Document Summary
Augustine: wild youth, wrote book called the confessions; penance for his past deeds, largely viewed as synthesizer of platonic philosophy and christian, catholic saint; 354-430 bce, church father and philosopher. Marriage: jovian; there is one reward in the kingdom of heaven for all who have kept their baptismal vow, jerome; i beg the reader not to be disturbed if he is compelled to read. He will all the more gladly dink christ"s antidote after the devil"s poisonous concoction: marriage is procreation of children (not for pleasure, having kids to connect), fidelity with the couple, sacramental bond good thing to. Why celibacy: st paul, suggest that celibacy is to be desired. An objection: abelard; wrote love letters, her studies allowed us to withdraw ni private, as love desired, and then without books open before us more words of love than reading passed between us and more kissing than teaching.
