The pole caused by Rf and the capacitance at the inverting input, Ci,
has its corner at a frequency of 1/(2*pi*Rf*Ci), irrespective of the
opamp's gain. So rip A0 out of your numerator.
If that pole is below the amp's unity-gain frequency, it adds
(approaching) 90 degrees of feedback lag to the opamp's (nearly) 90
degrees of forward-gain lag, so the mess may go unstable.
