Theological Theses · §1512

Others keep Thomas: ‘vow’ analogically covers God-promises and Saint-promises—absolute vs relative

Another School path: Church usage stretches ‘vow’ analogically to Saint-promises.

God-vows absolute; Saint-vows relative—ending finally in God’s glory.

Latin

XXXII. Alii vero facilius se explicant, a doctrina Thomae non recedentes, in qua fatetur votum de sola promissione Deo facta dici; verum ex usu Ecclesiae. Juxta quem, votum est nomen quoddam generale quod analogice dicitur de promissione facta Deo & Sanctis. Inter quae vota alii hoc discrimen constituunt, quod votum Deo factum sit absolutum, illud vero quod fit Sanctis relativum: nimirum quia licet ad Sanctos, ut jam dictum, quodammodo terminetur, ultimo tamen ad Dei gloriam refertur.
