Citing a Catholic council, presided over by Catholic bishops (a few of them saints). All about the teachings of St. Augustine, a Catholic bishop and Doctor of the Church, on grace, freedom, and the effects of original sin. Heck, this line is even included:
The Council held to Augustine's view and repudiated Pelagius. The following canons greatly influenced the Reformed doctrine of Total Depravity.I'd argue with the Reformed conclusion, but--again. The canons of a Catholic council, assembled under the authority of Catholic bishops...
Heck, whaddya know? A whole lot of other councils are cited as authoritative on the site as well!
• The Nicene CreedAnd their mates in the Catholic Encyclopedia:
• The Athanasian Creed
• The Definition of Chalcedon
• The Anathemas of the Second Council of Constantinople (553 A.D.)
The Nicene CreedSo that means...what, that Reformed theology depends upon the Church, gathered in council with the approval of the bishops in the apostolic succession, making authoritative interpretations of Scripture and the faith handed on from the Apostles?
The Athanasian Creed
The Definition of Chalcedon
The Anathemas of the Second Council of Constantinople (553 A.D.)
