Gregory of Rimini was a man against the world. He kicked the pants off Mr. Peter Auriol , Venerable Inceptor and Aristotle. He then proceeded to wash them clean of their crazy Pelagian ideas and hung them up to dry. He did this with the influence of St. Augustine and the twist of his own lemony flavor. His writings were extremely clear for that time in history and amazingly profound that is why he is such an important character in the Protestant Reformation. Because Gregory's writings are so vast I want to focus on only a few, such as the foreknowledge of God and contingency of the world, predestination, and cognition.
             Gregory's arguments on Foreknowledge and Contingency was directed mostly to Peter Auriol and then to Oxford theologians. The argument of foreknowledge, in order for Auriol to preserve the contingency of consequences due to human free will, he declared that the future contingencies are neither true nor false, but neutral. Hence God does not know if (insert your name) will pass because "(insert your name) will pass" is neither true nor false. Auriol contradicts himself by say that God does know the future but how he knows is too complex for humans to understand. Gregory noticed that most of Auriol theory came from Aristotle's theory of future contingencies.
             "[This] is apparently a friendly excuse, but in the truth it is more of an accusation, because the fact that absurdities ensue [from this position] does not convince us that [Aristotle] did not think that, but convinces us that he ought not to have thought that... Moreover, some modern theologians [i.e. Auriol], great teachers, said that the conclusion [denying determinate truth to future contingent propositions] not only was the Philosopher's intention, but also that it is very true and even demonstrated..."
             Auriol was correct that the Principle of Bivalence when related to the future contingencies was denied by Aristotl...
