APPENDIX II

Purgatory

Theological Work · Doctor of the Church

St. Thomas Aquinas is a Doctor of the Church and the Summa is a foundational work of Catholic theology, but the Summa itself is not an act of the Magisterium. Where historical conclusions, terminology, law, or scientific assumptions differ from later definitive or authoritative Church teaching, current Magisterial teaching governs.
