The popes' bull against the Louvain doctor confirms Estius and Vázquez

The popes of Rome have given their verdict for this view of Estius and Vázquez. The contrary teaching appears to stand condemned in Pius V's bull, which Gregory XIII later confirmed.

That bull, aimed at a Louvain doctor, condemns several propositions, and one of them reads: 'All the works of unbelievers are sins, and the virtues of the philosophers are vices.' Vázquez reports this in the passage cited above.

Latin

XXX. Caeterum ista Gulielmi Estii & Gabrielis Vasquez sententia Pontificum Romanorum calculo comprobatur. Si quidem opposita doctrina damnata esse videtur in Bulla edita a Pio V. & a Gregorio XIII. confirmata. Nam inter alias propositiones quae in ea Bulla damnatae sunt, contra Doctorem quendam Lovaniensem, una est his verbis concepta. Omnia opera infidelium sunt peccata, & Philosophorum virtutes sunt vitia. Ut testatur Vasquez loco jam allegato.
