Since, therefore, the tradition from the apostles does thus exist in the Church, and is permanent among us, let us revert to the Scriptural proof furnished by those apostles who did also write the Gospel, in which they recorded the doctrine regarding God, pointing out that our Lord Jesus Christ is the truth, and that no lie is in Him.

Irenaeus (/ɪrɪˈneɪəs/;[1] Greek: Εἰρηναῖος Eirēnaios; c. 130 – c. 202 AD)[2] was a Greek bishop ...

Evidence of Sacred tradition, ie., "the tradition from the apostles does thus exist in the Church, and is permanent among us," implies one holy catholic and apostolic Church from the days of the Apostles until this day, and that communities which separated from the Church or arose independently of the Church and rejected the authority of the Church are outside the permanent tradition from the apostles.

Yes, there is one holy catholic and apostolic Church from days of the Apostles until this day and the Church has teaching authority of the Scriptural proof furnished by those apostles. The Church Irenaeus of Lyons wrote about cannot have been re-constructed, re-formed, or re-created some 1400 years later and be the same Church.

It’s amazing how much certain Catholics despise the actual words of the Apostles and prophets and God Himself.

The devil is pleased when people hate the Word.
