ECT ST. AUGUSTINE ON THE TRUE CHURCH FOUNDED BY CHRIST

Your church admits it, while denying it.

Better read it again. The Catholic Church---of which St. Augustine was a bishop---ultimately never charged him with affirming a view of predestination that is in accord with the Calvinist (mis)understanding.

Therein, you see why it's necessary for your church to declare infallibility- they are right even why they are wrong.

Your error here is in assuming that that one historic Church founded by Jesus Christ in 33 A.D., and against which he declared that the gates of Hades would never prevail (Mt. 16:18)---the Church whose teachings Christ equated with his very own in truth and authority (Lk. 10:16)---could ever formally teach doctrinal or moral error. Christ's Church teaches that it is infallible in her official doctrines precisely because---by the action of the Holy Spirit---Christ's Church DOES teach infallibly and bindingly (1 Tim. 3:15; Ac. 16:4; 2 Thess. 3:4; 1 Jn. 4:6).

Augustine was philosophically a Stoic, and never came off it if you would like to actually read the City of God.

Congratulations on your latest false assumption. I read The City of God years ago in seminary. Nice try, though.
