“Where is the Nouvelle thèologie going? It is returning to Modernism.” -Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange
“Luther is one of the greatest religious geniuses in all of history. In this regard, I place him on the same level as Saint Augustine, Saint Thomas Aquinas, or Pascal. In a certain sense, Luther is even greater.” Cardinal Yves Congar OP.

🧵St. Augustine in the cited place [and elsewhere] must be understood of speaking of God's consequent will, and not the antecedent by which He formally wills the salvation of all men.
Replying to @ClassicalTheis
It's a opinion of Saint Augustine. Saint Thomas is also favorable of it. Maybe you should ask them, whether they get some sick pleasure out making God out to be a callous sociopath?

"If we were truly humble and duly considered our own wretchedness, we would be struck with amazement, contemplating God's patience and condescension toward us, that is, how He deigns to take even the slightest notice of us." — Fr. Michael of St. Augustine

"Justification based merely on imputed righteousness is like calling an Ethiopian white simply because he puts on a white garment. Though the garment possesses whiteness, it leaves the man beneath entirely unchanged." St. Robert Bellarmine

“But God proceeds in an orderly way. Therefore he wills the end before the means. Now; glory is an end, and merits are means to attain that end. Consequently, God wills glory before He wills merits, and a man's preelection to glory cannot be based on foreknowledge of his merits."

Turrentin's retardation refuted here: illaefafictisofgod.substack.…
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)”

"To discard Aquinas, especially in philosophy and theology, as We have said, is very harmful; following him is the safest path to a profound knowledge of divine truth." -St Pope. Pius X

since I want the enemies of grace to understand clearly that, without grace, the human heart is incapable of even a good thought, but its "sufficiency is from God";

“Knowledge of truth is twofold. One is purely speculative, and pride hinders this indirectly by removing its cause. For the proud man subjects not his intellect to God, that he may receive the knowledge of truth from Him, according to Matt. 11:25, Thou hast hid these things from the wise and the prudent, i.e., from the proud, who are wise and prudent in their own eyes, and hast revealed them to little ones, i.e., to the humble. Nor does he deign to learn anything from man, whereas it is written (Sir 6:34): If thou wilt incline thy ear, thou shalt receive instruction. The other knowledge of truth is affective, and this is directly hindered by pride, because the proud, through delighting in their own excellence, disdain the excellence of truth; thus Gregory says (Moral. xxiii, 17) that the proud, although certain hidden truths be conveyed to their understanding, cannot realize their sweetness: and if they know of them they cannot relish them. Hence it is written (Prov 11:2): Where humility is there also is wisdom.” — St. Thomas Aquinas, ST.II-II, Q.162, A.3, Rep.1
