Is Saint Augustine Of Hippo A Father Of The Church

Is Saint Augustine Of Hippo A Father Of The Church
By Fr. John Romanides

AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO, THE Grounds OF THE Funny ERRORS OF BARLAAM

Although all the Papacy and the Protestants have available theologically joined all Saints Ambrose and Jerome with Augustine, the following has no theological description with the past. Both Ambrose and Jerome belong to the tradition of the Roman Ecumenical Councils. However, Augustine is the for one person station of the amusing errors of Barlaam the Calabrian who was accused of heresy by St. Gregory Palamas and was condemned as a heretic by the Councils of Constantinople New Rome rumored in 1341, 1347 and 1351 for his teaching that God reveals his stimulus to humans by alleyway of creatures which He brings into being there to be seen and heard and which He passes back into non-existence taking into account the revelations have available been upright.

Such revelations have available been theoretically recorded in the Bible while they were sealed by the Biblical writers.

This baloney cannot be termed a heresy back it is too irrational.

In any example these positions of Augustine have available remained the bravery of all Protestantism and the Papacy.

Augustine describes these positions in sonorous insignificance which he repeats pompous and pompous again in the nether books of his "DE TRINITATE".

IS AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO A Boon OF THE CHURCH?

Rank Fathers of the Church are group who practice the person Old and New Tribute delight of this weakness of religion. Intimates who do not practice this delight, but on the different have available introduced such practices as pagan mysticism, are not Fathers within this tradition.

Rank Religion is not "mystical," but "secret" (mystike). The relieve for this name "Inward bound" is that the take pride of God in the hold of devotion (theosis) has no picture anything with anything twisted. On the different the Augustinians doubt that they are heart colleague with uncreated most basic relevant of God of which creatures are theoretically copies and which exactly do not attitude.

In this regard Augustine's teaching on most basic sin, i.e. his understanding of Rom. 5:12, and so relatable questions in the vicinity mysticism, were highest condemned by the School assembly of Orange in 529 and in the same way by the Ninth Roman Ecumenical School assembly of 1341 in the map of Barlaam the Calabrian. The Fathers of this following School assembly were not aware that the heresies of Barlaam they were condemning stemmed from Augustine. With in 1957 the force of the Researcher of Athens as it should be the doctoral piece on "Ethnic Sin" of John S. Romanides which had identified that the very presuppositions of Augustine's theology based on "analogia entis" and "analogia fidei" has minute allowance in typical with the Fathers of the Roman Ecumenical Councils. Augustine had not been in the Reference book of the Church of Greece. He was even more now the arena of the tyranny of the colonels who uncanonicaly appointed Boon Jerome Kotsonis as Archbishop of Athens (1968-1974) who was known for his non-patristic suggestion. It was he who even more Augustine to the Church Reference book of the Church of Greece.

Up until the 14th century distinct the hoodlum three chapters of Augustine's "De Trinitate" had been translated into Greek. These chapters are fine Rank. He tells us himself that he looked-for to amend his "De Trinitate" which the Archbishop of Carthage Aurlean looked-for to observe, but from top to bottom corrected what he can. Having in custody these three Rank chapters of Augustine, the Roman Queen and his bishops at the School assembly of Ferrara and Florence (1438-1442) became fine knotted by the theological questionnaire heart second hand hand over by the Frankish theologians and throughout that the Franks had tampered with the works of Augustine.

Gennadius Scholarius, the highest Patriarch of Constantinople New Rome in the rear the Turkish skyjack in 1453, had been at the School assembly of Ferrara/Florence (1438-1442) as a layman. He had brought back to Constantinople manuscripts of Augustine and throughout the consequent about his positions on the system of belief of the Spiritual Trinity which are admiringly not due to tampering. He takes Augustine to responsibility as follows:

"To say that the Hypostasis of the Spirit comes or returns from the Son, that is to say that It holds its being there from him, not distinct as consequence of the love for us, or of love in itself, but in the same way as the love of the Boon and the Son for each other, burgeoning from one to go to the other, the Boon heart the highest bringer and reaction in turn the Son, all this is excruciating grossness...But does one find admiringly commence, in the sacred books, that the Spiritual Spirit is the reciprocal love of the Boon and the Son, Who love each other, and Who derives his being there from the Two. In which sacred spoils has this sacred dogma been hidden? And how did it escape the make out of the other Fathers who, silent have available examined all with sonorous care?"

Persuaded some centuries nether, proper in the rear the Norman invasion, the exact Lombard Archbishop of Canterbury Anselm (1093-1109) was not cheerful with Augustine's use of fleet in his "De Trinitate" XV, 47, "i.e." that the Spiritual Spirit returns principaliter from the Boon or from the Boon "per Filium". (See Anselm's own "De fide Trinitate" chapters 15, 16 and 24). This West Roman Rank Filioque, which cross Anselm so meaningfully, can not be even more to the doctrine of 381 where "fleet" hand over alleyway hypostatic behavior and not the communion of divine essence as in Augustine's Filioque proper quoted.

Augustine is genuinely Rank by principle by his favor to be corrected. The real worry is that he does not theologize from the vantage juncture of human being theosis or devotion, but as one who speculates philosophically on the Bible with no real produce in the Patristic tradition. Moreover, his whole theological questionnaire is based on joyfulness as the stoke of luck of man quite of biblical devotion. His resulting questionnaire of "analogia entis" and "analogia fidei" is not accurate by any Rank Boon of the Church. In any example no Rank can agree to positions of Augustine on which the Father's of Ecumenical Councils are in consent "vs." him. This website (www.romanity.org) is not convoluted with whether Augustine is a saint or a Boon of the Church. In attendance is no niggle that he was Rank by principle and asked for correction. However, he can not be second hand in such a way that his opinions may be put on an match up rank with the Fathers of Ecumenical Councils.
