Young man, counter examples? a 1/2 dozen post ago you asked a series of questions with unequivocal NO as the answer... Your sadly mistaken my friend if you think this is truth! I am telling you ante-nicene fathers are no more "roman catholic" than I am! The primacy of Peter wasn't even a thought until 400-500. SHEESH!Sure, and afterward I can give some counter examples.
You can twist your scrippture however you or newadvent chooses... HERE is the facts...
[/indent]And you can twist scripture anyway you want because you think you are infallible. Meanwhile We are up to 440 Ministers from just about every denomination who have found there way into the Catholic Church with another 950 inquiring. I guess that as Ministers with theological degrees they can't interpret scripture as well as you.

Roman Catholic does not equal Orthodoxy. Orthodoxy does not equal Roman Catholic. Although up until a certain point the two do share an equal history.Young man, counter examples? a 1/2 dozen post ago you asked a series of questions with unequivocal NO as the answer...

Perhaps there was a misunderstanding. Whenever I talk church history with Protestants, people that are usually brought up are those such as Luther, Calvin and others. I try to bring up stuff early fathers said and stuff that modern day Orthodox monastics say and show how much things have not changed. That was part of my strategy here.
Besides, on papal supremacy I find way to many errors along with a severe lack of real effective communication which was part of the reason why I am no longer Roman Catholic
Thanks for making these points!But what about those of us that have read the ECF and have concluded that Orthodoxy (and Roman Catholicism - I know you're not the same (I prefer the EO)) isn't as "ECF" as they claim they are?
Hence why I'm no longer an Anglican. The Anglican Church is like the RCC but on a smaller scale, but their head is the Queen/King of England, and not some Pope.
Simon: Just take a step back, and calm down. You can argue your point without jumping down other peoples throat.
