Common Roman doctrine now: freedom requires immunity from necessity, at least absolute and natural
The common teaching of the Roman School today, then, is that freedom from compulsion is not enough for freedom of choice. There must also be freedom from necessity, at least from absolute and natural necessity, the kind by which things are fixed by nature on one course and simply cannot act otherwise than they do.
On this point both the more recent Thomists and the Molinists agree.
Latin
XXXVIII. Idcirco Scholae Romanae communis hodie doctrina est, ad libertatem arbitrii non sufficere solam immunitatem a coactione, sed praeterea requiri immunitatem a necessitate, saltem absoluta atque naturali, qua res sunt per naturam ad unum determinatae, & simpliciter non possunt aliter agere quam agunt. Atque in hoc capite conveniunt tam illi qui recentiores Thomistae, quam qui Molinistae vocantur.
