Patristic Sources on the Papacy

[CDHealy]

Newman's understanding of DofD is precisely the way I've summarized it--although said with quite  a few more winsome and erudite words.

(And it looks like yet another Catholic has left/been banned from the boards.)

[ex cathedra]

if it was important it would have been in the bible.


 Timothy 3:15
and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus

[trifecta]

Sorry ex,

That scripture quotes proves our point, not yours. 

Those scriptures that Timothy has known from infancy would be the Old Testament, not the New Testament.  This letter was among the earliest NT writings.  And the NT would not be approved by the church until the 4th century.

The more you learn about church history (including the church fathers) the more you will see how untenable many Protestant claims are.
