When I read it, I did NOT feel they were true, especially with the Eucharist designation and the Bishop. It just didn’t seem to be right but since I didn’t know Ignatius, I just didn’t know quite what to say. I really appreciate your clarification, OR. Bless you.

Certain enough since Orthodox, Catholic and many Protestants all attest to its veracity. The anti-Catholics believe differently because it satisfies them to do so. If many Protestant scholars can believe it - and orthodox Protestants as that goes - why is it that anti-Catholics do not? It certainly isn’t because they have any real argument.
