Francesco Amico
Francesco Amico was a prominent Roman Catholic theologian, born in Cosenza, in Calabria, 2 April 1578.[1]
He entered the Society of Jesus in 1596. For twenty-four years he was professor of theology at Naples, Aquila, and Gratz, and, for five years, chancellor in the academy of Gratz.[1] He was scholastic in his method, adapting his treatises to a four-year course of teaching. He wrote De Deo Uno et Trino; De Natura Angelorum; De Ultimo Fine; De Fide, Spe, et Charitate; De Justitia et Jure, which was prohibited, 18 June 1651 donec corrigatur, on account of three propositions in it, which Pope Alexander VII and Innocent XI objected to.[1] The corrected edition of 1649 was permitted. He wrote also on the Incarnation, and the sacraments.[1]
