text: Remember that the question was simply whether or not the apostles celebrated the Eucharist.
  
  Now we stretch to make not only Christ's institution of the sacraments myth, but also the Didache, Paul's epistiles, 1 Clement, and the surviving texts from Ignatius of Antioch and Polycarp of Smyrna.  Early Church practice is "myth"? Mythogenesis spread so geographically widely and consistently does not work!
  
  This may have been a tenable position in the early 20th Century before patristics (or study of Paul) really took off, and indeed you will still find Protestant "ministers" and others who don't know we have writings from the apostolic Fathers or know anything at all about the early Church. But for a Catholic to hold such a position in 2017 evinces an almost abecedarian antiintellectualism. Previously the orthodox were accused of ignoring critical scholarship. But after, at long last, the historical-critical method supported orthodoxy, the heterodox deny the possibility of understanding.
