Patristic Christology was based on the hypostatic union against the Arians. For St. Thomas, Christ received sanctifying grace and charisms, due to the grace of the hypostatic union. Therefore, these gifts could not increase and could not bring something new in the life of Christ. Congar criticizes Thomas’ Christology for two reasons. First, this Christology does not pay sufficient attention to the historical character of the economy of salvation. Second, it does not allow the theologian to understand these interventions of the Spirit as qualitative moments in which God communicates to Christ himself in his status as Messiah and Redeemer.References
