That’s not what I said. He was spouting Manicaean heresies before he was baptized by St. Ambrose, not afterwards. Look at the daily thread for St. Augustine to read the details.
“That’s not what I said. He was spouting Manicaean heresies before he was baptized by St. Ambrose, not afterwards.”
Which is basically what I already said, though I didn’t mention Ambrose. So I’m wondering now what the point of this post is, or what the point of your previous posts are. And why you are telling me things that I told you, and asking me to look them up on the Augustine thread, when really I’m enough of a library myself already. So you ought to consult me instead if you want to know the details about anything.
By the way, to say he was “spouting Manichean heresies before he was baptized” is actually inaccurate. It was a very long process, this conversion, which started with the fact that the Manicheans were unable to satisfy his questions. After having his confidence broken in them, he then, slowly but surely, got on the path to Christianity. He wasn’t spouting one day, and then was a Christian the other just because Ambrose caught him and dunked him in water.
