Pre-Vatican II Theologians Who Teach Baptism of Desire, Baptism of Blood.
From dossier with 122 pages of photocopied material.
The accompanying table contains a list of pre-Vatican II theologians who teach baptism of desire (=desiderii, flaminis, in voto, etc.) and baptism of blood (=sanguinis, martyrii, etc.), together with a page reference to the photocopied dossier I prepared. Two, St. Alphonsus de Ligouri and St. Robert Bellarmine, are Doctors of the Church. Many more such theologians can easily be found. These were merely the works in my private library.
Also given is the theological category (if any) each theologian has assigned to the teaching on baptism of blood and baptism of desire. This “category” in theology (also called a theological “note,” “qualification,” etc.) indicates how close a teaching is to the truths God has revealed and obliges us to believe — whether it is “theologically certain,” “Catholic doctrine,” de fide (of the faith), etc,. (Some theologians simply teach the doctrines, and do not assign categories.)
