Why did the Celtic church differ from the kind of Christianity that was being preached by St. Augustine?

St. Augustine repented of his sins of the flesh and became a doctor of the Roman Catholic Church. Many think that his repentance and anxiety about falling inot sin again has left the Catholic church with two major positions that are not especially helpful. First it made the church obsessed with sexual sins and second, extremely suspect of women so that to this day, women are not allowed to be priests in the Catholic church. St. Augustine also is responsible for the doctrine of Original Sin. As a result of his teaching of original sin, he argued with Pelagius and was largely responsible for Pelagius being condmened as a heretic and for the abandonment of Celtic Christianity to the highlands of Scotland. Were it not for Augustine, Christianity would have had a much more positive outlook on human nature and human outlook on all creation.
