Which means nothing. Lots of "athletes" are in reality girly-men.

Not much has changed.
Back to my original poser to you, which you have never addressed.
When are you going to provide dogmatic teaching from the early church fathers on the dogmas of the Assumption of Mary, the Immaculate Misconception, Roman papal primacy and Roman papal infallibility from the first 4 centuries of the church?
Oh, but you can't, because it is not there, those are dogmas that Rome imposed that never existed.

When was the Bible amassed? When did the Holy Day get specified as Sunday rather than Saturday? When did the doctrine of the Trinity get established?
What makes the first four centuries special as opposed to anything that happened thereafter? You cannot pick and choose. Either you accept the Church’s positions on everything or you accept none of them. You are following some traditions of men and you are rejecting others; yet all of them were established entirely on exactly the same authority - that of the Church.
It’s gotta be heady, being your own pope.
