Part 5
If this is all so carefully typed out with such diligence to somehow prove that the Church Fathers weren’t Catholic, it isn’t going to work. The Church Fathers believed in oral tradition, the sacraments, and their written preserved writings prove it.
St. Ambrose in particular held a great devotion for the eucharist. The Church Fathers all held to the doctrine of the real presence, so you will never succeed in making them into protestants.
Of course the Church Fathers believed in justification by grace (not works) because that IS Catholic doctrine and was at the time of their writings, as well.
The Catholic Church teaches that we are saved by grace alone, in part because of the Church Father’s very commentaries that have been so graciously and painstakingly provided to prove this very point. (the other part, because that is what scripture tells us as well)
It is a false representation of Catholicism to say otherwise.
Catechism of the Catholic Church:
Part Three, Secion One, Chapter Article II; II Grace:
1996 Our justification comes from the grace of God.
The Church’s doctrines do not contradict a single line from those you copied from the Church Fathers; there is no contradiction whatsoever, and to imply that there is shows an utter lack of understanding of the doctrines of the Church.
