>>This instance, selected from a number of similar ones, shows first that the Fathers cannot be isolated from the Church and its life. They are great, but the Church surpasses them in age, as also by the breadth and richness of its experience. It is the Church, not the Fathers, the consensus of the Church in submission to its Saviour which is the sufficient rule of our Christianity.<<

So much for the rule of scripture or "unanimous consent" of the fathers. What a stunning and revealing article!! Basically neither scripture nor the church fathers are primary but simply whatever the Catholic Church decides whenever they decide it.
