One of the most prominent conswrvative Thomist theologians that Trad Catholics have recommended I read is Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange.
He wrote a book on Predestination, and!i looked through it today. Here's his critique of Calvinism
"Against predestinarianism and the doctrines of Protestantism and Jansenism that revive it, the Church teaches: (a) God wills in a certain way to save all men and He makes the fulfilment of His precepts possible for all; (b) There is no predestination to evil, but God has decreed from all eternity to inflict eternal punishment for the sin of final impenitence which He foresaw, He being by no means the cause of it but merely permitting it."
How would you respond to this?
