What does Neo-Scholastic Thomism say about the Charismatic Renewal movement?
Contemporary Thomist philosopher Dr. Ed Feser, in The Thomistic Tradition (part 1) , defines "Neo-Scholastic Thomism" as follows:
>_1\. Neo-Scholastic Thomism_: The dominant tendency within Thomism in the first decades after the revival sparked by Leo’s encyclical [Æterni Patris ], this approach is reflected in many of the manuals and textbooks widely in use in Roman Catholic colleges and seminaries before Vatican II. Due to its emphasis on following the interpretative tradition of the great commentators on Aquinas (such as Capreolus, Cajetan, and John of St. Thomas) and associated suspicion of attempts to synthesize Thomism with non-Thomistic categories and assumptions, it has also sometimes been labeled “Strict Observance Thomism.” Still, its focus was less on exegesis of the historical Aquinas’s own texts than on carrying out the program of deploying a rigorously worked out system of Thomistic metaphysics in a wholesale critique of modern philosophy. Its core philosophical commitments are summarized in the famous “Twenty-Four Thomistic Theses ” approved by Pope Pius X. [Réginald Garrigou-Lagrange[, O.P.]][5] (1877-1964) is perhaps its greatest representative.
