i am having another alena morrisette “isn’t it ironic”? moment!!
here we have Catholic Church Fathers quoted to somehow support “sola scriptura”, by someone who would call all these men “heretics”, just as Catholics today are accused of being heretics!
all of these men listed believed the following:
baptismal regeneration
infant baptism
the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist
the sacrifice of the Mass
prayers for the dead
prayers to the saints
the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church
the Bishop of Rome as the successor to St Peter
apostolic succession
confession to a priest
the Trinity
all of these men would consider the person citing them as a heretic.
just one example: these men all believed that we are regenerated by baptism, that our sins are forgiven and we receive the Holy Spirit.
does rnmomof7 believe this? she can answer that for herself, but i think we all know the answer.
so Catholics will continue to hold to the Faith once delivered to the saints ( and believed by the Church Fathers )
we invite the unbelievers to join us.
baptismal regeneration
infant baptism

I don't believe you...Post the relevant statements by these 'church fathers' to prove your case...
