NKP_Vet: There are no opposing views when ALL the Church fathers, the greatest theologians who ever lived, WERE ALL CATHOLIC! Why is that so hard for people to understand.
Me: But would the "Church fathers, the greatest theologians who ever lived", especially the Early Church Father, recognize what the Catholic Church is today?
Yes
Given the assumptions of a great cloud of witnesses, including the ECFs who were worthy, and the communion of the saints, there has been one holy catholic apostolic church from its inception until now. They are our witnesses.
