    I am sure that the Church Fathers did not lie. Whatever the truth is in this matter, the Church Father conveyed what they believed to be the truth, even if misinformed by their own belief or tradition. Commented Feb 10, 2019 at 5:48
  • Both the Catholic Church and Orthodox Church admit that some traditions are not reliable historically. Some traditions are basically legend. That does not make them lies. The liturgy has been ascribed or attributed to St. James by some, but that does not make the Church Fathers liars. This Liturgy simply originated at Jerusalem and thus the confusion. Read my answer.
