Catholic contribution · limited scope

Summa Theologiae I, question 2

Thomas Aquinas · New Advent edition

Read the objections as well as the replies. Aquinas argues from effects to God; our contingency outline is an introductory reconstruction, not a quotation of his Five Ways. Limited use: causation and dependence in I, q.2, a.3, alongside Sproul. This does not endorse Aquinas's account of justification, merit or ecclesial authority.

Examine claims about justification, merit and Marian teachings against Scripture and the project’s doctrinal standard. Philosophical contributions are assessed separately; these review topics do not imply that every passage addresses them.
