Interesting that you cherry pick the Church Fathers. Do you not know that Paul said that the Church is the foundation and pillar of truth?

I guess. But there sure are a bumper crop of cherries to pick there. You should try it sometime.
Yes, I even know who Paul said it to. He also said to him, “... from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:15-17) Wait, stop! Behold! What wonderment! The Holy Scriptures were inspired before the Catholic Church deigned to canonize them. Timothy was made wise unto salvation by them before he even had the authority of the Catholic Church to move him to faith.
Shazzam, as Gomer Pyle used to say. OK, now I’ll stop cherry picking the Holy Scriptures.
