#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.
