[Athanasias]

What do you all think of St. Augustines view of the creation and fall of the angels in Genesis? I like it.

I am not so sure about that. I have to read what he says on that, Could you provide an example?

My understanding is that St. Augustine drew a distinction between "true" and "fact", much as I do. All of Sacred Scripture is true, even if it isn't necessarily literal, historical fact.
