St. Augustine writes to St. Jerome: For I confess to your Charity that I have learned to yield this respect and honour only to the canonical books of Scripture: of these alone do I most firmly believe that the authors were completely free from error. And if in these writings I am perplexed by anything which appears to me opposed to truth, I do not hesitate to suppose that either the Ms. is faulty, or the translator has not caught the meaning of what was said, or I myself have failed to understand it. [Letter 82]. I am consoled by the "or I myself have failed to understand" ;-)

Me, myself and mine does not constitute a proof. He presumes to be the source of truth (his Menachean mindset is showing).

Let's also not forget that that what he calls the canonical books became canonical by decisions of men who are not considered free of error, the Church hierarchs.
