Quotes from St. Augustine's Confessions (Final post)

« Reply #5 on: April 14, 2024, 07:25:56 PM »

I'm treating this thread as a repository of quotes that caught my attention about the book. It doesn't have structure or consistency, it's just a bunch of ideas that I would like to preserve somewhere to revisit periodically.

However, check it out and maybe you'll find some that may catch your attention. If you haven't read the book I hope this thread inspires you to do it.

The Spanish translation that I read can be consulted here: Confesiones | Biblioteca Virtual Miguel de Cervantes (cervantesvirtual.com). It's not clear to me who was the translator, but the presentation was written by one I. Quiles, a Jesuit it seems.

The English translation from which I copied and pasted the quotes was done by E. B. Pusey (Edward Bouverie) and may be found here: The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Confessions of Saint Augustine, by Saint Augustine

Founded in 2006, CathInfo is the largest English-language forum dedicated to fostering community and discussion among the Traditional Catholic remnant, scattered throughout the world, who strive to take the Faith seriously and learn the truth about all things sacred and secular.

CathInfo provides information, news, and discussion, as well as a place to meet fellow Traditional Catholics for friendship and support in our struggles with the Modern World.

We welcome the largest possible number of faithful Traditional Catholics of good will, from all backgrounds and walks of life, who are able to coexist in the same virtual space with those holding a wide variety of viewpoints on the Crisis in the Church, which began around 1965 with Vatican II.

CathInfo embodies the maxim: "in necessariis unitas, in dubiis libertas, in omnibus caritas." which translates: "In necessary things unity, in doubtful things liberty, in all things charity."

Therefore we allow as much free discussion as possible, and moderate posts only rarely. Think "free speech" minus anything sinful.

CathInfo is the de-facto discussion headquarters for the SSPX Resistance, which it officially supports.
Traditional Catholics worldwide have made us the #1 forum for SSPX Resistance news and discussion in the English-speaking world.
