'''Pelagianism''' is a heretical [[Christian]] doctrine developed by a British monk named Pelagius around 400 AD. Although he was British, Pelagius mostly wrote in [[Rome]], where he came to the attention of the [[Roman Catholic]] authorities who declared his teachings heretical. {{fact}} Pelagianism denied the Catholic doctrines of orginal sin, the divinity of Jesus, and salvation by grace. He held that salvation was achieved through one's own efforts, and was not a gift from above. Pelagianism quickly became popular in Pelagius's homeland, [[Britain]], where the authorities were gradually becoming disillusioned with the Roman Empire and the religion it stood for, [[Roman Catholicism]]. The British would finally withdraw from the [[Roman Empire]] in 410 AD.{{fact}}
