1)Roman Catholicism
2)Eastern Orthodoxy
3)Protestantism

Often times when discussing Augustine, i have heard Protestants and Catholics use him in their apologetics against each other, especially when it comes to arguments concerning Grace, Predestination(Calvinists) and Original Sin, and Papal Primacy. Eastern Orthodox Christians also recognize him as a Saint as well.

Its pretty interesting then, i wonder which branch of Christianity he would feel more comfortable with if he were still alivehttp://www.keyforex.info/iPad.gif

RCC, no doubt.
 
Well, the Catholic Church has Augustinians plus Orders that use the Rule of Augustine, so I’ll go with Catholicism.
 
Well St Augustine was a Catholic, St Augustine is SAINT Augustine, so I acan only conclude he would be Catholic!
 
He’d submit to the Authority of the Catholic Church. While he was alive and writing, there was One Church and some hersey’s that detracted from the Church. He submitted to that Church and submitted to the Authority of the See of Peter. I’m sure he’d have his disagreements on some things, but his writings never suggest that he would break from the Church to whom he submitted…the Church that Christ established.
 
Perhaps he’d be a non-conformist United Unitarian continuing church Quaker Baptist Church of Conformist non-Conformitarianism-ist.
 
There are no branches of Christianity. There is the one, holy, catholic and apostolic church Jesus founder. The rest are properly called ecclesiastical communities.

Yay! Correct! Right! That’s the truth! 😃
 
The EO reject his teaching on original sin to my understanding.

Also, to my understanding, Protestants reject his Ecclesiology and most reject his Sacramentalism.

Then there is his submission to Rome (which many Protestants and perhaps EO would dispute) which is the clincher (besides the fact that the Catholic Church is the One True Church and he would never separate himself from Her as others have pointed out–but our non-Catholic brothers & sisters would not concede this point.)

Let him speak for himself…

“I should not believe the Gospel except as moved by the authority of the Catholic Church.”
Saint Augustine (354-430), Against the Fundamental Epistle of Manichaeus, Chapter 5,6, 397 A.D.
