Would these be the same Church Fathers who debated whether apostates should be re-baptized or readmitted to the church simply through Confession? As with Augustine on the question of sola scriptura, do not just pick isolated quotes out of context to prove your point. By the time of the Church Fathers, Confession was a clearly practiced sacrament, and no one objected that it was not necessary or contrary to Scripture.

Precisely.

You Caths claim that the church fathers are the reason we should believe you, when they can’t agree with you or even each other.

You are left with the “Because the Vaticsn says so” argument. Which is a pretty stupid argument condidering what comes from the Vatican.
