I'm not Catholic, he is only but a man.

I'd signed out for the night but that one is so ridiculous it has called me back. St Augustine was one of the Fathers of the Christian church (rather more than only a man, unless you are also going to say that Luke, Peter, Paul were "only men"), and he pre-dated the catholic/protestant schism by over 1000 years, so to disregard his words on the grounds that you aren't a catholic is fatuous beyond belief.

For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
1 Timothy 2:5

I stand by the word of the Lord, not by the rituals of man
