I know :-) However, the later stuff I posted pointed out that the doctrines of the church were formed on the unanimous writings of the Fathers. Ain't no such animal as unanimous writings of the Father. And at what point do the writings of the leaders of the Church fail to represent Church doctrine to the extent that the church is unrecognizable by its chief adherents. (Poorly worded, but I think my point comes through)

"Unanimous" doesn't appear to mean what we would think it means. I don't think it ever did mean that every one of the Church fathers had to agree on something.

If its useful to support the present teaching, it is used as evidence. If not, it is mere opinion.
