quotes by early church fathers

[infinitelord1]

Ive been trying to use the catholic defense directory to find quotes by the early church fathers...........someone was able to give me these quotes on a thread and they said they got them from the directory.........yet i cant find them. How do i find them? I wanna search for things like transubstantiation, infant baptism, etc.

i got ur back

if you'll notice, each entry in the directory has a subentry for ECF testimony about that topic. so, if u want to know what the ECF's say about transubstantiation, go to "Sacraments, Sacramentals" --> "Eucharist and the Sacrifice of the Mass" --> "Holy Eucharist" --> "Early Church Fathers". to see what the ECF's say about infant baptism, go to "Sacraments, Sacramentals" --> "Baptism" --> "Early Church Fathers." to see ECF testimony on Mary, go to "Mary" --> "Early Church Fathers." see how that works?

if you still need help finding something, just send me a pm

pax christi,
