St. Augustine on abortion

[goldenchild17]

[b]Augustine of Hippo[/b]

“Therefore brothers, you see how perverse they are and hastening wickedness, who are immature, they seek abortion of the conception before the birth; they are those who tell us, "I do not see that which you say must be believed."([i]Sermon[/i] 126, line 12

what work is that from? in his [url="http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/1603.htm"][b]Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament[/b][/url], there are only 97 sermons

[peach_cube]

Jurgens has it as just "Sermons" from the Maurist edition, commonly refered to as the vulgate?

Jurgens treats them seperately from Enarrationes in psalmos, In Iohannis evangelium tractatus, and In epistulam Iohannis ad Parthos tractatus.

errr, maybe the reference is bad...

This is where I got it from... [url="http://www.priestsforlife.org/magisterium/earlychurchfathers/augustine.html"]http://www.priestsforlife.org/magisterium/.../augustine.html[/url]

You had it in the reference section. That's what you get, you need to do more homework

Umm, well I'm still not sure how to label it(for my Church Father abortion testimony).
