Roman doctors split: Jansenists deny any mere sufficient grace

Click or tap any sentence to jump there. The side buttons skip a paragraph.

Roman doctors do not all agree on sufficient grace.

Some reject sufficient-vs-efficacious: no grace is sufficient unless efficacious.

They deny sufficient grace to all — for conversion or for avoiding sins — since efficacious grace is not given to all.

Jansenius and his disciples: this fits Augustine.

Latin

I. De hac quaestione non omnino convenit inter Doctores Ecclesiae Romanae. Primo enim sunt qui improbant distinctionem gratiae in sufficientem atque efficacem, nec volunt ullam esse gratiam sufficientem quae non sit efficax. Illi vero aperte docent non omnibus hominibus dari gratiam sufficientem sive ad conversionem, sive ad peccata vitanda; cum planum sit gratiam ad ista efficacem non omnibus dari. Quam sententiam tuentur Jansenius & ejus Discipuli, ut Augustini doctrinae conformem.
