	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Robert Bellarmine
		In 1588 Bellarmine was made Spiritual Father to the Roman College, but in 1590 he went with Cardinal Gaetano as theologian to the embassy Sixtus V was then sending into France to protect the interests of the Church amidst the troubles of the civil wars.
		Bellarmine, whose loyalty to the Holy See was intense, took this greatly to heart; it was, however, averted by the death of Sixtus, and the new pope, Gregory XIV, even granted to Bellarmine's work the distinction of a special approbation.
		Bellarmine's advice was from the first that the doctrinal question should not be decided authoritatively, but left over for further discussion in the schools, the disputants on either side being strictly forbidden to indulge in censures or condemnations of their adversaries.

	Robert Bellarmine
		For many years afterwards, Bellarmine was held by Protestant advocates as the champion of the papacy, and a vindication of Protestantism generally took the form of an answer to his works.
		Bellarmine trod here on difficult ground, for, although maintaining that the pope had the indirect right to depose unworthy rulers, he gave offence to Paul V in not asserting more strongly the direct papal claim, whilst many French theologians, and especially Jacques Bossuet, condemned him for his defense of ultramontanism.
		Bellarmine, whose life was a model of Christian virtue, is the greatest of modern Roman Catholic controversialists, but the value of his theological works is seriously impaired by a very defective exegesis and a too frequent use of "forced" conclusions.

	ST. ROBERT BELLARMINE ON THE INDIRECT POWER (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Bellarmine’s indirect power seems to be simply a direct power restricted to exceptional use; but if the Church uses it she must have had it; and in that case the power of the Church is not solely spiritual.
		Bellarmine rightly knew that the principles governing the solution of his problem could not be invalidated by any historic happenings; but he failed to realize that all that happened since Philip and his lawyers successfully defied Boniface had moved the problem into a new phase by profoundly altering its whole context.
		Bellarmine’s adherence to the old context is nowhere more apparent than in his use of the famous body-and-soul metaphor of Gregory Nazianzen, as the central image in which an intuitive glimpse is had of the relations of the two powers.

	The ordination of women in the Roman Catholic Church
		Though I have found no explicit quotation from Bellarmine to prove this, he probably followed Thomas Aquinas in thinking that woman cannot represent Christ ‘because she is not a complete human being’.
		Bellarmine’s arguments against women's ordination, dispersed through his works as they are, are clearly based on prejudice and not a balance and well informed theological judgment.
		Bellarmine’s lack of considered judgment is all the more apparent because of his miserable failing, as a theologian and a Church leader entrusted with the magisterium, to discern the true theological and doctrinal truth in the case of Galileo Galilei.

		As an apologist and controversialist, therefore, Bellarmine is quite as well known among the Protestants whose ancestors he refuted as among Catholics whose faith he upheld.
		In response to his second question - “Of whom was Christ born?” - Bellarmine simply voices the defined teaching of the Church when he says: “Of the Virgin Mary.” Modern critics of the rationalist school have outdone themselves in their efforts to disprove the Virgin Birth of the Saviour.
		With an apology for his brevity, St. Robert briefly answers them while cautioning his listeners that, if the matter were treated more deeply, the marvels therein contained would be seen to compare favorably with the tremendous miracle of a God becoming man and His birth as the Child of a Virgin Mother.
