(PETRUS DE PALUDE)
Atheologian andarchbishop, born in the County of Bresse,Savoy, about 1275; died atParis, 1342. He entered theDominican Order atLyons, completed histheological studies at theUniversity of Paris, and was made a Doctor and Master of Theology in 1314. Wishing to devoted his life to teaching and writing, he avoided all offices ofhonour in the order, except those pertaining to the direction of studies. Twice, however, he was sent as definitor from the Province ofFrance to the General Chapter.John XXII, wishing to organize aCrusade, sent him in 1318 aslegate to the Court ofFlanders, in the hope of establishing peace between the prince and the King ofFrance. The mission was not successful, and his associates made charges to thepope against thelegate, who, however, easily cleared himself. He was also a member of the commission appointed byJohn XXII to examine the writings of Petrus Olivi, whose books contained someerrors of the Fraticelli (Denzinger, 484-91, interesting account inTouron). About this time he wrote "De causa immediata ecclesiasticæ potestatis" (Paris, 1506) against John of Poilly, whoseerrors were condemned 25 July, 1321 (Denzinger, 491, 495). In 1329 thepope called him toAvignon, andconsecrated himPatriarch ofJerusalem. The same year he journeyed intoEgypt, to negotiate with the sultan for the deliverance of the Holy Land. The sultan was immovable. The accounts which the patriarch gave of the miserable condition of the Holy Land led to the announcement of anotherCrusade, but owing to apathy, and dissensions among theChristian princes, the project failed. Peter resumed his studies, composing at this time his commentaries on the Sentences ofPeter Lombard, in which he combats Durandus. About 1332 he was appointed by the King ofFrance to preside over the deliberations of a body ofprelates andtheologians whom Philip had convoked atVersailles to discuss the charge made againstJohn XXII, of asserting that thesouls of the just will not be admitted to thebeatific vision until after the general judgment. The patriarch and his associates manifested consummateprudence in dealing with this matter. In a letter to the king they declared;
Thisdoctrine was defined byBenedict XII, 29 Jan., 1336 (Denzinger, 530). Besides the works mentioned, Paludanus wrote commentaries on all the books of theBible, and "Concordantiæ ad Summam S. Thomæ" (Salamanca, 1552).
