Oh, this is excellent, and illustrates exactly why Athanasius is such a champion of the Tradition. He participated in the Council of Nicaea and vigorously defended the validity and authority of its doctrines: thus he was a defender of Sacred Tradition.

He was the author of the Athanasian Creed (Link), a basic statement of the Catholic faith (as he says in its first line)(tip'o'the hat to the Orthodox as well); he defended the Incarnation and the Trinity; thus he was a contributor to the Sacred Tradition.

Very much so. His creed is the most definitive Christian Creed. And, as you have very well pointed out, he was a most orthodox Catholic and promulgated the Faith very very well.

Thank you. Implying that Athanasius was some kind of Sola Scriptura Proto-Protestant, is like saying Colonel Sanders was a vegetarian.
