History of the Christian Church Vol II P 246 Philip Schaff, "It was the universal faith of the ... doctrine of original sin and the necessity of infant Baptism" "He (Pelagius) blamed Rome's moral laxity on the doctrine of divine grace (as taught by Augustine) He attacked this teaching on the grounds that it imperilled the entire moral law. He thus reasoned that if a man were not himself responsible for his good and evil deeds, there was nothing to restrain him from indulgence in sin. Pelagus soon gained a considerable following at Rome" Calvinism: "A comprehensive theological system chiefly distinguished by its view of God and His relationship to man.
