Indeed. And I'm sure the "great council" will base it on some sort of "tradition" stringing together a verse from this church father and a verse from another until everyone comes to a general understanding, making it seem as these differences are nothing.

LOL! Its called "nuancing"! On the other hand, Rome might just say, "Ok, you were right. Have it your way then!" :)
But you don't have to worry about it because it doesn't concern you at all, since you are not in the Church. So why don't you just stick to your own traditions. If you want answers, you are welcome to ask, but if all you want is something to chew on, kindly direct your disagreements with your community — there's a lot more variety there.
The Church is the way it is, even if you don't understand it, HD. I think you will be much happier swapping verses with your sola scriptura folks.
