Don’t confuse the Catholics with the writings of the early church fathers. They only use them when it’s convenient for their purpose-which is seldom. :O)

Same as they do with Luther.

Actually your post is incorrect. The Catechism of the Catholic Church cites extensively from the Bible [40 of the 46 Books in the Catholic OT are cited and all 27 NT books and from among the 4 Gospels, a quick survey of the data indicates every Chapter from all 4 Gospels are cited significantly] it cites extensively from every Ecumenical Council, some 15 Regional or local councils [i.e. Rome 382, Carthage 418], numerous Popes from the Patristic period, Damasus [366-384], Innocent I [402-4017], Leo I the Great [440-461], some 40 of the Church Fathers [Augustine some 85-90 times, Ambrose some 25 times, etc].

I am just clarifying the actual record, just so you know.

Yeah...

I’ve noticed!

As, I imagine, have any lurkers in these threads.
