One of the things which we need to do, Americans in particular, is to reestablish a connection with the early church

I agree with this. Americans not only have to reestablish a connection with the early church...they need to reestablish a connection with history in general which the liberals have managed to erode.

However, Tthe early Fathers were fallible and had both good and bad things to say. This is one reason why their sayings are NOT equal with Scripture which is fully God-breathed. Therefore when a belief that the early Church Fathers held held CONFLICTS with Scripture, it is Scripture which must hold sway.

True enough and no one says that they are equal. And definitely this article DOES NOT say they are equal

Therefore when a belief that the early Church Fathers held held CONFLICTS with Scripture, it is Scripture which must hold sway. again -- this article does not posit that point. On this particular matter, we would of course disagree as we believe that this p. does NOT conflict with S.
