| 总结: | Since around the middle of the twentieth century, the conviction of St. Thomas Aquinas that Jesus Christ enjoyed the beatific vision throughout his earthly lifetime, from the moment of his conception, has been much criticized in Catholic theology. More recently, some followers of Aquinas, including Thomas Joseph White, O.P., and Simon Francis Gaine, O.P., have argued for Aquinas's position but with different arguments from the one Aquinas proposed for his conclusion in the Summa theologiae. This article examines the value of adding such arguments to Aquinas's own in response to a different assessment of the arguments, proposed recently in The Thomist by Joshua Lim. It supports a reading of Aquinas's argument in the Summa theologiae different from Lim's presentation and in that light concludes that it cannot bear all the weight Lim attributes to it, thereby leaving more space for other arguments, such as those of White and Gaine, to participate in the debate. |
