I've always wondered ...Thanks for this, Marcel. I've always wondered by Reformed Protestants seem to have such an infatuation with Augustine, and this explains why.<br /><br />I would also add to your list that "Augustine" doesn't necessarily equal "the Church". Does the Church draw much of her Tradition from the Church Fathers, from doctors of the Church--including Augustine and Aquinas--and from the Saints?<br /><br />Absolutely. But that doesn't mean that everything that any of those sources believes equates to Tradition.<br /><br />The possibility exists--even if not completely true in this case--that Augustine was wrong on some things and right on many others.Brandon Vogthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01658116461483425280noreply@blogger.com
