Palladium theologicum, Tomus quintus: De virtutibus

Gaudenzio da Brescia (1612–1672)

Reuerendi patris Gaudentij Bontempi, ... Palladium theologicum, seu Tota theologia scholastica in septem tomos distributa. Ad intimam mentem d. Bonauenturae seraphici doctoris ... Tomus quintus, De virtutibus

First published 1676

Bontempi's Palladium theologicum (Lyon 1676) is a complete scholastic theology composed ad mentem D. Bonaventurae, arranged in seven tractatus on the order of the Secunda secundae. This fifth volume, De virtutibus, treats the theological virtues (faith, hope, charity, with their gifts, beatitudes and fruits), the cardinal virtues and their opposite vices, and the states and offices of men (religious and prelates, bishops, princes), including the extensive disputations on contracts, religion, vows, fortitude, temperance and the judicial process. It is a significant example of the Bonaventurian scholastic school and a counterpart to the Thomist manuals of the period.

Disputatio V: On the Gift of Fear

Quaestio I: Whether FEAR is a Habit distinct from HOPE

Quaestio II: What the object of FEAR is

Quaestio III: Whether worldly Fear is always evil

Quaestio IV: Whether servile Fear is honorable, and a Gift of God

Quaestio V: Whether servile Fear is cast out when grace comes

The FIRST opinion is, that it is expelled as to the deformity attached to the subject of the man who is justified, not by reason of the gift itself.

The SECOND opinion is, that it is expelled formally, because it has an essential imperfection attached, which conflicts with Charity, namely, to act from the motive of punishment more than of some good; and this seems to be the sense of D. Augustine's words brought in in the preceding question, where he says that servile fear is related to charity as the awl-thread (seta) of the shoemaker to the thread, which introduces the thread, but is itself driven out by it.

The THIRD opinion, the third opinion is the middle one, distinguishes three things in servile fear. The first is material, namely, to fear eternal punishment. The second formal, which is to be moved principally by punishment. The third is attached, namely, to have a deformed will.

I assert first, That Fear is taken away as to the formal, upon the coming of grace.

It is proved by D. Bonaventure first from D. Augustine in the place cited, on those words of the first epistle of John, chapter 5: Perfect charity casts out fear.

Secondly, the Spirit of adoption and of slavery conflict, from chapter 8 of Romans. But grace is the Spirit of adoption; servile fear comes from the Spirit of slavery: Therefore.

Thirdly, because one who has charity is moved by love, not principally by fear of punishment: Therefore Fear is taken away as to this, upon the coming of Charity.

Fourthly. As love, which is before sanctifying grace, is related to infused charity, so also is servile Fear related to initial. But the love of charity is other than the love preceding justification: Therefore also fear: And since servile fear cannot become initial, or be changed into it: Therefore it is expelled.

Yet the SAINTLY DOCTOR answers by denying the parity, because Charity cannot be made formless and be transmuted, as is plain when someone falls from charity, and yet after the fall the fear of hell remains. And if you object, that love is the root of fear? Therefore it ought to run pari passu. It is answered that it does not avail, because it is likewise the root of Hope, and yet Hope can be formless and formed; and so it does not conclude that fear is altogether expelled, because it has something which can be together with Charity and without it; but Charity is wholly taken away.

I assert secondly, that fear is not taken away as to the material, that is, operating from fear of hell. This the arguments to be brought forward prove; which he nevertheless solves, because the material does not make a thing to be said to remain.

It is proved first; because as faith is related to grace, so also is the gift of fear; but faith is not taken away, but formed: Therefore.

Yet the SAINTLY DOCTOR answers, that it is not alike, because faith remains as to its essence, namely, assenting to truths from revelation: But servile fear, upon the coming of grace, does not flee evil principally from the motive of punishments.

It is proved secondly. Nature stands further from sanctifying grace than sanctifying grace from grace freely given; but upon the coming of sanctifying grace, nature is not taken away: Therefore neither the gift of grace: Therefore neither holy fear.

Yet the SAINTLY DOCTOR answers, that it is not alike, because nature is given as permanent, that it may be perfected by grace; but there are some graces which are given for a time, and therefore are taken away upon the coming of grace, as befitting an imperfect state.

It is proved thirdly: That which contains another, by adding something, does not destroy what is contained, but perfects it: Initial fear contains servile; for both operate from the motive of punishment: Therefore.

The SAINTLY DOCTOR answers, that that which adds an opposite difference does not perfect, but take away: thus filial fear adds a difference opposed to servile fear, which is to act not principally from the motive of punishment; Therefore it takes it away.

It is proved fourthly. Grace in itself conflicts only with sin. But servile fear is not a sin: Therefore it is not expelled by grace.

The SAINTLY DOCTOR answers; that servile fear regards punishment, which is from sin. Therefore grace, which is the dower of the sons of God, does not allow one to act principally from punishment, even though it allows punishments also to be regarded, because sons act in a different manner than servants not yet reconciled, but only tending toward reconciliation.
