| Sumario: | St. Augustine has long become the common and universal boast of Christianity. The Catholic Church sees in him one of the foremost witnesses of her tradition of teaching. She has given him the title of Doctor gratiae; upon him, down the course of ages, she has ever lavished her praises. But the early Protestant reformers, too, have turned to him as their forerunner, alleging their own doctrine to be his. Men of thought and scholars of diverse creeds and sects are flushed with admiration for him and are profuse in their eulogies. Yet, surely, these individuals and religious bodies cannot all rightfully claim him to be one with them in faith without a contradiction. He must belong either to the Catholica, which he so assiduously and indefatigably defended for so many years, or be an Anglican, or a Protestant of some other sort. |
