And recall that he was a secular. Seculars didn't have the engines of an order to get them canonized. Lombard was probably the most famous of the lot, but it's not like the franciscans would try to get him canonized.Lee Faberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00476833516234522602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472139466585018053.post-87415548533309391672010-03-14T23:06:04.164-04:002010-03-14T23:06:04.164-04:00Thanks Michael.Thanks Michael.Taphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04375511506567572806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472139466585018053.post-31878008728663346952010-03-13T21:09:15.473-05:002010-03-13T21:09:15.473-05:00tap,

I suppose one might well be a great Catholic thinker without being especially holy. But non-canonization doesn't imply a lack of holiness either. Some canonizations just never get off the ground. Two other examples of significant Catholic figures whose causes never got very far are Robert Grosseteste and Thomas a Kempis. They were apparently holy, their writings were very influential and valuable to the Church, but it just didn't happen for one reason or another. I'm not sure it really means anything.Michael Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11191322302191384384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472139466585018053.post-77668304313989348022010-03-13T03:19:17.649-05:002010-03-13T03:19:17.649-05:00Sorry for asking so late after you posted this. I ...Sorry for asking so late after you posted this. I didn't realize you had started posting again. <br /><br />Anyways, my question is would you know or have any guesses as to why Peter Lombard, so revered by many of these Scholastics, is not even so much as named "blessed." ?<br /><br />Is there any part of his writing that would rule him out as a candidate? <br /><br />has he become an origen type figure in the Church, in that he's was so brilliant but is somehow suspect, because of some of his theology? what exactly is going on with Peter Lombard?Taphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04375511506567572806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472139466585018053.post-53044644725082368332010-01-25T17:06:27.448-05:002010-01-25T17:06:27.448-05:00Matt,

I'm trying to figure out changing views about Thomas Aquinas' magisterial authority among Dominicans (as well as non-Dominicans) right now, and this quotation from Scotus will be very useful. <br /><br />Thanks.Gaetanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14722914942511761947noreply@blogger.com
