You suppose that's where +Ignatius might have gotten his idea?

Ah, but if memory serves me correctly, these writings are not "inspired" writings. Do you believe that every idea that popped into the Apostle Paul, John or Peter's head apart from what the Church has stated to be inspired was a direct oracle from God? For that matter, would you say that Ignatius' writings are inspired? I believe the Church has taken the position that they were not.

Surely you don't mean to suggest that the Apostles taught +Ignatius erroneous things or remained silent if his teahcings were erroneous?

Surely you are not suggesting that the Gospel of +John is not inspired are you? If that Gospel was inspired of God, something we know because the One, Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church (not Calvin or anyone else) has told us so, why do Protestants reject its words on the Eucharist and, for that matter, +Ignatius' Eucharistic theology which he learned from +John? +John didn't reject him.
