He was probably the most famous preacher of his time, called the "Italian Demosthenes". Tommaso Tamburini - Italian Jesuit born and active in Sicily. For many years he taught philosophy, dogmatic theology and moral theology. He also served as rector of various colleges. He was one of the leading representatives of Catholic probabilism - a moral system that, in cases of doubt about an obligation, permitted following a probable opinion in favour of freedom, even if the opposite opinion was more certain. His writings were highly influential in their time and went through many editions across Europe: Methodus expeditae confessionis - a handbook for confessors. Explicatio Decalogi - a detailed exposition of the Ten Commandments.
