Did you go to high school with him or something? Why should anyone believe you over the early church?
What are you even talking about?
See folks, THIS is the level of intellectual discourse that we are dealing with. The inability to even read a simple sentence and connect it with reality is a sign of mental illness in the extreme. The church was poisoned so long ago that the poisoning has become dogma.
My question is just as intellectual as your unsubstantiated opinion. "Church was poisoned" Which church? When? By who? How? And how do you know? What gives you authority? To what extent is Christianity even legitimate if church fathers can't be trusted? If they can't be trusted why should we trust you? Etc etc. You're just doing Mr. Potatohead style Christianity where you believe whatever you want.
You are in no way the intellectual you think you are
Let's talk about it the soup kitchen, or on the overnight shift at the homeless shelter... Oh, yeah, you've never even set one foot in either of those, because your devotion to the 'Church father's' convinced you that you are following the commands of your Lord and savior, just like the 'Church fathers' told you
Simple sheep, out your head back down and stop embarrassing the rest of your flock
We feed the homeless once a month and put a guy up in a hotel over the entire winter because he was living on the street. My priest adopted two kids from abusive homes and raised them as his own. We have a fund specifically for people who call the church in distress due to crisis in housing, food etc.
Uh oh now what're you going to do?
