Alluding to Trinity is not the same as dogma.

Did the councils and church fathers create church dogma regarding the Trinity? How? What was the basis for their understanding?

It took the Church good 300 years to figure out the "correct" Trinitarian formula.

On what did the church base this "'correct' Trinitarian formula?"

Weather reports.

Valentines?

Tea leaves?

You value monastics without even knowing it.

On Tradition, Bible and a lot of rationalizing.
