
salutem._” Cfr. Franzelin, _De Deo Uno_, p. 583, 3rd ed., Rome 1888.
