“Calvin was a devotee of St. Augustine....did he not read St. Augustine’s homilies on the feast days of the saints?”
Augustine of Hippo November 354 – 28 August 430
Augustine was born after syncretic paganism was incorporated into catholicism.
Oh, so Augustine was bang on when it came to Grace, but was an idolater? Dang, Calvin was more daft than I thought.
If I do nothing else this thread I'm not going let this unmitigated lie masquerade as a historical fact. If you make a claim like this you back it up with primary sources.
When exactly was paganism incorporated? I want dates. I want names. I want places. I want 4th century authors who describe this process at work.
