AUGUSTINE: "Now this name of Peter was given him by the Lord, and in a figure, that he should signify the Church. For seeing that Christ is the rock (Petra), Peter is the Christian people."Amen, Old Reggie! Too bad the RCC doesn't listen to Augustine. When Calvin went back and read him, he left the church at Rome for a better way.

"When Calvin went back and read him, he left the church at Rome for a better way." It wasn't Augustine that caused Calvin to leave the Church. It was petulance and the accusations of pillow-biting.

Negative; after he left the Church, his wandering feet found their way to Geneva, where, after one monumental failure, he returned to enslave the good burghers of Geneva and sucked the life out of them for more than two centuries after his death.

( I would not believe in the Gospel if the authority of the Catholic Church did not move me to do so.)
