The post-tridentine dispute opposing Thomists against Molinists showed the ambivalence of Augustinian doctrinal meaning. Due to Gabriel Vázquez, Molinism turned up to question publicly the notion of a gratuitous predestination to heaven. Váquez’s contention provoked a powerful reaction among Spanish Thomists. From Lemos to the Salamanca Carmelites there is a continuity that makes the Thomist school and particularly the Dominican order the watchers of orthodox Augustinian thought against Molinists’ heterodox approach to Augustine’s doctrine.
