sorry, but this looks like a hatchet piece.
I intentionally didn't exclude the quotes from other church founders so to have not this be a hatchet piece. The point of this really had nothing to do with misogyny but more the reliability of saints or reformers and their traditions or interpretations when weighed against scripture.
It is in the consensus of the Church Father's that we find truth that can be trusted. It's potentially very misleading to draw a conclusion based on one or a few.
We don’t consider the church fathers to be infallible. It’s the consensus of the Church over time. None of the bishops or leaders are infallible. However, when in consensus, we consider it to be preserving the Orthodox faith. Consensus doesn’t mean just consensus of the people at the time, but throughout the history of the Church.
Ok Thanks I get it , its the consensus that shaped and maintained the traditions of the Orthodox faith.
