“The first was sola Scriptura in which the fathers viewed Scripture as both materially and formally sufficient.”

Are you arguing that the magisterium has the ultimate authority to define the doctrine of the Church? If not, why would it matter which fathers?

Also, I’ll bite. Let’s see some patristic citations.

Historically the church always said that tradition came from the early church fathers that knew ot were taught by the apostles.... now it is from "whoever"

“Neither dare one agree with catholic bishops if by chance they err in anything, but the result that their opinion is against the canonical Scriptures of God.”
- Augustine (354–430) De unitate ecclesiae, 10
