  I think you meant (or meant to write):
   
  ... In fact, anyone who taught that there were NOT three divine Persons in one God, 
  and that Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God and Son of the virgin Mary, was NOT 
  one of those three Persons, and _ipso facto_ divine, would not be considered a 'Father 
  of the Church', but a heretic, <snip>
   
  (i.e., a second "NOT" after the "was" in "... and that Jesus Christ ... was")
