I understand the Early Church Fathers as an unbroken historical chain of the one holy catholic apostolic church, each one of them with gifts from the Father excersised and refined according to their faith and obedience, combined their human frailties. This is where you argument fails. If it's an unbroken chain as the catholic claims then they will all be on the same message points.
They are not and roman catholicism knows this. When they disagree with the ECF the ECF is dismissed as being wrong.
Christianity is catholic.
Christianity may be catholic in the sense it is universal. Christianity is not roman catholic which is not universal for roman catholicism adds to Christianity. See all the prior discussions regarding the worship of mary, indulgences, etc. You would not have a Bible except for the one holy catholic apostolic church.
Please...we had the Bible before the roman catholic church.
For the group who claims they gave the world the Bible it seems to be the one book they reject the most.

Again, poor semantic construct

Yes, Christianity is Catholic, and yes it is universal, being found throughout the known world.

Mary is not worshipped; she is honored and loved, as by sons and daughters. If you love her son, you would love her.

Why do you, one person, use the word "we ?" You would not have the Bible except for the one holy catholic apostolic church, which is the historical source of the Christian Bible.

The Bible is composed of books. I have freely posted from it on this very thread.
