"Following neither Pink’s minimalism nor Wedgeworth’s death-by-committee thesis, I propose a reading of DH that puts us decisively into a post-liberal era of political theology. The substantive core of Leonine social teaching remains intact (the moral obligation of conversion to the true Church, the ordering of the temporal to the eternal, the existence of the Church as a perfect society) while correction and development takes place in the means appropriate for achieving these aims. The truth that grace perfects nature must be paired with a concrete understanding of how that elevating union takes place within a union free from coercion."

A throwback to a guest essay from a friend of Regensburg Forum, Chad Raith.
"The medieval disputes surrounding merit, then, reflect the dynamics of this general ambiguity. They also illustrate the range of positions that were possible within a generally accepted understanding of salvation, works, and reward. Only when judged in retrospect from the clarifications that the sixteenth century would produce do some of these positions stand out as clear aberrations from what would become accepted Christian soteriologies. To accept Calvin’s claim [about the degeneration of scholasticism into Pelagianism] prima facie requires accepting his definition of Pelagianism. But it is far from self-evident one should do so.
So what did Calvin have in mind by using the term 'Pelagian'?"

No peeking, which Protestant theologian said this:
"For I confess to your Charity that I have learned to yield this respect and honour only to the canonical books of Scripture: of these alone do I most firmly believe that the authors were completely free from error."
Thomas Pink's concluding response is now up at Regensburg Forum, in which he continues to spell out the imperative of a Leonine reading of Dignitatis Huamane.
Part two of the Regensburg Forum debate on Dignitatis Humanae is up. In this installment, Steven Wedgeworth responds to Thomas Pink's first essay.
