You'd think St. Augustine was Catholic!

LOL!!!! :-)

And he even believed in -- (don't tell them): free will.

But you are right on target, Jo. They look for out-of-context support for their innvations and distortions, instead on the faith delivered in en toto.

That's true, but I give Harley credit for even reading St. Augustine. I hope he continues to read other Catholic (meaning Catholic/Orthodox before the Schism) Fathers. It is quite helpful, at least for me, to see their insights into Scripture and the Apostolic Tradition, the total teachings of the Church. What I hope he begins to do is to read the Fathers through the lenses of the Church, as they were written.

Brother in Christ
