Ummm, Many of your Christian Church fathers were philosophers.

Umm, I don't subscribe to philosophers. And my Christianity came from scripture written by the Apostles, not opinions written by halfwits who thought a better way was to theorize about religion rather than accepting the teaching of Christ. I'm a Christian - not an ism. Enlightenment is knowing God's word and having the mind of Christ. Not superior logical structures meant to render opinions on the best theory of how to do things contrary to scripture. Catholicism didn't go wrong because it made a mistake. The inquisitions are a combination of fraudulent laws adopted of a fraudulent organization and used under antichristian philosophy to persecute Christians. This isn't a matter of "oops I tripped". This was a planned, well thought out and debated long time belief system argued into existence and deemed Holy by a body that was operating 100% contrary to scripture. That isn't a mistake. That is a complete and utter betrayal. And I don't call anyone father outside of my dad and my God. By father, you mean mentor. And my mentors are people who get it right and know what they're talking about. Not people who disagree with what they believed yesterday and damn the guy that holds their old belief tomorrow while they struggle to figure out what to do with whores to keep them away from 'decent people.' I know more than you seem to give me credit for. So don't presume to tell me they're my early fathers.
