Annotatio CXCVI

”Send forth thy Spirit, and they shall be created.” — Psalm 103:30

Thomas Cajetan is censured by Ambrose [Catharinus], bishop of Conza, because in his commentaries on the Psalms he did not interpret this little verse of the Holy Spirit, as most of the saints [Fathers] do, but of the spirit [breath] of animals, or of the soul itself, which is a likeness of the divine Spirit.¹
