Your understanding of Church History picks and chooses. You recognize the importance of the Church Fathers, but deny the Church they were members of. You deny the Council of Hippo, but recognize the Canon it endorsed. That is bad history.Let's see how good your history is? What Pontiff knew the canon of the Bible before the RCC did? It was the same Pontiff who paid Eusebius to send out 50 Greek bibles with the same canon in them that those who had been reading it throughout the empire in the east had become accustomed. Get real.

(TRUTH : Ignore it. Deride it. Allegorize it. Interpret it. But you can't ESCAPE it.)

Actually your history continues to be horrible. The Council of Hippo which authorized the Canon occurred after Constantine's death. Try again later.
