Theological Theses · §892

Reformed disagree: some place faith subject in intellect alone (Molinaeus, Baron)

Reformed are not of one mind on which faculty is faith's subject.

Molinaeus and Baron place the proper subject in intellect alone: no faith-act not elicited by mind.

Latin

I. DE facultate cui fides inhaeret, & quae pro fidei subjecto habenda est, non idem sentiunt Doctores Reformati. Non desunt inter eos viri celeberrimi qui putant proprium fidei subjectum esse intellectum, non vero voluntatem. Nec enim ullum actum fidei tribuendum esse, qui non ab intellectu & mente eliciatur. Haec est sententia Petri Molinaei, ut manifeste colligitur ex Thesibus illius de Fide justificante, parte secunda, Thesi 18, & 19. Hanc quoque sententiam tenet Robertus Baronius in Philosophia Theologiae Ancillante: Fides, inquit, est in solo intellectu, proprie, subjective, & respectu suae essentiae. Exercit. 3. artic. 2. num. 5.
