Garrigou-Lagrange’s refutation of Molinism: Step 1: Make up something Molinists don’t believe. Step 2: Argue why it’s absurd. Step 3: Dismiss the whole system. So-called “Sacred Monster of Thomism”.

Famous example of this is found in his favorite God determining or God determined “arguement” where he assumes something no Jesuit believes and argues why it is against divine perfection.

The second half (starting from disp. 28) of Suarez's Disputationes metaphysicae is done up to disputation 40. So far it is +1000 pages.

Fr. Aletino ridiculing the sophistry of Antoine Goudin, the famous Dominican philosopher, who invokes St. Thomas’s authority to defend the Thomistic axiom that act is not limited except by potency, as though the Angelic Doctor’s name alone could replace an actual argument.

"Do you not see that you are assuming, without proof, the very question at issue? In making this initial claim, you are assuming, as though you were doing something else, precisely what we are disputing." - Every Jesuit to Dominicans on essence-existence distinction

Thanks for the shoutout! @WalmartThomist has doubtlessly been instrumental in making the wider scholastic tradition better known among internet circles. Without his work and that of @ViaEximii this platform probably would have never been started!

Suárez gazes upon Christ as he recites the Psalmist’s words: Satiabor cum apparuerit gloria tua I shall be satisfied when Thy glory shall appear. (Psalm 16:15)

“Although Suárez sometimes departs from the Thomists in his interpretation of St. Thomas ... he must be regarded as a genuine Thomist, and the accusation of eclecticism must be rejected, since his synthesis is praised as most firm and his system is regarded as entirely coherent.”

“There is no time for reading. Where do we ask for the books themselves? Where and when do we procure them? From whom do we buy them? For the well-being of our soul, times need to be allotted, hours assigned.” - St. Augustine, Confessions 6, 11, 18.

Replying to @ViaEximii
An example of the sometimes strange entanglement between Calvinists and Bannezians: Gazzaniga. See below ("Kirchenlexikon", vol. 5). The very same Gazzaniga, btw, was closely linked to the intrigues of the Jansenists in Vienna (cf. Winter, "Der Josephinismus u. seine Geschichte")

Jay Dyer has effectively ruined the use of philosophy in Christian apologetics. The phrases “epistemic justification” and “normative authority” have convinced pseuds that they don’t need to read Aristotle or Plato.

Just finished Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 campaign. They didn't have to be brutal like this... Very sad ending.

Highest Calvinist IQ:
Turretin denying that the will of God should be properly distinguished into antecedent and consequent. “because it attributes to him contrary wills (viz., that God wills the salvation of all and wills the salvation only of some)”

Note: Turretin is quite consistent here with his own system. Assuming the physical promotion of Bañezians and Calvinists, there can be no genuine desire on the part of God to save all men.

Glad to be of service. For those wondering about the second half of the work, I'm already working on it and it should be ready in a week or two. Make sure to support @ASanctoThoma and his @ScholaThomistic project. Now it's time to go and read Suárez!
Fr. Francisco Suárez figures as perhaps the greatest thinker of Second Scholasticism and his Disputations are certainly among the most important philosophical works ever written. We are happy to announce they are now available on the ScholaThomistica.
