If Rome was known as Babylon, then why didn't all the "Fathers" refer to the Church of Babylon instead of the Church of Rome?

Again, another argument from silence. You seem to have a thought pattern that makes frequent use of and gives great weight to arguments from silence. A review of the basic informal fallacies might be helpful to you.

You still have shown us no other "Father" of the early Church to attest to Peter's 25 year bishopric? They are all so silent. You said that there were so many. Where are they? They too must be arguing from silence. Right???

Was that your answer to the question?

to be any more of an infallible description of REALITY than . . . say . . . Papal encyclicals have been . . .

to me, anyway.
