Why bother? No one’s claiming the Church Fathers were individually infallible. It’s their consensus on theological issues that has guided the development of doctrine.

You will find that with just a little research the "consensus on theological issues" has changed over the years, decades, centuries. Catholic doctrine has changed. But don't take my word for it. All you have to do is look back at some of these posts and see how the Church is defending Muslims being saved. Do you honestly believe that ANY of the early church fathers believed such nonsense?

The consensus back then was that there was salvation in no one else. Today the consensus is, well......maybe not.....
