Look, we have seen so many professions of the leadership of the Holy Spirit here. Why is the same leadership of the Holy Spirit denied the fathers of the Church, in matters of canon or theology?
= = =
NOT denied them at all.
Just that we realistically understand that they,
TOO
were/are flawed in their hearing of Holy Spirit just as we all tend to be; just as they were/are flawed in reading Scripture individually and collectively just as we all are/tend to be.
They were NOT magical nor magically protected into perfect understanding and infallibility on such matters any more than we are.
Nothign about the faith is "magical". However, the fathers of the Church gave their lives to the Church, in celibacy and total dedication, and in martyrdom. You?
