His Moral System, as Our Authors Report It

Every report quoted in the author's own words and linked to its place; point at a name to see his words. Haringer's signs give St. Alphonsus's judgment as Haringer found it in St. Alphonsus's works (his notice, Gury-Ballerini, 1884, p. XI); a sign on a writer the 1884 editor added to the list is the editor's own, and is said to be his.

Equiprobabilist
“The more recent ones (Marc, Gaude) think that the holy doctor later revoked the probabilism to which he had adhered at the beginning and taught equiprobabilism”Noldin: among the more recent equiprobabilists, he thinks St. Alphonsus revoked his early probabilism and taught equiprobabilismNoldin, Summa I, n. 250
“That equiprobabilism is the genuine system of St. Alphonsus, which he definitively embraced at least from the year 1762, the Vindiciae Alphonsianae (I, p. 1-150), Gaude (de mor. syst. S. Alph.), Wouters (de Minusprobab., ed. 2, p. 49), and many others clearly prove”Marc: he proves that equiprobabilism is the genuine system of St. Alphonsus, at least from 1762Marc, Institutiones I, n. 87
