| Summary: | The "theses of Alcalá" were two controversial statements defended by certain Jesuits at the University of Alcalá de Henares in 1601. One of them was perceived by the Pope as particularly offensive: "It does not belong to Faith that this concrete man, for example, Clement VIII, is the Roman Pontiff". When Pope Clement learned of this theological act, the Spanish Inquisition intervened, since it attempted to prevent the Supreme Pontiff from reserving the cause for himself. In this article, we delve into these events thanks to several hitherto unpublished manuscripts. Among these documents we highlight several by F. Peña, a Spaniard who interpreted this statement as a subterfuge by the Society of Jesus to avoid the supposedly imminent condemnation of Luis de Molina, a Jesuit whose book on divine predestination and human freedom was being examined in Rome at the time. The documents transcribed here provide us with new details, such as the precise text of the conclusions defended in Alcalá. In addition, it is noteworthy that Peña was the first to understand correctly the position of the Dominican Domingo Báñez, because according to him it does belong to faith that Clement VIII is Pope, even though not in a primary way. Las "tesis de Alcalá" fueron dos afirmaciones controvertidas defendidas por ciertos jesuitas en la Universidad de Alcalá de Henares en 1601. Una de ellas resultó especialmente desagradable al Papa: "No es de fe que este hombre determinado, por ejemplo, Clemente VIII, sea el Romano Pontífice". Cuando el Papa Clemente se enteró de este acto teológico se desencadenó la intervención de la Inquisición española, la cual intentó impedir que el Sumo Pontífice se reservara la causa para sí. En este artículo profundizamos en estos acontecimientos gracias a varios manuscritos hasta ahora inéditos. Entre estos documentos, destacan varios de F. Peña, un español que interpretó esa afirmación como una artimaña de la Compañía de Jesús para esquivar la supuestamente inminente condena del jesuita Luis de Molina, cuyo libro acerca de la predestinación divina y la libertad humana estaba siendo examinado en Roma en esos momentos. Los documentos aquí transcritos nos proporcionan nuevos detalles, como el texto preciso de las conclusiones defendidas en Alcalá. Además, es notorio que Peña fue el primero en comprender acertadamente la postura del dominico Domingo Báñez, porque para él sí es de fe que Clemente VIII sea Papa, aunque no lo sea de manera primaria. |
