In Saint Augustin’s footsteps
St Augustine is regarded as “The father of Roman Catholicism “or “The doctor of grace” because he preached peace and tolerance. All his thought was concentrated on God and the destiny of man.
Saint Augustine is also the founding father of the African monasticism. He hoped that Catholicism should be a religion of love. He was also the most humble churchman of his time. Aurelus began his studies first in Thaghast, then he went to Carthage to further his education like other promising Numidian students. He lived during the end of the Roman Empire.
