Pope Leo XIII (1823-9): The Church Fathers "have sometimes expressed the ideas of their own times, and thus made statements which in these days have been abandoned as incorrect." -Pope Leo XIII- "On the Study of Sacred Scripture".
There are even contradictions within Catholic traditions themselvs, it would seem.

So the Church fathers are falliable but Luther is infalliable? Strange claim to be staking your tent.

Not every word ever written by a Catholic is infallible or binding upon the faithful.
That this is thrown out there as some sort of “gotcha” proves again the total misunderstanding of the the structure and magisterium of the Church.
