If anyone can recall the details of the following very vague recollection, and can link me to the relevant post, I will be very grateful.
(I believe that CP responded when this happened)
Someone claimed that one of the (I think it was) patristic fathers had made a particular statement. Checking the reference, I found that the claim was in fact true. Reading beyond that, the writer contradicted himself. Wider context provided an answer for the confusion – without any apparent cues to indicate what he was doing, the patristic father was presenting another person’s argument and following up with his own counter argument.
[With so little to go on, I'm not expecting a happy result.]
