The Tradition Protestants reject is the early church fathers writings in support of the Apostles writings. They travelled with Peter and John the Apostle and wrote of celebrating the TRUE Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.

Not an ounce of truth in that statement...

Excepting possibly PolyCarp, not a single one of the so-called church fathers traveled with or knew any apostles...And PolyCarp never mentioned anything about a Eucharist...Why would you make that up???

St Iraenius of Antioch was recruited by John The Apostle and made 3 of 5 pilgrimages with Peter...

Early Church Fathers They all wrote of the Real Presence...of Jesus in the Eucharist St Athanasius St John Chrystonom.. The New testament is the New Covenant the Only Covenant was the TRUE Presence in the Eucharist.You Must EAT my Body & Drink my Blood if you want Eternal life.
Every Book Chosen for the New Testament contributed in some manner to the Holy Eucharistic Liturgy.The early Church fathers writing always supported the writings of the apostles if they contradicted they were not included as Catholic Tradition.

You can read how they went out with Apostles were Trained in an evangelizing Bootcamp. the Towns they Visited they talked about writings of Apostles they Taught the Mostly Illiterate followers The OUR FATHER, the ten Commandments and then they performed the Eucharistic Liturgy as Christ performed it in the Upper room. offering bread and wine. This finally formalized by St Justin martyr in AD 128 this is the Mass we celebrate worldwide today!

Sola Scriptura wasn’t even a Possibility until 4th Century were they all Blasphemers?
