Monsignor Pope Ping!
‘Auggie’ as I affectionately refer to him, always gave me something to think about.
Augustine’s large contribution of writings covered diverse fields including theology, philosophy and sociology. Along with John Chrysostom, Augustine was among the most prolific scholars of the early church by quantity of surviving writings. He was also (with possible exception of Thomas Aquinas) the most brilliant author/apologist for the Faith.
He was a sinner, bishop, theologian, and father of the Church who influenced millions!
