'''"Church fathers"''' is a loosely-defined term which is used to refer to early [[Christian]] [[theologians]] whose writings<ref>http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/churchfathers.html</ref> and teachings are considered by some to be authoritative in defining and defending Christian [[theology]] and practices. Much reverence is given to them in the [[Roman Catholic]] and [[Eastern Orthodox]] traditions, while [[Protestant]] sects tend to not place as much reverence on them in favor of [[sola scriptura]] (the [[Bible]] as the final authority).  Generally those in the [[evangelical]] camp will consider them at some level of authority but not the final one, while [[fundamentalist]] camps tend to ignore them altogether due to their opinion that Catholicism is false teaching.
