The trouble with your proof texts is they are taken out of context with the body of the Church Fathers’ writings and cherry pick from them.

They clearly believed in the primacy of Scripture, as does the Catholic Church today, but they didn’t believe in Sola Scriptura.

The trouble with Protestant apologetics is it shoehorns texts into its preconceived notions rather than looks at them in context.

I can show you countless texts where they point to Holy Tradition against the heretics.
