The best part is they (cyprian,et al) are DEAD and their opinions didnt prevail because they were just their opinions

What about "neither will I ever take and interpret [the scriptures] otherwise than according to the unanimous consent of the Fathers"?

Cyprian is supposed to endorse the primacy of Peter in the text of "The Unity of the Catholic Church", but I can't find the support.

Cyprian - Surely the rest of the Apostles also were that which Peter was, endowed with an equal partnership of office and of power.

I guess I should read more of Cyprian's text... But it seems like another case of Catholic quotes and assertions saying the exact opposite of what they say.

Ante-Nicene Fathers: Cyprian

Just what part of “Cyprian does not have any more sway as to the Primacy of Peter than you do” do you not understand?

Neither Cyprian’s nor your private personal interpretation on the primacy of Peter is significant as it is MERELY YOUR OPINION.

You’re just another protestant who thinks his opinion is better than the Majesterium of the Catholic Church.

Only in your dreams.
