I believe your list of quotes from the church fathers puts to bed the notion of "sola scriptura is a 16th century invention of the reformers."

It certainly does for me and I would think for anyone wanting to know truth.

When the Early Church Fathers are cited when only discussing Scripture, in carefully selected quotes chosen for the "Protestant ear" they of course sound Protestant. However, when these same fathers are cited in the context of their entire body of work it becomes obvious that the preached that the Holy Scripture, the Apostolic Tradition and the Church are conjoined into a single Truth arising from a single source.
