You made a historical claim that the Fathers attest to a “progressive accretion of traditions of men”...I presume by the Catholic Church.
What is your historical evidence of that?
I am sorry that apparently you still do not comprehend what I meant, which is not that these "Fathers" attest that these are traditions of men, but that rather by their positive teaching of these unScripture distinctive Catholic teachings - for support of which you invoke them for - then by way of this evidence they attest to a progressive accretion of traditions of men. The issue remains that these are not manifest in the only wholly inspired-of-God and substantive record of what the NT church believed, which is why Catholic selective invoke so-called "church fathers."
