Chapter 8 responds to potential objections. Against the objection that my proposal is a recrudescence of “two-tier Thomism,” I argue that it is deeply congruous with Henri de Lubac’s view that nature innately desires grace. The second objection is that my view implies that a state of pure nature is impossible. I argue that it is in fact compatible with a wide variety of views of divine providence. Further objections are raised that focus on the nature of sanctifying grace, the ecumenical potential of a Thomist perspective, and Pelagianism. My proposal, I suggest, is compatible with a wide variety of views of justification, and it is not “Pelagian” in any meaningful sense.
