Why would the Catholic Church put together a Book that disproves thier own doctrine?

Most historians today say he was wrong from a history standpoint even though he contributed much to christian theology. Even Catholic historians say that the Roman Church was not founded by Peter and Paul.

Of course there are many other examples of ECFs expressing the sola scriptura belief.

Wrong! No ECF ever wrote about Sola Scriptura let alone even defend it as other doctrines. You are merely injecting a false teaching into their words which not one ever supports.
