Philosophy the Handmaid of Theology · §51

That the theology of wayfarers is taken in three ways; and that theology in the first sense is not a habit really distinct from faith

Article XXIV. That the theology of wayfarers is taken in three ways; and that theology in the first sense is not a habit really distinct from faith.

1. Wayfarers' theology three ways: (1) divine faith itself believing revealed mysteries; (2) a "scientific" habit deducing theological conclusions from faith's principles (some Scholastics); (3) an aggregate from faith and philosophy — scholastic theology.

2. In the first sense theology is not really distinct from faith — it is faith itself. Other distinctions multiply habits without need.

Latin

ART. XXIV. Ostenditur Theologiam Viatorum tribus modis accipi: & probatur Theologiam primo modo acceptam, non esse habitum a Fide re distinctum. 1. Theologia viatorum tribus modis accipitur: (1) pro ipsa fide divina, qua mysteria revelata credimus; (2) pro habitu scientifico quo ex principiis fidei conclusiones theologicae deducuntur — ut quidam Scholastici volunt; (3) pro habitu aggregato ex fide & disciplinis philosophicis, quo Scholastica Theologia constat. 2. Theologia primo modo accepta non est habitus a fide realiter distinctus: est ipsa fides, seu notitia fidei. Qui aliter distinguunt, multiplicant habitus sine necessitate.
