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.

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.

If it’s grounded in Scripture it is. Rome cannot make that claim.
