Grace (Theology)
_ 832 Hom. in Evang._, 29: “_Fortasse unusquisque apud semetipsum dicat:
Ego iam credidi, salvus ero. Verum dicit, si fidem operibus tenet.
Vera etenim fides est, quae in hoc quod verbis dicit moribus non
contradicit._” As to the sense in which some of the Fathers speak of
faith as the only thing that can save men, cfr. Bellarmine _De
Iustificat._, I, 26.
833 Cfr. St. Thomas Aquinas, _Summa Theol._, 1a 2ae, qu. 113, art. 5:
“_Iustificatio impii est quidam motus, quo humana mens movetur a Deo
a statu peccati in statum iustitiae.... Unde oportet quod mens
humana, dum iustificatur, per motum liberi arbitrii recedat a
peccato et accedat ad iustitiam. Recessus autem et accessus in motu
liberi arbitru accipitur secundum detestationem et desiderium....
Oportet igitur quod in iustificatione impii sit motus liberi
arbitrii duplex: unus quo per desiderium tendat in Dei iustitiam, et
alius quo detestetur peccatum._”
_ 834 De Libertate Voluntatis Humanae_, Leipzig 1555.
835 “_Klotz-, Stock- und Stein-theorie._”
836 “_Das Torgische Buch_,” A. D. 1576.
837 “_Articulus stantis et cadentis ecclesiae._” Cfr. Newman, _Lectures
on Justification_, p. 113.
_ 838 Geschichte der protestantischen Theologie_, p. 583, München 1867.
_ 839 Die Gnadenlehre und die stille Reformation_, Christiania 1894. Not
long after writing this book Dr. Krogh-Tonning became a Catholic.
840 How Luther came to adopt the _sola fides_ theory is exhaustively
explained by H. Grisar, S. J., _Luther_, Vol. I, Freiburg 1911;
English tr., Vols. I and II, London 1913. Cfr. also F. Hettinger,
_Die Krisis des Christentums_, pp. 72 sqq., Freiburg 1881.
841 Cfr. Pohle, art. on “Tradition” in Herder’s _Kirchenlexikon_, 2nd
ed., Vol. XI, 1933 sqq., Freiburg 1899.
842 “_Pecca fortiter, crede fortius._” Cfr. Möhler, _Symbolism_ (English
tr., p. 130).
843 Cfr. Heinrich-Gutberlet, _Dogmatische Theologie_, Vol. VIII, §455,
Mainz 1899. The “orthodox” Lutheran teaching is strongly stated by
the famous convert Dr. Edw. Preuss in his work, still regarded as a
classic by “orthodox” Lutherans, _Die Rechtfertigung des Sünders vor
Gott_, Berlin 1868.
844 Sess. VI, cap. 8.
845 Sess. VI, cap. 6.
846 Sess. VI, cap. 8: “_Fides est humanae salutis initium, fundamentum
et radix omnis iustificationis._” (Denzinger-Bannwart, n. 801.)
_ 847 V. supra_, pp. 100 sq.
