your own evidence says the Apostolic Canons are fabrications

No it doesn't. It says the attribution is wrong. The content accurately reflects the legal environment of the Early Church.

Nor is that the bottom line. The bottom line is the laughable assertion by OldReggie that the Early Church did not have canon law, and before that, the equally ignorant claim that it was common practice for one bishop to tell another what to do in his dioocese "pastorally".

It actually says "false and untenable...". Spin it any which way and your claim is still false.

Twisting what I said is one thing. an outright lie is another "... and before that, the equally ignorant claim that it was common practice for one bishop to tell another what to do in his dioocese "pastorally." is another.

The case is closed.
