For the Age of it, scarce any go higher than the Stations of Pope Gregory. I. Who lived about the year Six hundred, And to fetch it from those Times, they have no antienter Author than Thomas Aquinas. (for neither Gratian, nor Peter Lombard, have so much as one word of this matter.) So Cardinal Cajetan Opusc. Tom. I. tract. 15. c. 1. saith, This only has been written within these three hundred years, as concerning the Antient Fathers, that Pope Gregory instituted the Indulgences of Stations, as Aquinas hath it. So likewise Bishop Fisher, and Alphonsus a Castro, both ubi Supra. Cardinal Bellarmin de Indulg. l. 3. offers some kind of proof from Elder Times, in such a manner, as if he would not oblige us to believe it. But for the Instance of Pope Gregory I. he saith, we are Impudent if we deny it. But with Bellarmins leave, a French Oratoire, Morinus de Poenit. l. 10. •. 20. does deny it; and convicts this, and all his other Proofs of Indulgences before Gregory. VII. to be nothing but Forgery and Imposture. It seems probable indeed, that Gregory VII. (commonly known by his former name, Hildebrand,) was the first that granted any Indulgences; and that was above a thousand years after Christ. Cardinal Tolet. casuum l. VII. c. 21. 1. saith, that Paschal II. was the first that granted Indulgences for the Dead. That must be about the year eleven hundred. And Ibid. lib. VI. c. 24. 3. he saith, that the first that granted Plenary Indulgences, was Pope Boniface VIII. who lived about the year thirteen hundred. So antient is this new Catholic Faith. |

The Ground of this Faith, according to Bellarmin de Indulg. l. 2, 3. is made up of a number of School Opinions put together; about which Opinions (as he there saith) the School-men have differed among themselves. But all his comfort is, that they that did not hold his way, were ready to acquiess in the Iudgment of the Church, if she held otherwise. He might as well have said, that the Church, when they lived, was so far from having declared her Judgment of this Doctrine; that she had not yet declared her sense of those Opinions, which were to be the Ground of it in after-times. |
