[edit] Junk

The "In the arts" section seems to be dross and offal.Lestrade (talk) 17:33, 12 May 2008 (UTC)Lestrade

Dross AND offal. Well excuse me, Mr. SAT.

Also, it would probably be better to say that Augustine promoted the Christian faith rather than the "Catholic" faith as the article states. Most westerners (therefore english speakers) would interpret this as referring to Roman Catholicism, which did not exist as a separate church at this time in history. Yes, I know that Catholic is technically correct from and Orthodox Christian standpoint, but the majority of readers will not know that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.249.246.78 (talk) 04:14, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

I think 'Catholic' is used here in opposition to the various Christian heresies that existed (Arianism, Pelagianism, Donatism). 'Christian' would in this case be too general. Maybe the term 'orthodox' could better be used in this sense. Iblardi (talk) 13:59, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
