How did St Augustines idiosyncratic views on the effects of original sin and on the politics of the church and state come to be accepted in the fifth and sixth centuries by the Catholic church?
David92198
Between St. Paul in the first century, and St. Thomas in the 13th century, there were less than a handful of men with the towering intellect that God could use to explain His Word. Altogether there were four of them in the West in the early Middle Ages, known as the Great Doctors of the Church, St. Gregory the Great, St. Ambrose, St. Augustine, and St. Jerome. These men were acknowleged early on because of the insights and the writings they left behind as four pillars of Western Spirituality. St. Augustine's development of theology was singular in the Church until St. Thomas Aquinas many centuries later, and the "four Doctors" became a commonplace among the Scholastics, and a decree of Boniface VIII (1298) ordering their feasts to be kept as doubles in the whole Church is contained in his sixth book of Decretals.
