520 |a This article examines the grounds on which Augustine of Hippo categorically condemns the use of lies in his writing Contra mendacium. No motive, not even the noblest such as the defense of the Catholic faith, can justify lying. Of this opinion, however, was the recipient of the writing, Consentius, in the context of the Priscillianist heresy. The study proceeds by searching Contra mendacium for answers to the most important and frequently asked questions about lying: what is a lie? And how is it generated in the human heart? Augustine answers these two questions and offers a detailed summary of Catholic morality on sin, within which the sin of lying is then placed. The most interesting question is the one about the scriptural basis for the prohibition of lying, the subject of heated dispute in Augustine's time. There is also no shortage of questions about borderline cases in which a lie might seem the only way to secure physical or spiritual good. What emerges is an Augustine certain that the only way is truth, because God is truth.
