About this Episode

St. Augustine begins an overview of his infancy and childhood. Here, he reflects on the many relationships in his life both familial and peer. As he describes these relationships, St. Augustine also ponders the roots of disobedience and vice that he sees growing in himself at this point in his life. This requires us to consider the role of Original Sin in our lives. Are the effects of Original Sin even tangible in young children? Fr. Gregory Pine and Fr. Jacob-Bertrand Janczyk explore these topics and questions in today’s episode. Today’s readings are Book 1, Chapters 7-10.
