Thanks, Salvation. This is a nice collection of sources.

I think we have to be receptive to the complaints of those who disagree. It is sometimes easier to believe in the Resurrection than in the authority of the Church. And unanimity among the fathers certainly isn’t obviously similar to unanimity as the world uses the word.

The so-called “Vincentian canon” of “always, everywhere, and by all” is not much better. It CAN look full of contradictions and disagreements. But after a while one sees the truth lurking behind the efforts to express it. And then things become clear.

Natural reason helped me see the others were mistaken. I think it was grace that led me to trust in the sometimes very strange and even distressing way the Church answers its Apostolic call.
