Francisco Marín-Sola OP (22 November 1873 – 5 June 1932) Spanish Roman Catholic priest and philosopher. Known as "el Sabio Marín" (the Wise Marín).

Biography

Francisco Marín Sola was born in Cárcar. He received the habit of the Dominican Order in 1897. After studying philosophy in Ocaña and theology in Ávila, he was assigned to the Philippines in 1897, where he was ordained priest on 18 September 1897. He devoted his life to research and teaching, first in the Humanities and then in Philosophy and Theology in Manila, Avila, Rosaryville and Fribourg (Switzerland).

When he began to publish his series of articles on The Homogeneity of Catholic Doctrine at the learned journals Ciencia Tomista (1911–1922) and Revue Thomiste (1914), Catholic theology was studying the problem of how dogma retains the same meaning despite its evolution over time, a problem made more acute by modernism. Fray Marín believed that the solution lay in the very nature of the true theological conclusion.
