Sacræ Theologiæ Summa IB: Church of Christ, Holy Scripture

Description

"The Teaching of the Theological Manuals" by Msgr. Fenton says:

From Spain comes one of the very best recent traditional manuals in this field, the Theologia fundamentalis by the Jesuit Fathers Salaverri and Nicolau. This is the first volume of the famed Sacrae theologiae summa.

proposed First Vatican Council anathemas:

Against the Pessimists (who sound like some sedevacantists):

If any one says that the same Church of Christ can be overcome by darkness, or be corrupted with evils, by which it would stray from the salvific truth of faith and morals, or be diverted from its original institution, or finally having been perverted and corrupted would cease to exist, let him be anathema.

Against the Illuminists (who sound like those with the "spirit of Vatican II"!):

If any one says that the present Church of Christ is not the final and supreme economy for obtaining salvation, but that another one is to be ex­pected through a new and fuller effusion of the Holy Spirit, let him be anathema.

¶657, p. 240 (PDF p. 251): heretical pope question (quoted here):

657. Appendix. Whether or not the Pope as a private person can fall into heresy? Theologians dispute about this question. It seems to us “more pious and probable” to hold that God in his providence will see to it “that the Pope will never be a heretic.” For, this opinion, which was held by Bellarmine and Suarez, also was praised at Vatican Council I by Bishop Zinelli, Secretary for the Faith, when he said: “Because we rely on supernatural Providence, we think it is sufficiently probably that this will never happen. For God is not lacking in essentials, and therefore, if He were to permit such an evil, there would not be lacking the means to provide for it.”54

This English translation from the original Latin, On the Church of Christ • On Holy Scripture, is meant for seminarians and theology students who want to learn scholastic and Thomistic theology. This book is the second half of Volume I of the four volume series under the title of Sacrae Theologiae Summa, which was published in Latin in 1956 by the Bishops' Conference of Spain. The Spanish publisher is called B.A.C. The four volumes contain the treatises that cover all the basic dogmas of the Catholic faith and it does it in a detailed and scholarly way, with a heavy reliance on the teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas. One advantage of this Summa is that it gives the student the "theological note," that is, the grade of certitude for each thesis. Here you will learn what is a defined dogma of the Church, what is theologically certain, and what is just a theological opinion. The original publisher has given permission to publish the individual treatises as separate books, instead of the four large volumes of about 1,000 pages each. The project will take a few years and, when finished, should add up to eight volumes covering all the traditional courses of dogmatic theology: Revelation, Church, Scripture, The One and Triune God, Creation, Sin, Christology, Mariology, Grace, Virtues, The Seven Sacraments, The Last Things. The text has not been altered from the original, with the exception of the references to Denzinger (D). The best available version is the 43rd Edition edited by Peter Hünermann and published by Ignatius Press. It is the translator's hope that this volume and those that follow will help theology students, whether seminarians or graduate students, to learn the great Catholic tradition of dogmatic theology which is based on the Holy Scriptures, the writings of the Fathers of the Church, the ecclesiastical Magisterium, and the works of St. Thomas Aquinas.**
