Why Catholic?

II. As I read from the writings of the early Church fathers, I came to a startling realization. They were all Catholic. Both the Greek Fathers and the Latin Fathers all shared the same approach to Scripture, the Sacraments, healing, miracles,  ecclesiology, Biblical interpretation, the sacrifice of the Mass, the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, the veneration of the saints, the use of holy relics, and so many other things.

I came to see that the theologians I trusted the most were indeed Catholics. Well, or Orthodox.

I mean, they were nothing like Protestants. It is as though Protestants and other non Catholic Christians took what they wanted from Catholicism, trashed their Mother - the Church - and didn’t even say thank you.

I hope to provide some quotes to back up what I say,  in hopes that others will look for themselves.
