Thomas White (scholar)

Thomas White (scholar)

Thomas White (1593-1676) was an English Roman Catholic priest and scholar, known as a theologian, censured by the Inquisition, [web cite|url=http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15613c.htm|title=Thomas White|work=Catholic Encyclopedia] and also as a philosopher contributing to scientific and political debates.

He wrote around 40 theological works, around which the "Blackloist controversy" arose, taking its name from his alias Blackloe (Blacklow, Blacloe). His role in English Catholic life was caricatured by the hostile Jesuit Robert Pugh in terms of the "Blackloist Cabal", a group supposed to include also Kenelm Digby, Peter Fitton, Henry Holden, and John Sergeant.
