That's true, but I give Harley credit for even reading St. Augustine. I hope he continues to read other Catholic (meaning Catholic/Orthodox before the Schism) Fathers. It is quite helpful, at least for me, to see their insights into Scripture and the Apostolic Tradition, the total teachings of the Church. What I hope he begins to do is to read the Fathers through the lenses of the Church, as they were written.
