I find it interesting that when an individual quote from a church father dispells RCC dogma, it is dismissed by appealing to the broader context of their entire works.

But when a single verse of the Bible is interpreted to support RCC dogma, the broader context should be ignored to maintain the doctrine.

Spock would say ... "facinating."

I may have found my next term paper topic.

Would Spock call the selective presentation of data from a very diverse dataset bias or simply dishonest?

Please note that I am not advocating the exclusion of any data or writing from the body or work produced by any of the Fathers. That is the domain of the Reformers.
