Y’all pick and choose amongst the early church folks outrageously.

And then y’all have the unmitigated gall to pretend that they all seamlessly, homogeneously and unanimously believed the same things . . . .

FURTHER outrageously—that whatever that pile of stinking deception needs to be at the moment for your current biases and assumptions—y’all pretend that

the previous pretend unaninimity of the early church folks just happens to agree with the current vogue out of the political power mongers otherwise known as the Vatican Cult’s magicsterical.

What an outrageous pile of brazen farce!

“And then y’all have the unmitigated gall to pretend that they all seamlessly, homogeneously and unanimously believed the same things .” Never claimed that. If everyone agreed it never would have been necessary to call Councils to settle questions of doctrine and to challenge heresy.

But the Early Church was Catholic/Orthodox. It was not in any way some budding Protestant sect that was driven underground.

Yes. The Catholic Church has deviated from the teachings of the early church fathers. It's kind of silly to see them quoting them.
