Rome claims they do nothing apart from the unanimous consent of the fathers.
Yet, when one actually examines Rome's claims and what the ECFs wrote one finds the ECFs are not in unanimous consent on many issues near and dear to Roman Catholicism.
And this business of uncovering truths hidden??? There is no hidden truth.
We have all we need on how to have a saving faith in Christ and only Christ through Scripture.
Jesus made that quite clear in John's Gospel. He repeated that time and again. As a Catholic I wonder and question the need for secrecy in the dealing of the Prelates. That secrecy is why they are subject to scandal time and again.
