There is the Augustine Institute, Graduate School in Colorado, USA and there is the St. Augustine Institute of Wisdom, at the St. Benedict Center,New Hampshire,USA. I would recommend the latter

There is the Augustine Institute, Graduate School in Colorado, USA and there is the St. Augustine Institute of Wisdom, at the St. Benedict Center,New Hampshire,USA.

At the former Dr. Douglas Bushman( Steubenville/Ave Maria University) teaches and at the latter Sister Maria Philomena MICM.

The liberal Augustine Institute has a Bishops Advisory Board( see below) and the traditional St. Augustine Institute of Wisdon is under a bishop's prohibition.

At both, Colorado and New Hampshire they have been interpreting Vatican Council II with a false premise, inference and conclusion.This is another example of the wide spread theological division in the Catholic Church.It is caused by the fake premise approved by the USCCB and the Vatican.

For the former there are known and visible exceptions to extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS)and so not every one needs to enter the Catholic Church for salvation. While for the latter there are no exceptions to EENS and all need Catholic faith and the baptism of water to avoid Hell( for salvation).

At the former there is the New Evangelisation which is Christocentric and supports the New Ecumenism.Since for them EENS has exceptions.While at the latter there is the Old Evangelisation and the old Ecumenism of Return.They are Christocentric and also Ecclesiocentric.

At the former they accept Vatican Council II with the fake premies, inference and conclusion and so reject EENS ( Feeneyite). They accept a new version of EENS. It is EENS with exceptions. At the latter they reject Vatican Council II with the false premise( as all good Catholics should do) and go back to EENS with no exceptions; the EENS of Fr.Leonard Feeney, Brother Francis Malus MICM and Sister Catherine Clarke Goddard MICM.

The former interpret Vatican Council II and the Creeds and Catechisms with a false premise creating a hermeneutic of rupture with Tradition. The latter side steps Vatican Council II interpreted irrationally.They simply go back to Tradition.

I would recommend the latter. -Lionel Andrades

The Saint Augustine Institute of Wisdom* (SAI) is the educational division of Saint Benedict Center. The Institute provides well-rounded and conveniently simple courses of instruction in Catholic thought.

The classes available through SAI are a continuation of the studies which have been offered at Saint Benedict Center since 1942. Our teachers are the Popes, the Councils, the Saints, the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, and, most especially, Holy Scripture and Catholic Tradition.

The Saint Augustine Institute of Wisdom is a vehicle for continued adult education for Catholic men and women, in any occupation in life, increasing their knowledge of the Faith and things pertaining to it.

In order to give the studies form and purpose, the four-year program – with a Diploma in General Catholic Education – lies at the heart of SAI. However, with hundreds of hours of recorded lectures, SAI is a resource for a lifetime of learning.
