God Conquers Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Out of these, I choose the Subtle Doctor. Almost entirely based on his name. Although I love the way he argues about immanence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Therese Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Unfortunately, I'm not educated enough to say one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ephrem Augustine Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 It is worth noting that St. Bonaventure integrated more of Augustinian thought into his theology, out of those listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudate_Dominum Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 [quote name='Pio Nono' date='25 February 2009 - 08:48 AM' timestamp='1235566092' post='1791218'] I'm surprised that Duns Scotus made the list...sure, he was beatified, so his works can't be condemned...I've just never been comfortable with him. He seems to have provided the groundwork for nominalism and, ultimately, Protestantism. [/quote] Sounds like the tiresome old diss on Ockham and to assert such a thing of Scotus strikes me as most absurd. Scotus was as much a realist as Aquinas and many Popes have given mad props the this saintly man and his thought. I'd be happy if he were canonized and declared a Doctor of the Church. P.S. I voted other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apotheoun Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 As far as recent theologians are concerned . . . I like Fr. Meyendorff, Fr. Florovsky, and Dr. Aristeides Papadakis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie-Therese Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 My initial response was Jesus. [quote name='Raphael' date='10 April 2010 - 09:18 AM' timestamp='1270905511' post='2090377'] Hans Kung [/quote] I totally LOLed. [quote name='Servus_Mariae' date='10 April 2010 - 02:38 PM' timestamp='1270924720' post='2090513'] John of the Cross and Theresa of Avila [/quote] I agree, my spirituality is Carmelite and so I tend to gravitate toward the Carmelite saints' writings. Numero uno on that list is St. Therese. [quote name='MissyP89' date='10 April 2010 - 08:10 PM' timestamp='1270944636' post='2090687'] de Sales is pretty awesome. [/quote] I agree there, too. I love the Salesian/Visitandine philosophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laetitia crucis Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 [quote name='Laudate_Dominum' date='10 April 2010 - 08:30 PM' timestamp='1270942229' post='2090681'] Sounds like the tiresome old diss on Ockham and to assert such a thing of Scotus strikes me as most absurd.

The Franciscans of the Immaculate are quite fond of him, so since finding that out, I have wanted to give him a chance; however, I think I have been given a somewhat "tainted" perspective of him as I was taught Bl. Scotus was basically a pre-cursor to Ockham. (Sadly, several Sisters and priests in my community did not think very highly of his philosophy... I never quite got a full understanding of why -- just that Ockham-connection on nominalism. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
