So Thomas's project appeared in the lecture halls of Paris, the simple churches of southern Italy, and the pulpits and classrooms of the Oxford movement.

Oh, The Art of Dying Well by St. Robert Bellarmine is a good book that you should read if you want to start getting into the meditations on your own death.

A great doctor of the church, Jesuit saint and cardinal, St. Robert Bellarmine, he said that at our judgment, he said the entire syllabus, speaking as a teacher, he said the entire syllabus will be charity, will be love.

It won't be sentiment.

It won't be the feels.
Michael J. LichensGUEST
I also recommend, we republished a book a couple of years ago.
Michael J. LichensGUEST
It's The Art of Dying Well by St. Robert Bellarmine.
Michael J. LichensGUEST
That's another treasure that talks about a lot of similar subjects, but more looking to the very last thing.
Tom CurranHOST
Well, and it's funny because I saw that there was a bundle.

Ironically, the church of San Ignazio is only a few doors down from the building the French government used to set up their military headquarters after Napoleon took over Italy.
William AlbrechtHOST
And that is a beauty that over and over we've seen.
William AlbrechtHOST
And when it comes to St. Robert Bellarmine, he wasn't happy about this.

One of the greatest defenders of the papacy was involved in the aftermath.

Jordan CooperHOST
If you're just like, well, I just want a positive theology.
Jordan CooperHOST
I don't need to read a hundred different arguments against Robert Bellarmine because I don't even know who Robert Bellarmine is.
Jordan CooperHOST
If you're thinking that, then okay, totally understand that.
Jordan CooperHOST
But there are plenty of other works of Gerhard to read that are not just as dogmatic writings.

Jordan CooperHOST
It's much more focused on positive theology than something like Gerhardt's.
Jordan CooperHOST
So because of that, it serves really well as a handbook to theology.
Jordan CooperHOST
So you don't have to be overly engaged with the writings of Robert Bellarmine or something to be able to grasp what Hall-Ads is doing a lot of the time.
Jordan CooperHOST
And so there is an English translation available kind of floating around online, but there's no published English translation that we've been trying to get something like this done by an actual professional translator.
Edmund MazzaGUEST
Um, I mean, h- here, here's a, here's a teaser.
Edmund MazzaGUEST
So Saint Robert Bellarmine, uh, on the Roman Pontiff, the fourth posi- proposition, "It is probable and may piously be believed that not only as pope can the Supreme Pontiff not err, but he cannot be a heretic even as a particular private person by pertinaciously-"
Anne BarnhartHOST
Yeah
Edmund MazzaGUEST
... "believing something false against the faith." So the idea that even as a private individual teaching, you know, his own theological stuff, he can't be, uh, subject to error was something that was piously believed.

Children of wrath by nature, objects of hatred and aversion, hurled into hell with the rest of the damned, they will remain there for all eternity, punished by the horrible vengeance of the demon." Such also are the decisions of the learned Denis Petau, the most eminent Bellarmin, the Council of Lyon, of Florence, and of Trent, for these things are not decided by human considerations, but by the authority of tradition and of the scriptures.

Such logic makes one really doubt human reason and reminds one of the spirit with which the courts of the Holy Inquisition were inspired.
speaker_1NARRATOR
Where in nature can there be found such lack of proportion between cause and effect, crime and punishment? Have such arguments ever been justified by the voice of conscience? Official Christianity remains powerless to explain suffering.
