But you are right on target, Jo. They look for out-of-context support for their innvations and distortions, instead on the faith delivered in en toto.

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.

Brother in Christ

Very much so. Which is the same reason I hope this discussion is going on: we are trying to find out more about their way of thinking, to see where we share things in common and where they depart. It is imperative to know that if we are to have clear understanding of our differences and to know why we recte or accept them.
