"The "revealed" belief of the Eucharist and Mary Eucharist didn't happened for about six hundred years later."

Not sure what "Mary Eucharist" is, but as for the doctrine of the Eucharist, well that's fully expounded, developed and in all ways identical with today's theology of The Church in +Ignatius of Antioch in the 1st, early 2nd centuries. By the late 4th century, when the Desert Fathers began writing, they all, every one of them, refer continually to the Eucharist, usually in passsing so it doesn't signify that this was any new idea, and always espousing the exact same theology about the Eucharist that The Church does today. Where did you get the idea that the Church's doctrines about the Eucharist developed in the 9-1000's?

"As Augustine noted in a Treatise on Predestination, he received his instruction from others in the Church. Augustine was not at odds with what the Church was teaching at the time. He was actually quite consistent with what was taught."

+Augustine's speculations on predestination were his own alone. If he picked up that idea from others, they weren't among the recognized Fathers (except perhaps from some of the writings of Tertullian that The Church anathemized, or those of Origen which met the same fate). His theories on predestination and even on what he calls "Original Sin" were far outside the consensus patrum.
