Early this year I was reading Faith of the early fathers volume 1, and I saw one of the fathers mentioning either BoD or BoB. But I can't remember which one...and I really don't want to read through 200+ pages to see whether it was BoD or BoB....
I can see from the downvotes on the OP that some people are very sensitive.. which is kinda sad. Unless someone can find a quote showing St Cyril teaching BoD that's another father who rejected it. And even if a quote is found, it would only be a contradiction showing that even the fathers can err.
I've never seen any other Father cited by the proponents of BoD besides St. Ambrose and St. Augustine as supporting BoD. Pope Innocent refers to the "authority of Augustine and Ambrose". I presume that I would have seen it after all these years of debating the subject, but I have not. Often the BoDers will cite a passage about BoB as support for BoD. But that's dishonest, as several Fathers who believed in BoB then rejected BoD.
Strangely, if one accepts the BoDer reading of Trent, the tables are turned. Trent (according to them) teaches that justification cannot happen without the Sacrament or the Desire. Where's the mention of BoB? If in fact Trent were intending to teach here about the "Three Baptisms," why was it silent about BoB?
