Actually ,ALL the Early Church Fathers believed that Eucharist is the actual Body and Blood of Jesus.
There is not a single exception! Even the one,s who were eventually branded as heretics believed and defended Eucharist

This went virtually unchallenged until the reformation.
Try and find an Early Church Father who denied this? Actual writing,not someones interpretation of them

The early RCC church and church fathers did not require priests to be unmarried and celibate, did they? Were they wrong on that matter? Can't pick and choose. They were generally good, but fallible men.

No doubt, apostasy within the Church came very early in Church history. Thank God for the true remnant that remained faithful.
