The Immaculate Conception - I Don't Believe That

Franciscans have a very different view of divine simplicity than Aquinas. Scotus has, I call it the subtle view because he's a subtle doctor. So he does not eliminate all conceivable kinds of complexity in God. He eliminates the kind that would threaten the doctrine of simplicity. And so his created order is going to be a perfect order for love and of love. That is a key to understanding creation for Bonaventure and Scotus. But when I say these things, I don't, it would be wrong to hear me as saying, and Thomas doesn't believe this. Of course. Because sometimes they agree, but there's a matter of emphasis is different.
