Pelagianism
| The teachings of the British Christian theologian Pelagius (360–420). He taught the primacy of individual free will committed to perfectionist ideas. The Roman Catholic Church officially banned the teaching, which denied original sin and granted salvation to unbaptized infants. Pelagianism is optimistic about human nature and opposed to Manichaeism, which encouraged moral pessimism. |
