Augustine of Hippo was a saint. He was also a Latin Church father and responsible for the development of western chirstianity. He was the framer of the concepts of original sin and just war. He also developed the concept of the Church. He was extremely religious and was though that he could heal the sick. He proved this wrong when he said "Don't you think that I would have applied it to myself first". This shows that he could not heal the sick and he died that summer August 28,430. He lived seventy six years and devoted his life to the Church.
