You wrote: “What is she talking about here? The Bible? What other Apostolic writings are there? Does she consider St. Patrick an Apostle???”

LEARN TO READ. She wrote: “For the next several months I read the writings of those men who had learned the Christian faith from the very mouth of Christ and the Apostles.”

Notice the word “from”? She’s not saying the Apostles. She’s saying FROM the Apostles. The earliest Church Fathers, like Ignatius, learned from the Apostles.

None of the early church fathers "learned the Christian faith from the very mouth of Christ."

They all learned the words of Christ from the Holy Scriptures, written and spoken, just like you and I learn.

The boasting just gets bigger and bigger.
