"I promised you [new Christians], who have now been baptized, a sermon in which I would explain the sacrament of the Lord's Table, which you now look upon and of which you last night were made participants. You ought to know that you have received, what you are going to receive, and what you ought to receive daily. That bread which you see on the altar, having been sanctified by the word of God, IS the Body of Christ. That chalice, or rather, what is in that chalice, having been sanctified by the word of God, is the Blood of Christ"(Sermons 227 [A.D. 411]).

"What you see is the bread and the chalice; that is what your own eyes report to you. But what your faith obliges you to accept is that the bread IS the Body of Christ and the chalice is the Blood of Christ. This has been said very briefly, which may perhaps be sufficient for faith; yet faith does not desire instruction" (ibid., 272).

 

 

Well; old Auggie is just as able to spout out assertions without proof just as easily as any subsequent Catholic leaders thru the ages.

I would guess that the faith he is speaking of is the faith the the church is teaching y'all the right stuff.  Would that be a correct assumption?

Nice. So you post writings of ST. Augustine that are awesome, proof-positive, well thought out and beyond refutation - to make your point against the Catholic.

In reply, I post something as well of ST. Augustine - and all of the sudden, for YOU, the guy becomes an illiterate slob, with no proof, doesn’t know what he is talking about, and worse yet he “spouts out” crap as a mouth piece for the Church just like any other Catholic “leader”.

Heads you win, Tails I lose.

Catalog that snippet of integrity, while you’re at it.
