Claudiukseen vaikutti hyvin paljon Augustinus. Hän opetti kuitenkin kirjoituksissaan, että pelkkä usko on tarpeeksi pelastumista varten. Hän vastusti paavin valtaa, rukouksia kuolleille ja katolisia perinteitä.^[3] Claudius vastusti myös pyhiinvaelluksia syntien anteeksiannon saamiseen ja uskoi, että kaikki piispat ovat tasa-arvoisia.^[4]

Claudius havaitsi, että italialaiset kirkot olivat täynnä kuvia ja ”kuvanpalvojia”. Vaikka hänelle kerrottiin, että ihmiset eivät kunnioittaneet itse kuvia, vaan niissä kuvattuja ihmisiä, Claudius piti sitä silti pakanallisena käytäntönä ja väitti, että pakanat käyttivät samanlaisia argumentteja kuvien käyttöön. ^[1]

He is severe against the doctrine of human merits, and of the exaltation of traditions to a height of credibility equal to that of the divine word. He maintains that we are to be saved by faith alone; holds the fallibility of the church, exposes the futility of praying for the dead, and the sinfulness of the idolatrous practices then supported by the Roman see.
