Description
Augustine of Hippo, who, scarcely one year after his death, was called "one of the best teachers" of the Church by Pope Saint Celestine I, has been present ever since in the life of the Church and in the mind and culture of the whole western world. In a similar fashion, other Roman Pontiffs have proposed the example of his way of life and the writings that embody his teachings as an object of contemplation and imitation, and very many Councils have often drawn copiously from his writings. - Saint John Paul II
