A little different don’t you think, to contradict what has been said, and to contradict what has not been said?

Of course. Also, of course, that is not what I said or implied.

Is it possible that you have invented a new definition of "all" similar to your invention of a new definition of "unanimous"?

Unanimous Consent Of The Fathers

The Unanimous Consent of the Fathers (unanimem consensum Patrum) refers to the morally unanimous teaching of the Church Fathers on certain doctrines as revealed by God and interpretations of Scripture as received by the universal Church. The individual Fathers are not personally infallible, and a discrepancy by a few patristic witnesses does not harm the collective patristic testimony.

The word "unanimous" comes from two Latin words: únus, one + animus, mind. "Consent" in Latin means agreement, accord, and harmony; being of the same mind or opinion. Where the Fathers speak in harmony, with one mind overall-not necessarily each and every one agreeing on every detail but by consensus and general agreement-we have "unanimous consent". The teachings of the Fathers provide us with an authentic witness to the apostolic tradition.


Continue with your magic definitions.
