N2  - Recent scholarship on late-scholastic thought has stressed a Jesuit discontinuity from Thomism. While Aquinas’ Aristotelian thesis located the political sphere in the state of innocence, Jesuit thought on community formation is said to have referred to ‘fallen’ and ‘pure’ nature. In this piece, I trace one particular narrative: In the hypothetical, lasting state of innocence (if original sin had not occurred), Aquinas identified the political community, but not the institution of the sacraments. Two celebrated Jesuit scholastics, Francisco Suárez and Rodrigo Arriaga, challenged the latter claim and defended the naturalness of spiritual alongside temporal power. This effectively allowed them to connect ‘nature’ to ‘utility’ and ‘necessity’ without tying their claims to the supernatural teleology. To them, the state of innocence remained relevant for politics, albeit in a way that challenged the Thomist account.
