BTW-The Council of Trent came along about 1200 years later and added a whole bunch of new stuff that the early fathers questioned. This is the whole problem with "tradition". There isn't any.
Allright, what Traditions did the Council of Trent Abrogate?
Harley, you're starting to leak oil..lol.., listen to what you're saying. First, "THEY" are the synod of Rome, under Pope Damasus I in 382, the council of Hippo in 393, the 1st and 2nd councils of Carthage, 397 and 419 respectively, and the decrees of the latter two councils concerning which books belonged in the Bible were confirmed by the Pope.
Question 1: Where did they get the Authority to do this?
Question 2: If the Popes and Bishops from this synod and these councils had the Authority to do this at that time, why did the Pope and Bishops not have the same authority at Trent?
As far as the Fathers questioning. On issues not yet settled by the Church, the Fathers sometimes did disagree, no problem there.
