  • Summary

    Most of the schools of theology present at the Council of Trent arose after the middle of the thirteenth century and late medieval theology attributed a certain theological authority to these schools. This chapter examines the way in which these schools contributed positively to the development of the council’s doctrinal decrees where there was consensus among them. While the council fathers generally avoided favoring one Catholic school of theology over another, there were occasions when the view of a particular school was rejected. This chapter also examines some of the various schools at Trent, such as Scotism and Thomism, and their prominent members.
