2. What is meant by "unanimous" consent of the fathers?
The fathers can be Bishops, Popes,Clergy etc.. and unanimous consent is generally(but not always) done at Church councils on matters of faith and morals. Mostly it's just to confirm what the Church has always taught on these issues,but there is sometimes a need to make them concretely written to fight off heresies that arise and protect the flock
How have you been,dear OR? It's been a long time from when I last heard from you.
