So, your assessment is wrong that we don't trust the Church Fathers conveniently . We do trust them when they are united and don't trust them when they are not united with the teachings of the Church
==================================
.
.
Which being interpreted means . . .
IT IS INCONVENIENT TO CHURCH FANTASIES
WHEN THE CHURCH FATHERS DISAGREE
WITH VATICAN FANTASIZED DOGMA.
So, we DON'T trust them, then.
WE ONLY TRUST THEM WHEN THEY AGREE
WITH VATICAN FANTASIZED DOGMA.
How
CONVENIENT!

It certainly is fun to watch them embrace/dismiss/embrace/dismiss Augustine and dozens of other church fathers who disagree/agree/disagree/agree with them.

From your quote of a RCC position:
We do trust them (Church Fathers) when they are united and don't trust them when they are not united with the teachings of the Church
Herein lies the difference in identity of the Christian Church and the RCC identification of the Church. The Christian Church also trusts the Church Fathers when they are united and don't trust them when they are not united with the teachings of Christ. One has the object of a grouping of men labeled the Church, while the other focuses on the object providing foundation to the Church.
