Is Augustinian Pope listening: Viganò warns 1) Papacy is being transformed into an "honorary" role presiding over a "Religion of Humanity," 2) "ecclesial version of globalist technocracy" and a necessary premise for the "reign of the Antichrist." joehoft.com/archbishop-vigan…

The moment when Pope Leo paid a visit to his Augustinian brothers in Madrid during his apostolic visit to Spain. When you are in your family and among your own brothers, there are no protocols😁

Intuitively that's true, yeah. But I'm interested in seeing how far you can take some hyper-Augustinian view, in the abstract. "God simply doesn't want to" and such and such.

Naturally, a revival in toto of the "Jansenism" of Port Royale is neither possible nor desirable. Historic Jansenists like Abbe Gregoire would have conceded that much. But Vatican II does, almost in spite of itself, give the space to embark on a genuine Augustinian ressourcement and rethinking of some of the presuppositions which lead us down this road to begin with and have proven either false or burdensome - together with attempts at real moral and sacramental reform. History is a fickle mistress, and we live in uncertain and rapidly changing times. Perhaps - perhaps - that old spirit which shone over Port Royale, Cluny, Hippo and the road to Damascus has some light and surprises to give still if we would give it a chance to shine a little.

As far as I can tell it means someone who agrees with the Augustinian Scholastics and thinks that St. Francis de Sales got the praxis for frequent communion right.

Augustinian thought wasn’t so terrifying. The mistakes that the Latins kept making after him WERE opposed. There were councils to try to hash out many of the differences. The west developed mistakes that the east didn’t even know about until after the schism started

I would almost understand it if we were still living in the 1950's (granted it was insufferable even then by all accounts); but we are not. At the present juncture neo-scholasticism is just as obscure outside of specific modern circles (and even this is a novelty, I can remember back in the halcyon days of 2019 being met with hostility by OG trads for being interested in the manualist tradition - before Wagner birthed a thousand LARPers, this stuff was much more niche) than Augustinianism. While by no means common, among credentialed theologians who do still find plenty of adherents to the Augustinian tradition to a stricter or broader degree. But even among Dominicans you will but rarely find a neo-scholastic of the Lagrangian persuasion.

*Follow the opinions of St. Francis de Sales on frequent communion and of Berti and the Augustinian school on most everything else* E-Thomists: Erm thats like a heckin Jansenism

Eh I would distinguish between Thomism and neo-scholasticism. I have much devotion for St. Thomas even as I am honest about his limitations and mis-steps, and am indebted in many ways to the Thomistic tradition in the same manner all Augustinian scholastics were and are. The problem is that e-thomists lump all of these things together and reduce them into a trite caricature.
