I'm not going anywhere with them.
I just wanted to know. Since I have found that Luther and Calvin
make obviously false statements, if it not too hard to question anything
they say. I think that the same thing is true for Augustine and Thomas.
But, I think that the last two were much more correct on many things
than the former.

Is there some kind of consensus about what the fathers taught
within the Orthodox Church?
