LAMINNE, JACQUES. - Theologian, b. in 1864 at Aerschot (Belgium), d. at Liège on 23 Oct. 1924. Having graduated brilliantly in philosophy and theology at the Gregorian University, he taught philosophy at the Seminary of St-Trond and in 1904 at the University of Louvain, where in 1906 he held the chair of dogmatic theology. In 1914 he was appointed vicar general of Liège and in 1919 consecrated auxiliary bishop of Msgr. Rutten.
He published two fine monographs: La Rédemption (Louvain 1911); Controversie sur les futurs contingents à l'Université de Louvain au XVe siècle (ibid. 1906). Having become passionately interested in the problem, then so much alive, of evolution, he wrote: Que nous enseigne le premier chapitre de la Genèse? (ibid. 1903); L'idée d'évolution chez la Augustin (ibid. 1908); La philosophie de l'inconnaissable, la théorie de l'Évolution, étude critique des « Premiers Principes » de H. Spencer (ibid. 1907); Evolution et causalité (ibid. 1931). In these he reveals himself a convinced upholder of transformism. A theologian of vast philosophical erudition and versed in the natural sciences, he was ahead of his time.
