and that's the big question with Kate's line of thinking which, while I don't outright disagree with it, causes me to not quite assent to it either... which I guess makes me one of those "semi-pelagians"
Wouldn't be the first time I disagreed with St. Augustine. Maybe it's an "Irish thing".

Yep... you just disagreed with him on infant baptism, too
But I rather thought this idea of internal calling was very Augustinian... not that I've specifically read it in him but it certainly seems very much more Platonic than Aristotelian-- that is to say, more like Auggie than Tommy.

As I understand it (which is "barely"), the "call" is common to both, but the emphasis on response is more Pelagian than Augustinian. And you already know my stance on Adam and original sin.
