15. The Early Middle Ages - Daily Life for Believers
• Daily Life in the West
• Augustine of Canterbury - Example of Continued Evangelism
• Patrick and the Evangelization of the Irish
• Living with the Threat of Invasion
• Forced Conversion in a Violent Age
Thank you Pastor Guzik! While it is disappointing that the expression of Christian faith has seen so many errors, heresies and clearly wrong actions like forced conversions (see 30 ~ minutes), it speaks strongly for God's eternal love and mercies toward humankind. Thank you, again, for these informative lectures.
I'm especially grateful for your slide titled "Roman Catholic Church--Development of Doctrine & Practice." I was raised Roman Catholic and converted to Protestantism decades ago, but I never thought to research the origins of the RC traditions I disagreed with such as revering the pope (to the point of worship), canonization, repetitive prayers, or praying to any entity other than our triune God. These traditions may be labeled as part of "orthodox" worship, but how many Catholics know they are neither based on scripture nor did they exist until long after the apostolic age?
Agree. I recall a brother who rejected Patrick because he was a Catholic Saint, until he learned that much that Protestants consider to be the departures of the Roman Catholic doctrines from Biblical Christianity occurred long after Patrick lived and died.
Thank you again DAVID
This is absolutely brillant. Thank you Pastor Guzik. And thanking God for how He uses you in the relam of Teaching. God bless you and may He strengthen and replenish you as you pour out . In Jesus name. Amen

At the 13 minute mark, the timeline is off and lacks accuracy.
- Latin began in the 4th century when it became the language of the Church. This is evidenced by Jerome's Vulgate translation of the scriptures.
- Prayers directed to the saints has always been a practice of the Church with the oldest prayer to Mary found on the original papyrus date to around 250AD.
- Veneration of the cross and relics began in the early 4th century. The catacombs reveal that relics of the saints has always existed. This is especially evidenced by the martyrdom of Polycarp in 156AD.
- The college of cardinals began at the beginning of the 6th century.
- Obligation to attend Mass on Sunday became a Church law in the 4th century
- Peter the Hermit has never been associated with the rosary as this belongs to Dominic in the early 11th century. It wasn't invented but a gift from Heaven.
Because of the brutal treatment by the Donatists toward Augustine's ambassadors (Augustine's own life was threatened on several occasions), Augustine approved rigid laws, but he never wanted heresy to be punished by death.
Extract from "Augustine's Punishments" - Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 October 2016
During Augustine's life, government authorities were generally friendly to the Christianity he came to adopt and defend. His correspondence mentions one imperial magistrate in Africa, Virius Nicomachus Flavianus, a pagan vicar of Africa who seemed partial to Donatist Christians whom Augustine considered secessionists. Otherwise, from the 390s to 430, assorted proconsuls, vicars, and tribunes sent from the imperial chancery and asked to maintain order in North Africa were willing to enforce government edicts against Donatists and pagans. To an extent, Augustine endorsed enforcement. He was troubled by punitive measures that looked excessive to him, yet scholars generally agree with Peter Burnell that Augustine unambiguously approved punitive judgments as an “unavoidable” necessity. But Burnell and others seem to make too much of it: Augustine's position on punishment supposedly indicates that he posited “an essential continuity” (rather than emphasized the contrast) between “any given state” and the celestial or “eschatological” city of God.
