Fernando Palao
Edit ProfileCareer
He taught philosophy at Valladolid, moral theology at Compostela, and scholastic theology at Salamanca. Later he became rector of the College of Medina, and consultor and qualificator of the Holy Inquisition. He filled these three offices until his death.
His decisions were regarded as oracles, and difficult cases were submitted to him for solution.
Alphonsus Liguori numbers him among the principal authorities on moral theology (Dissert schol mor, Naples, 1755, c iv, n 119) and Jean-Pierre Gury calls him "a probabilist, a most learned, wise, erudite, and prolific author".
