Saint Augustine - Bishop and Doctor of the Church

Born : 13th November 354, Tagaste, Algeria
Died: 28th August 430 (aged 75), Hippo Regius
Feast: 28th August

Saint Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, was a philosopher and theologian. Augustine, a Latin Father and Doctor of the Church, is one of the most important figures in the development of Western Christianity. He framed the concepts of original sin and just war. When Rome fell and the faith of many Christians was shaken, Augustine developed the concept of the Church as a spiritual City of God, distinct from the material City of Man. Augustine's work defined the start of the medieval worldview, an outlook that would later be firmly established by Gregory the Great.
