I am sure that he meant St Augustine...
He is responsible for a lot of the church doctrine that comes out of 
the era... including promulgating the formerly Manichean (a quasi 
Christian sect he belonged to in his wilder youth) Doctrine of Good 
and Evil, God and Devil, being opposite and constantly warring forces.
He was a prolific writer and Christian philosopher, and basically 
crushed the Pelagian "heresy".
