The Immaculate Conception: The Teaching of St. Thomas, St. Bonaventure and Bl. J. Duns Scotus on the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Description

cf. "St. Thomas affirming the Immaculate Conception!"

Storff's book is a fairly rambling, redundant attempt at refuting:

Pedro Lumbreras O.P., "Saint Thomas and the Immaculate Conception," Homiletic and Pastoral Review 24, no. 3 (1923): 253-63.

• He enumerates 9 different ways someone can be immaculately conceived. He shows St. Thomas denied the first 8 possibilities and Ineffabilis Deus affirmed the last.
• He argues that St. Thomas's work on the Immaculate Conception led directly to the formulation of the dogma in Ineffabilis Deus.
• He shows that St. Thomas (not Scotus) was responsible for the distinction between priority in nature vs. priority in time.

• His article provoked a Franciscan to write a whole book in response:

• The Immaculate Conception: The Teaching of St. Thomas, St. Bonaventure and Bl. J. Duns Scotus on the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary (1925)

• Its author seems to think her Immaculate Conception, not her Divine Maternity, is her greatest prerogative. Still, it seems to be a good summary of the views of these three authors; it contains indices of the original Latin documents.

Norbert del Prado O.P., Divus Thomas et bulla dogmatica "Ineffabilis Deus" (Friburgi Helvetiorum: Ex typis Consociationis sancti Pauli, 1919).

• Fr. Lumbreras cites this. It's quite magisterial.
