His unique gift was the ability to write at a high theoretical level for the most-discerning readers and still be able to deliver sermons with fire and fierceness in an idiom that a less-cultured audience could admire. Perhaps the most difficult student, however, is the one with an inferior education who believes he understands something when he does not. [153] Anselm of Canterbury established in his Cur Deus Homo the definition that was followed by the great 13th-century Schoolmen, namely that Original Sin is the "privation of the righteousness which every man ought to possess", thus separating it from concupiscence, with which some of Augustine's disciples had defined it[154][155] as later did Luther and Calvin. [86] Augustine then sold his patrimony and gave the money to the poor. Twenty years later, the barbarian Visigoths, led by Alaric I, sacked Rome.Many Romans blamed Christianity, claiming that turning away from the ancient Roman gods had caused their defeat.

According to Possidius, one of the few miracles attributed to Augustine, the healing of an ill man, took place during the siege. [137] But his struggle to understand the cause of evil in the world started before that, at the age of nineteen. [104], Augustine was not preoccupied, as Plato and Descartes were, in detailed efforts to explain the metaphysics of the soul-body union. His mother Monnica (d. 388), a devout Christian, seems tohave exerted a deep but not wholly unambiguous influence on hisreligious development.

Taking offense at the implications of the teachings of a traveling society preacher named Pelagius, Augustine gradually worked himself up to a polemical fever over ideas that Pelagius may or may not have espoused. At the age of 17, through the generosity of his fellow citizen Romanianus,[61] Augustine went to Carthage to continue his education in rhetoric, though it was above the financial means of his family. City of God, written near the end of Augustine's life, was partly a defense of Christianity in the Roman Empire.The emperor Theodosius had made trinitarian Christianity the official religion of the empire in 390. He taught there is one Church, but within this Church there are two realities, namely, the visible aspect (the institutional hierarchy, the Catholic sacraments, and the laity) and the invisible (the souls of those in the Church, who are either dead, sinful members or elect predestined for Heaven). If none of his written works had survived, he would still have been a figure to be reckoned with, but his stature would have been more nearly that of some of his contemporaries. [92], Augustine was canonized by popular acclaim, and later recognized as a Doctor of the Church in 1298 by Pope Boniface VIII. Augustine is recognized as a saint in the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, and the Anglican Communion.

"[200], Against certain Christian movements, some of which rejected the use of Hebrew Scripture, Augustine countered that God had chosen the Jews as a special people,[201] and he considered the scattering of Jewish people by the Roman Empire to be a fulfillment of prophecy. "[220]:129 The bishops had become the church's elite with their own rationale for acting as "stewards of the truth." [105][106], Like other Church Fathers such as Athenagoras,[107] Tertullian,[108] Clement of Alexandria and Basil of Caesarea,[109] Augustine "vigorously condemned the practice of induced abortion", and although he disapproved of an abortion during any stage of pregnancy, he made a distinction between early and later abortions. [l] Brown asserts that Augustine's thinking on coercion is more of an attitude than a doctrine, since it is "not in a state of rest," but is instead marked by "a painful and protracted attempt to embrace and resolve tensions. For Augustine, proper love exercises a denial of selfish pleasure and the subjugation of corporeal desire to God. [56] It is assumed his mother, Monica, was of Berber origin, on the basis of her name,[57][58] but as his family were honestiores, an upper class of citizens known as honorable men, Augustine's first language was likely Latin.[57]. [f], They would not have fallen into pride and lack of wisdom if Satan hadn't sown into their senses "the root of evil" (radix Mali). Along with John Chrysostom, Augustine was among the most prolific scholars of the early church by quantity. [206] Augustine claims that, following the Fall, sexual lust (concupiscentia) has become necessary for copulation (as required to stimulate male erection), sexual lust is an evil result of the Fall, and therefore, evil must inevitably accompany sexual intercourse (On marriage and concupiscence 1.19, see footnote[207]). Like Augustine, Ambrose was a master of rhetoric, but older and more experienced. Augustine called the use of means to avoid the birth of a child an 'evil work:’ a reference to either abortion or contraception or both. [125], Augustine took the view that, if a literal interpretation contradicts science and humans' God-given reason, the Biblical text should be interpreted metaphorically. [41][42], Augustine was born in 354 in the municipium of Thagaste (now Souk Ahras, Algeria) in the Roman province of Numidia. [238] Edmund Husserl writes: "The analysis of time-consciousness is an age-old crux of descriptive psychology and theory of knowledge. [76], Augustine's mother had followed him to Milan and arranged a respectable marriage for him. When he was a young man, it was inconceivable that the Pax Romana could fall, but in his last year he found himself and his fellow citizens of Hippo prisoners to a siege laid by a motley army of invaders who had swept into Africa across the Strait of Gibraltar.

In January 1327, Pope John XXII issued the papal bull Veneranda Santorum Patrum, in which he appointed the Augustinians guardians of the tomb of Augustine (called Arca), which was remade in 1362 and elaborately carved with bas-reliefs of scenes from Augustine's life.

Augustine censured those who try to prevent the creation of offspring when engaging in sexual relations, saying that though they may be nominally married they are not really, but are using that designation as a cloak for turpitude. Malgré une réputation d’homme infidèle, son père s’est toujours démené pour que ses fils aient une bonne éducation. Therefore, he did not classify as murder the abortion of an "unformed" fetus since he thought it could not be known with certainty the fetus had received a soul. [110][111], Augustine held that "the timing of the infusion of the soul was a mystery known to God alone". [189], The early Christians opposed the deterministic views (e.g., fate) of Stoics, Gnostics, and Manichaeans prevalent in the first four centuries. Naissance à Thagaste d’Augustinus Aurelius.

[112] However, he considered procreation as one of the goods of marriage; abortion figured as a means, along with drugs that cause sterility, of frustrating this good. [110] He acknowledged the distinction between "formed" and "unformed" fetuses mentioned in the Septuagint translation of Exodus 21:22–23, which incorrectly translates the word "harm" (from the original Hebrew text) as "form" in the Koine Greek of the Septuagint.
