#426 – A History of the Catholic Church – The Tractoria of Zosimus

February 2, 2018 – 8:00 pm

Pope Zosimus’ attempt to navigate the Pelagian Controversy runs up against the desires of the North African bishops, the bishops of Italy and Emperor Honorius. After Zosimus’ death, the Church of Rome again divides over his successor. A new figure rises to confront Augustine on the importance of free will.

#418 – A History of the Catholic Church – Sin and Free Will

December 8, 2017 – 8:00 pm

This week we begin our look at the controversy over Pelagianism as the Church seeks to understand our capacity to do the good and avoid the evil. Differences in the views of the Churches of the East and North Africa will make establishing a common position much more difficult.
