Augustine was one of the greatest Latin Church Fathers and a significant influence in the formation of Western Christianity, including Lutheranism. The Order of St. Augustine, also known as the Augustinians, is a long-standing religious order with thousands of members worldwide. Two well-known Augustinians are Martin Luther and Pope Leo XIV, the first pope from the Order of St. Augustine.
