Saint Augustine
Do not say: "How is it that former times were better than these?" For it is not out of wisdom that you ask about this.
Ecclesiastes (7:10)
Is there any affliction now endured by mankind that was not endured by our fathers before us? What sufferings of ours even bear comparison with what we know of their sufferings? And yet you hear people complaining about this present day and age because things were so much better in former times. I wonder what would happen if they were taken back to the days of their ancestors — would we not still hear them complaining? You may think past ages were good, but it is only because you are not living in them.
Saint Augustine
i find it so funny that jd vance is trying to invoke just war theory in response to the Pope’s criticism of the Iran war like Leo isn’t a member of the Order of Saint Augustine (in fact he’s the first Augustinian Pope).
i know for a fact the dude just asked chatgpt to give him a catholic justification for war and hasn’t read a single thing Saint Augustine wrote (hell id be amazed if he’s read the bible)

The Conversion of Saint Augustine, Fra Angelico, 1435
This 15th century Italian manuscript contains the text of treatise called De spiritu et anima, claiming it is by St. Augustine, but it's actually a text called De anima et spiritu by Alcherus of Clairvaux. Also includes an unidentified theological text, erroneously identified in the manuscript as St. Augustine's Soliloquia. (UPenn Ms. Codex 17)
