 Fr. Hardon Archives - The Concept of Miracle from St. Augustine to Modern Apologetics
Benedict here introduces an important caution, occasioned by the false doctrine of Malebranche, who held that at least in the Old Testament the angels were not executors of the divine will, but rather God was the executor of the angelic will in working miracles.
When Benedict XIV, in the eighteenth century, modified St. Thomas’ concept of this transcendence, his motive was a practical one, namely, the need for passing judgment on the miraculous favors reported in canonical processes.
Benedict’s addition to this concept lay in his interpreting St. Thomas to mean that sacraments are physical, and not merely moral, instrumental causes of divine grace.
