Why Is Pietro Tamburini Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Pietro Tamburini was an Italian theologian and jurist. He openly espoused Jansenism as a university professor. Biography Pietro was born in Brescia and was educated by local priest, including the Dominican friar Pavoni, and later at seminary, by the Theatine father Scarella, who had Jansenist leanings. Tamburini was ordained a priest in 1760. Under the patronage of the Bishop of Brescia, later Cardinal, Giovanni Molin, he was appointed professor of metaphysics at the Brescian episcopal seminary. In 1771, he published a treatise on grace, De summa catholicae de gratia Christi doctrinae praestantia, utilitate, necessitate, dissertatio cum thesibus de variis humanae naturae statibus et de gratia Christi, in which he attacked the Jesuits. Initially published in Brescia, it was reprinted in Rome in 1773 and Florence in 1776, later throughout Europe. Bishop Molin under pressure by the Jesuits, by the local parish priests and by his own vicar general, dismissed Tamburini from his chair at the end of 1772.
