Church Fathers

This is not really an Orthodox concept.
Though the [[Roman Catholic Church]] regards the 8th century St. [[John of Damascus]] to be the last of the Church Fathers, the [[Orthodox Church]] does not consider the age of Church Fathers to be over at all and it includes later influential writers in the term.
==The Consensus Patrum==It should be noted that not all of the Fathers are considered to be [[saint]]s, and certainly none of them are regarded as infallible, most especially those who fell into [[heresy]], such as Tertullian and Origen. The Orthodox Church looks rather to the ''consensus patrum''—that is, the consensus of the Fathers—for its understanding of the patristic Orthodox faith.
