Limosna y obligación de asistir a los pobres en la Escuela jesuita de los siglos de oro: Francisco de Toledo, Juan de Mariana, Francisco Suárez y Juan de Lugo

Abstract

This paper is a study of the scope of the obligation to help the needy in four Jesuit authors of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries: Toledo, Mariana, Suárez and Lugo. The text intends to show what criteria these authors use to determine the cases in which the aid to the needy becomes a strict obligation of justice.
