I read them both. I am a Catholic and I have never heard of a Catholic teaching on “double predestination”.

Are you really that dense? Catholic teaching rejects double predestination, which Augustine here teaches. That's what I'm referring to. Catholic teaching also endorses universal grace, which Augustine rejects in explicit, direct words. Catholic teaching also does not teach justification via faith alone.

Are you a Calvinist?

Yes, but that's interchangeable with Augustinian and Christian. I'll take any one of these labels.

Thanks. I had figured you were a Calvinist, just from this thread.

From my end, this discourse with you is finished. Carry on.

Dominus tecum.

St. Augustine was a bishop. Does Calvinism have bishops?

St. Augustine said the Mass. Do Calvinists say Mass?

St. Augustine observed the feasts of the martyrs. Do Calvinists observe the feasts of the martyrs?

St. Augustine was a monk and wrote a monastic rule. Do Calvinists have monks?

St. Augustine gave instructions and advice to nuns in Hippo Regius. Do Calvinists have nuns?

You call yourself Augustinian while simultaneously repudiating Augustine's entire life?
