Thomas Bouquillon (16 May 1840 in Warneton, Belgium – 5 November 1902 in Brussels, Belgium) was a Belgian Catholic theologian. At the time of his death he was professor of moral theology in the Catholic University of America. He was one of the most eminent theologians of his time, a man of prodigious erudition in theology, history of theology, church history, canon law, and bibliography. Bouquillon was active and influential in the organization of the Catholic Universities of Lille and Washington. He supported the views of Archbishop John Ireland〔(Phantom Heresy? Americanist Crisis and the U.S. Roman Catholic Church )〕 and Edward McGlynn.〔(The Origins of Moral Theology in the United States: Three Different Approaches - Review | Cross Currents | Find Articles at BNET.com )〕 He warned against appeals to Rome in moral matters when that substituted for grappling with the issues.〔Charles E. Curran, ''The Catholic Moral Tradition Today: A Synthesis'' (1999), p. 203.〕 ==Life== The second son among five children in a family of small landholders long established at Warneton near Ypres, he received his early education in local schools and in the College of St. Louis at Menin. His course in philosophy was made at Roeselare; in theology, at the seminary of Bruges.〔(Kerby, William. "Thomas Bouquillon." The Catholic Encyclopedia. Vol. 2. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1907. 24 Feb. 2014 )〕 Having entered the Georgian University in Rome, in 1863, he was ordained priest in 1865 and made doctor of theology in 1867. After ten years in the Bruges seminary (1867–77) and eight years in the Catholic University of Lille, France, as professor of moral theology, Bouquillon retired to the Benedictine monastery at Maredsous and devoted his energies to the preparation of the second edition of his treatise on fundamental moral theology.〔 In 1892 he accepted the chair of moral theology in the Catholic University at Washington, D.C., where he remained until his death in 1902.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomas Bouquillon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
