They weren't if this author is to be believed. And apparently the Irish Catholics had some run in with the Continental Catholics at some old Synod- after the time of Patrick, when the Irish went out as missionaries to Europe. But as I said, I know nothing about this period. However, my interest has been piqued and I will shortly know more.

Luther was an Augustinian eremite, but the theology of the Augustinians was not Augustinian. "It is a mistake to suppose that because they bore the name of Augustine, the evangelical theology of the great Western father was known to them." Lindsey, p. 199 History of the Reformation v. 1. Luther considered Wm of Occam, his "dear Master". Later -- 1515-16 or so, Luther rediscovered Augustine and became committed to justification by faith, and an enemy of church corruption. On November 1 (All Saints Day), 1517, he nailed his 95 theses (in Latin) in an invitation to academic debate on the door of the Church of All Saints (Castle Church). Good move, Martin!
