How the Jesuits read Augustine (Becanus, Peter of Saint Joseph)
Thesis XLVII. Augustine's statement that grace works without us so that we may will, they take to refer to the undeliberate act of the will, an imperfect sort of desire. His addition, that when we will he cooperates with us, they take to refer to the completed act of the will, a choice that is perfect and deliberate.
This is how the Jesuits commonly explain operating and cooperating grace today, together with very many doctors of the Roman Church who side with them against the Dominicans and the more recent Thomists.
This may be seen in Becanus's short treatise De auxiliis gratiae juxta Catholicos, which is among his minor works, and in Peter of Saint Joseph, Idea theologiae speculativae, book 4, chapter 6, resolution 4.
Latin
XLVII. Itaque quod dicit Augustinus, gratiam sine nobis operari ut Velimus, intelligunt de actu voluntatis indeliberato, & de imperfecto quodam desiderio. Quod autem addit, Quum Volumus nobiscum cooperatur, intelligunt de actu voluntatis consummato, & de electione perfecta & deliberata. Et sic gratiam operantem & cooperantem exponunt communiter hodie Jesuitae, & plurimi Doctores Ecclesiae Romanae, qui a partibus eorum stant contra Dominicanos & Thomistas recentiores. Ut videre est apud Becanum libello de Auxiliis Gratiae juxta Catholicos, qui liber est inter ejus opuscula. Et Petrum a sancto Joseph in Idea Theologiae speculativae, lib. 4. cap. 6. Resolutione 4.
