On the contrary. This article is posted with the intent of educating both Catholics and Protestants, many of whom have never read the Early Church Fathers. If possible, put aside any personal prejudice and reread this article with an open heart and mind. It recounts the lives of the first christians. This is the early church. And, as Orthodox freeper Kolokotronis pointed out, it is clearly recognizable to both Catholics and Orthodox.
I can put aside personal prejudice (such as it is) while reading the article, but it's author didn't do so when writing it. It doesn't tell me that much about the Early Church Fathers. It tells me more about the author's lack of knowledge regarding Protestantism. It is a hit piece, with enough locical fallacies to corner the market on same.
Have already read the church fathers; Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Timothy, Paul...
They were the immediate successors of the Apostles. Three of them were disciples of one or more of the Apostles. Clement of Rome was a disciple of the apostles Peter and Paul. Ignatius of Antioch and Polycarp of Smyrna were disciples of the Apostle John.
The apostle Paul let us know that his most immediate successor was Timothy...We don't even know if your Clement is the same one Paul briefly mentioned...Wonder if there was more than one Clement way back then...
Naturally we would expect that those who were taught directly by the Apostles would themselves believe and teach correctly.
Unless of course they taught something differently than the apostles taught...Don't forget, there were many false teachers back then as well as now...
2Co 2:17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
