BASTIDA, FERNANDO de la. - Spanish theologian, b. at Valladolid in 1539, d. there in 1637. Having entered the Jesuits in 1588, he taught theology in his native city; then, called to Rome, he was the chief champion of the Order (after Gregory of Valencia and Pedro Arrubal) in the fourth phase of the de auxiliis controversy, where he disputed against Fr. Tomas de Lemos O.P., in 1604 before Clement VIII on middle knowledge, in 1605-1606 before Paul V on physical predetermination.
His discourses are found in the Historia controversiarum de divinae gratiae auxiliis of Fr. Livino de Meyer (Antwerp 1705). B. also intervened in defense of Paul V in the controversy over the interdict of Venice: Antidoto a las venenosas consideraciones de fra Paulo de Venedia sobre las censuras de N. S. Paulo V (Venice and Lyon 1607; in Italian, Rome 1607).
In 1619 B. left the Society of Jesus (it was said that his Jewish descent had been discovered, which at that time constituted an impediment to entry into the Order), and he was made a canon and professor at the University of Valladolid. He is said to have left behind as manuscripts two volumes on the history of the Congregation de auxiliis, later used by Fr. Gabriele Henao in his Stetitia media historica propugnata (Salamanca 1655).
