Life

Born Puente la Reina, diocese of Pamplona (Hurter: 1599; Haringer: 1583); died 27 February 1649. [Hurter, vol. III, col. 920-921; Haringer's index of writers, p. XXVI]

  • Jesuit; professor of theology at Salamanca and Rome. Pallavicino, his colleague and later cardinal, judged his genius second to none he had known; he was called 'the wonderful theologian', but Hurter adds that he pursues subtleties too far and is obscure, readable only by masters. [Hurter, vol. III, col. 920-921]
  • Works: Conclusiones theologicae de Deo trino et uno (Rome, 1648), five treatises on the Prima Pars (1656), De iustitia et iure, de restitutione et de poenitentia (Rome, 1669), and six treatises on the Second and Third Parts (Lyons, 1669). [Hurter, vol. III, col. 920-921]
  • Haringer marks him weighty and probabilist (**). [Haringer's index of writers, p. XXVI]

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.
