[Cronos]

For example, you can read where the Bishop Serapion of Antioch (one of the Pentarchy) in 191 intervened in a town in Cilicia to ensure the orthodoxy of the faith against Gnosticism

The Bishops/Elders of the various places taught by the Apostles had their duty to ensure the faith as handed down from Jesus Christ through the Apostles was correctly handed down to later generations. Just as the various disciples (such as Thaddeus of Edessa) were in obedience to the Apostles (such as St. Peter) and the Apostles to Christ, so too were the descendent bishops in obedience on dogma to the bishops of the pentarchy and in obedience to Christ

Christ did not establish multiple brides but one Bride.

[The Theophilus]

Christ did not establish multiple brides but one Bride.

Amen.
