Another "handy companion" book I'd recommend is Jimmy Atkin's Fathers Know Best. Hes got the Church Fathers writings divided up by subject, Apostolic Succession Apostolic Tradition, Sacraments, Infant Baptism, etc. He even includes homosexuality, contraception and abortion.

OMG thanks you so much I love my catholic faith and I will never leave it

My late seventies , glory be to God for his goodness to me and those who like me are filled with Joy for this informative truth to our Catholic faith of our Fathers living still

Awesome! Great introduction to the Fathers. God bless you !!!

I really love this! Only recently when I found out St. Paul Center's youtube channel and I am hooked now. I've been watching and it's really a great learning for an ordinary Catholic like me. I also love the way how Matthew Leonard do the presentation. His voice is very relaxing to hear

Where do we find the writings of the Fathers?

There were no Catholics during the apostles life!!

No, we should only embrace the faith of Jesus & the Apostles found in the Holy bible! Paul warned "Do not go beyond what is written" ( 1 Cor : 4:6 RNEB) The apostles actually warned us against the future teachings and philosophies of men that would corrupt the true gospel! Clever, well educated, schooled in greek philosophy, they quickly rose to acceptance due to their learning and teachings! Paul said that "God chose, not the clever, not the wise, but the foolish things of the world" ( 1Cor 1)

I love my Catholic brothers and sisters in Christ. However, do you know what is sad? By the very nature of following Catholic doctrine, you subscribe to accepting that the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ did not accomplish what God had intended all along. God, without our permission, ushered in the New Covenant (His one-time sacrifice for sins that was enough to bridge the gap between God and us). “God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them” 2 Cor 5:10. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only son that whosoever believes in Him (puts their faith and trust in Him) shall not perish but have everlasting life” John 3:16. We received God’s righteousness (right standing with God); He took on our unrighteousness. What an exchange!!! To follow church authority (Catholicism) who announces that you have all these requirements to follow to work your way into Heaven (sacraments), and purgatory (so you can bake a little longer before you get in)- simply tells God, “Your son’s death on the Cross was not enough to extend Grace to mankind”. The Vatican Church has absolutely no authority whatsoever. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, the life, no man comes to the Father except through me” John 14:16. Not through the church, not through a priest, not through a confession booth, not through the sacraments, not through Mary, not through prayers to “saints”- Eternal Life can only be found through faith and trust in Jesus Christ. That is the New Covenant- a new arrangement with Believers- established by God (on this side of the Cross). We could never do enough good works to get in; God made the ultimate sacrifice, initiating a perfect Grace to ensure we would. “For it is by Grace you have been saved, through Faith- and this not from yourself, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast” Eph 2:8. The corruption of the Catholic Church (do the research), and the massive (and I mean massive) cover up of Priests (who have molested more children than every other Christian denomination combined), and the corruption of so many popes (who are supposed to be infallible)- pretty much speaks for the error in Catholic thinking, along with pages and pages of other problems I could write about if there was space. Look it up for yourself- there are documented cases of horrible, bad and corrupt popes- who were sexually active pedophiles, ones who committed sodomy, and much more. They were pure evil. If at any time in human history, there was even one pope that did anything wrong (EVER)- just one thing!!!- the whole system is exposed as a lie and a fraud because the pope is identified as infallible by the Catholic church. Truth? Their history is horrible. Don’t fall for the Catholic explanation that the Holy Spirit overrides the fallible popes, and renders them infallible (a pathetic lie and an excuse for their deviant behavior). Can you imagine if we used that excuse for all our poor decisions? Absolute nonsense. The status of priests in the Catholic church is a disaster. One priest was quoted as saying, “Every priest he knows is gay, unless he has been told otherwise”. Other sources have homosexuality in the priesthood at a staggering 75%. The system is broken, and the Catholic Church is not God’s intention. Jesus had a different idea completely, and I will sum it up in 2 words: “Follow me”. Let go of the bondage that is administered and demanded by an “institution”, and rely solely on the freedom and grace that comes by simple faith and trust in “following” Jesus Christ. He will certainly set you free from an institution that holds your eternal life hostage (until you measure up to God’s requirements), because nobody has ever measured up. There is no purgatory; in fact, purgatory is slapping God in the face and saying,” your sacrifice and the shedding of your blood was not enough- we will add to what you did”. Scary theology people. Let me introduce Grace. God accomplished on the Cross everything you and me will ever need to IMMEDIATELY be in Heaven- by simple faith and belief. If you have been sitting in Catholic churches all these years, confused, never feeling like you measure up, totally lost in their doctrine (but hung in there because of family tradition)- please consider trusting Christ- and leaving.

only believe and bow to christ & the father. not all the extras please. we are not to serve or pray to the false prophets such as the other catholic priest & especially not mary. we are to understand even have love for these people but we are not to serve anyone but the father & his son & holy spirit. we cannot pray to paul or mary or anyone else. period

Ummm, why would I not bow to the Holy Spirit? We pray with the saints. St. Augustine of hippo (354-430) defended prayers to the saints as "dulia" and not "latria" (as in an antecedent of "idolatry") at altars named for them. Certainly there were some even in the early centuries such as the Kollyridians who went too far and offered a Eucharist to the Virgin Mary. They were condemned by St. Epiphanius of Salamis, for example. Yet there is the "Sub Tuum," a prayer to Mary which dates from the 3rd or 4th century.
