According to Cajetan, John of St Thomas, and other Thomists, anyone who has not received a direct revelation from God must depend on the Church's proposition in order to make an act of faith.
Excellent work, Sean! Keep these coming! His Excellency Bishop Sanborn is using Minerd's translation of Garrigou's work "On divine revelation" as one of the textbooks in his Apologetics course for the school year of 2025-2026. Would you recommend that people purchase a copy of Minerd's work? I've known about the two volumes for years but have always hesitated to buy them because of Minerd's commitment to Vatican II. Thank you.
I have participated in online course work with Dr. Minerd and do in spite of our Vatican 2 differences, not because of them. He is a first class scholar and without peer on Garrigou's retrieval.
Thank you for that, Hans. I appreciate it. I'll definitely keep this in mind. If I may since I'm curious: what's your current position on the question of an extended vacancy of the Holy See (As Sean normally puts it)? I've pretty much come over to that position and personally continue to wrestle with the issue of the Una Cum Masses. Currently attending Mass with the SSPX.
I'm pretty much on straddling with my long spider legs, SSPX, SSPX Resistance, Sede Doubtist (SSPV) depending on which day of the week it is and what I've had for breakfast. I don't see how its possible that the Una Cum thesis is correct, because of how incredibly orphaned that leaves 99.9% of folks. With that said, I'm not dogmatically *against* Una Cum. I mean, it *could* be right and its very possible I'm falling victim to human respect because I don't want to look any more crazy than I already am. (And many people think I'm 3 coffee carafes short of a caboose already.)
Hello, Hans 👋🏼 I hope you’re doing well 🙂 Laudetur Iesus Christus 🙏🏼 Last week I came across an independent publisher on Amazon, a guy from Argentina, and he’s publishing (excerpts) Spanish translations (from the original Latin) of Garrigou’s work on revelation 👏🏼 I think I bought them all last week 😆
Our faith then cannot exist as a supernatural virtue without the infallible teaching of the Church which presuposses our faith in the doctrinal infallibility of the Church which in turn would necessitate the doctrinal infallibility of its head, the Roman Pontiff? For this reason Leo would be the guarantor of the doctrinal certainty of what he's proposing for our belief. I don't even think that he believes this.

Minerd's a good fellow, in spite of that commitment. If Bishop S is using it, that's a pretty good sign I would suppose. It is pricey though!
I am incredibly impressed that as tough a critic to please as Bishop S is using it.
Yes that is something.
Yes, quite the price tag for the two volumes!

I suppose you mean "Non--Una Cum thesis"?
Yes. Sorry when I see Non Una Cum I hear "Non Serviam" and get confused.

Quite.
