Pope Pius V on Election & predestination
No position located on this map
Searched in the sources read for this figure and not found. A limit of the reading rather than a claim about the figure — a source not yet read could settle it.
THE POSITION
Nothing found. The sections of the catechism read do not treat predestination or the ground of election. The nearest passage, in Article IX, says only that the Lord knows who are his and that who belongs among the good "we can by no means pronounce with certainty." Ex omnibus afflictionibus, the other text read, is about nature, grace and merit, not the basis of God's choosing. He was a Dominican and a Thomist, but this cell is not inferred from that.
19 Nevertheless, God’s firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord must turn away from iniquity.”
WHAT OTHERS HOLD HERE
ABOUT THIS FIGURE
Michele Ghislieri, a Dominican friar and inquisitor, was pope from 1566 to 1572 and carried the Council of Trent's decrees into practice. Under his authority came the Roman Catechism (1566), the reformed Breviary (1568) and Missal (1570), and the bull Ex omnibus afflictionibus (1567) on the teaching of Michael Baius; he also named Thomas Aquinas a Doctor of the Church. He wrote little theology of his own, so this entry rests on what he promulgated: the Roman Catechism, read in the McHugh and Callan translation, a commission's work issued by his order, and the 1567 bull in Deferrari's translation of Denzinger.
