Well then God must be confused because the writings of the Fathers are often contradictory The consensus patrum is not contradictory (itf it is consensus!); it is what the Church as a whole recognizes as truth. Not everything the fathers wrote is part of consensus patrum. The Church does not teach any of the writings that are not part of the consensus.

Wrong again.
