CAJETAN (GAETANUS), CARDINAL (1470-1534), was born at Gaeta in the kingdom
of Naples. His proper name was Tommaso[1] de Vio, but he adopted that of
Cajetan from his birthplace. He entered the order of the Dominicans at the
age of sixteen, and ten years later became doctor of theology at Padua,
where he was subsequently professor of metaphysics. A public disputation at
Ferrara (1494) with Pico della Mirandola gave him a great reputation as a
theologian, and in 1508 he became general of his order. For his zeal in
defending the papal pretensions against the council of Pisa, in a series of
works which were condemned by the Sorbonne and publicly burnt by order of
King Louis XII., he obtained the bishopric of Gaeta, and in 1517 Pope Leo
X. made him a cardinal and archbishop of Palermo. The year following he
went as legate into Germany, to quiet the commotions raised by Luther. It
was before him that the Reformer appeared at the diet of Augsburg; and it
was he who, in 1519, helped in drawing up the bull of excommunication
against Luther. Cajetan was employed in several other negotiations and
transactions, being as able in business as in letters. In conjunction with
Cardinal Giulio de' Medici in the conclave of 1521-1522, he secured the
election of Adrian Dedel, bishop of Tortosa, as Adrian VI. Though as a
theologian Cajetan was a scholastic of the older Thomist type, his general
position was that of the moderate reformers of the school to which Reginald
Pole, archbishop of Canterbury, also belonged; _i.e._ he desired to retain
the best elements of the humanist revival in harmony with Catholic
orthodoxy illumined by a revived appreciation of the Augustinian doctrine
of justification. Nominated by
