	Were the Albigensians Primitive Protestants? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The doctrine of the Cathari went far deeper in its divergence from catholic orthodoxy than even the most radical of attacks on the church and its structures, penetrating to the very center of Christian monotheism, including the doctrines of the trinity and the person of Christ.

		It was likewise a corollary of the dualism of the Cathari that the traditional Christian doctrine of the resurrection of the body was unacceptable.

		But neither does tile Manichean help the human soul by blaspheming God, the Author of the entire man; nor does the Pelagian permit the divine grace to come to the help of human infancy by denying original sin.
		And this is believed by catholics for the sake of the salvation of tile nature of men, without detracting from the praise of marriage; because the praise of marriage is a righteous intercourse of the sexes, not a wicked defence of vices.
		For this faith worketh by love, not according to the letter which killeth, but according to the Spirit which maketh alive, to which grace of God the law, as it were a schoolmaster, leads by deterring from transgression, that so that might be conferred upon man which it could not itself confer.

		Indeed, in his prayers he would assuredly groan and sigh forth particles of God, although these particles of the most high and true God would have remained bound in that fig unless they had been set free by the teeth and belly of some “elect saint”[22]!
		When that woman had begged him to agree to have some discussion with me, to refute my errors, to help me to unlearn evil and to learn the good[24]-- for it was his habit to do this when he found people ready to receive it--he refused, very prudently, as I afterward realized.

		Actually this comes not so much from orthodox Christianity but from the Manichean heresy that Augustine was very concerned to stamp out.
		But, as many people have pointed out, the Manichean heresy has never really been totally eradicated from the thought of Christians and it seems to be particularly strong among American evangelical Christians.
		And undoubtedly Bush is echoing some of that when he says things like "We will call evil by its name." I mean, that is a direct quote from the Book of Revelations and discussions of apocalyptic visions of struggles between good and evil and so on.

		But even afterwards, he has not ceased through errors and heresies to beguile and deceive those who listen to him.
		Before our times, the Church, witnessed variously the godless errors of Arius, Macedonius, Nestorius, Eutyches, Discorus, and a foul host of others, against which the holy Ecumenical Synods were convened, and against which our holy and God-bearing Fathers battled with the sword of the Holy Spirit.
		Therefore, this Synod must be declared and numbered with the six preceding ones, so as to show the union of Christ's Church and deny the godless iconoclasts of the claim that their heresy was condemned by only one throne.

		Clement also worked to clarify the early creeds of Christianity, using philosophical notions of substance, being, and person, in order to combat heresies.
		Augustine argued further that the final authority for the determination of the use of reason in faith lies not with the individual, but with the Church itself.
		His battle with the Manichean heresy prompted him to realize that the Church is indeed the final arbiter of what cannot be demonstrated--or can be demonstrated but cannot be understood by all believers.
