To be ignorant of Scripture is to be ignorant of God.
St Ignatius of Antioch looked forward to being fed to the lions in the name of God not because he was crazy or because he had fuzzy feelings about Jesus after listening to a Christian rock song.
Only someone that truly knows Jesus and believes He was God would say this about his impending execution:
“I am God’s wheat, and I shall be ground by the teeth of wild beasts, so that I may become the pure bread of Christ.”
We don’t get the luxury of being disciples of the Apostle John, but we have access to the Word of God.
Don’t lose the plot by getting too caught up on worldly nonsense, including Bitcoin.

He is my confirmation saint.
St. Ignatius, pray for us.
He might be my favorite Church Father.
I chose him because he was so early AND so Catholicky.
His writings helped make it plain to me that the early Church was Catholic. And he clearly did not teach sola scriptura.
Same
Even a superficial study of early Church history can cure most from Protestantism.
