Look, I don't want to get into a protracted argument over this, but don't all Christians (with the exception, maybe, of the Mormons) think that they follow the faith practised by the original church fathers?

Again, to quote my own denomination's Augsburg Confession:

"...our churches dissent in no article of the faith from the Church Catholic, but only omit some abuses which are new..."

Not in my experience in these ecumenical brawls on FR. Each time I quote something particularly Catholic from Ignatius or Irenaeus to our evangelical brethren and I get a resounding "So what?".
