Historical Anecdote

I was reading Frederick Copleston's History of Philosophy yesterday and I came across an interesting story. There arose a debate in the late medieval Church between the Domincans and Jesuits. The former maintained that God knows the future because of an all encompassing decree and the latter (in part) because of what is called 'middle knowledge'. The debate arose to such a pitch that they were reduced to calling each other names. The Domicans accused the Jesuits of being Pelagian and the Jesuits accused the Domicans of being Calvinists. Finally the Pope stepped in and said that both views of God's knowledge and decree were within the pale of Catholicism and the two sides "could continue to propound their own ways of reconciling God's foreknowledge, predestination and saving activity with human freedom, provided they did not call each other heretics."
