Abstract

In this study we open a confrontation of the thought of Santo Tomás de Villanueva on justification with the dogmatic teaching of the Council of Trent in the corresponding decree. It is obvious that this is a substantial question in the Christian faith, which not without reason Luther considered articulus stantis vel cadentis Ecclesiae, and on the other hand the Tridentine Decree is a truly masterpiece, for all of which the comparison of the document with the preaching of the holy Archbishop of Valencia supposes submitting it to a quality test of the highest rigor. In the study it will be observed that the teaching of Sto. Thomas not only does not give in theological quality to the definitions of Trent, they are extremely consistent with them and in several cases he anticipates them with great precision. In the end, it will be possible to observe the intellectual and spiritual height of the preaching of the Saint as an excellent teacher and educator of the faith of the Church.
