If you read their writings they did not believe in the Eucharist as Catholics do. Catholics trun to early writings but only in part (like with Scripture).
By their actual writings as a whole Ignatius and Justin Martyr held a view more akin to Luther than the Catholic Church.
False and prejudiced assertion without evidence.
These are Catholic Fathers that believed the Eucharist is the flesh and blood of Christ, their writings only come to us through the Catholic Church.
“They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they confess not the Eucharist to be the flesh of our Saviour Jesus Christ, which suffered for our sins, and which the Father, of His goodness, raised up again.” Ignatius of Antioch, Epistle to Smyrnaeans, 7,1 (c. A.D. 110).
“For not as common bread and common drink do we receive these; but in like manner as Jesus Christ our Saviour, having been made flesh and blood for our salvation, so likewise have we been taught that the food which is blessed by the prayer of His word, and from which our blood and flesh by transmutation are nourished, is the flesh and blood of that Jesus who was made flesh.” Justin Martyr, First Apology, 66 (c. A.D. 110-165).
Proven false again.
Roman pagans used holy water exactly like Catholics use holy water. Not kinda. Not simply calling it "holy water". EXACTLY line Catholics use holy water.
False. Prejudiced assertion without evidence.
So the pagans blessed the water in the Name of The Father, Son and Holy Spirit did they.
We also see this in Greek paganism (it is commonly held that the Roman pagans adopted the use of holy water from Greek cults).
The Roman cults priests would bless a vessel of water. Cult members viewed this blessed water as sacred, conveying protection or blessings from the gods.
The Greeks included the vessel that the priest put out the temple toarch as being holy as well.
So what. Where is your evidence by the way or are you just asserting again.
This is not how holy water was used in the Old Testament. But it is how Catholics use holy water.
Fact is, holy water is Scriptural, you said it wasn’t, which is false.
Christians do not have priests (Christians have a High Priest in Christ and are a priesthood per Scripture).
“See that ye all follow the bishop, even as Christ Jesus does the Father, and the presbytery as ye would the apostles. Do ye also reverence the deacons, as those that carry out the appointment of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude also be; by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.It is not lawful without the bishop either to baptize or to celebrate a love-feast; but whatsoever he shall approve of, that is also pleasing to God, so that everything that is done may be secure and valid.” Ignatius of Antioch, Epistle to the Smyrneans, 8:2 (c. A.D. 110).
“I have, as to love, beheld all of you. May I always have joy of you, if indeed I be worthy of it. It is therefore befitting that you should in every way glorify Jesus Christ, who hath glorified you, that by a unanimous obedience "ye may be perfectly joined together in the same mind, and in the same judgment, and may all speak the same thing concerning the same thing” and that, being subject to the bishop and the presbytery, ye may in all respects be sanctified.” Ignatius to the Ephesians.
