Irenaeus comments would not square with the Council of Oranges decrees.

If they did not square, then Irenaeus's view, as closer to the apostolic teaching, would have prevailed.

However, the contradiction between Irenaeus and Orange does not exist, as the quotation you chose shows. The contradiction is with Calvin's teaching on depravity of man and predestination of the reprobates.

What particular comments from Calvin do you have in mind?

Since Irenaeus was only one person, wouldn't you also need to demonstrate this was the universal position of the church?
