Abstract

The article compares the ecclesiological vision of the young Carl Schmitt in The Visibility of the Church with that of Augustine in The City of God. From this brief comparison, it emerges that the former emphasizes the weight of the law, while the latter emphasizes love in the renewal of the Catholic Church.
