About Giovanni Lorenzo Berti
- Giovanni Lorenzo Berti (Johannes Laurentius Berti) (1696–1766) was an Italian Augustinian theologian. The General of the Order of Hermits of St.
- Augustine, Schiaffinati, instructed him to write a book, to be used by all the students of the Order, expounding the whole of Augustine of Hippo's thought and particularly his doctrine of grace and free will.
- His huge Opus de Theologicis Disciplinis expounded not the private views of a theologian, but those of the Augustinian Order and therefore had a semi-official status in the Catholic Church.
- He was denounced to the Holy Office as a Jansenist by two French bishops.
- In December 1750 Pope Benedict XIV wrote a letter to one of them saying that the work had been submitted to competent theologians who had judged it to be sound; to the other he wrote a letter in May 1751 saying that nothing had been found in his work contrary to any decision of the Church.
