Description
Excerpt from The Lives of the British Saints, Vol. 3 of 4: The Saints of Wales and Cornwall and Such Irish Saints as Have Dedications in Britain
There can be no doubt but that Faustus, in common with S. Hilary Of Arles and other Gallic saints, viewed with alarm the iron dogma Of predestination to which Augustine was endeavouring to commit the Church; and which finally broke forth in all its Offensiveness in the heresy of Calvin. Faustus saw that the doctrine, logically carried out and acted upon, cut at the roots of Christian morality, and fatally affected the fulness of the redemptive work of Christ. Benedictus Paulinus consulted Faustus on questions concerning repentance. The answer of the Bishop of Riez was I am asked whether the know ledge Oi the Trinity in Unity suffices to salvation in things divine; I answer, a rational grasp Of the faith is not all that is required Of us.
