Theological Theses · §1894 · Louis Le Blanc de Beaulieu

Among recent writers Louis of Dole, a Capuchin, follows Durandus (as reported by Rutherford)

Among more recent writers, a certain Louis of Dole, of the Capuchin order, whose book appeared with many approvals from theologians, comes over to Durandus's view.

He says that God's concurring with man in action amounts to nothing more than creating free choice, in natural acts, or, in supernatural acts, giving a power or habit of acting by which the will itself does the entire work in every supernatural act, without any further immediate concurrence of God actually advancing the action. His words are reported in this form by Samuel Rutherford, professor of theology at the University of St Andrews, in his Scholastic Disputation on Divine Providence, chapter 25.

Latin

II. Inter recentiores vero Ludovicus quidam a Dola ex ordine Capucinorum, cujus liber cum multis Doctorum approbationibus in lucem editus est, ad illam Durandi sententiam accedit. Dicit enim, Deum cum homine in agendo concurrere nihil aliud esse quam Vel liberum arbitrium creare, ut in actibus naturalibus, Vel dare in supernaturalibus potentiam, seu habitum agendi, per quam ipsa Voluntas totum faciat in omni actu supernaturali, absque ullo alio Dei concursu immediato actionem actu promovente. Prout hujus Viri Verba referuntur a Samuele Retorforti Theologiae Professore in Academia Andreapolitana Disputatione Scholastica de divina providentia cap. 25.
