John Chrysostom
The One who praised God,as Old writing were burned by Christians.
He was very important in Early Christianity...
His views about Women :"
Feminist scholars found him critical of women, when he wrote "Of all the wild animals, none can be found as harmful as women"[54] (translated by others as "Among all the savage beasts none is found so harmful as woman.").[55]
Another scholar found "rejoicing in the creation of humanity in two sexes, and in the gift of sexual desire" rather than that which "may seem degrading to women if taken in isolation
how ever others also say :
Christian clerics, such as R.S. Storr, refer to him as "one of the most eloquent preachers who ever since apostolic times have brought to men the divine tidings of truth and love", and the 19th-century John Henry Newman described John as a "bright, cheerful, gentle soul; a sensitive heart
others also say ::
A legend recorded in Croatia in the 16th Century [62] (although not mentioned in the Golden Legend) relates that when John Chrysostom was a hermit in the desert, he was approached by a royal princess in distress.[63] The Saint, thinking she was a demon, at first refused to help her, but the princess convinced him that she was a Christian and would be devoured by wild beasts if she were not allowed to enter his cave. He therefore admitted her, carefully dividing the cave in two parts, one for each of them.
In spite of these precautions, the sin of fornication was committed, and in an attempt to hide it, the distraught saint took the princess and threw her over a precipice. He then went to Rome to beg absolution, which was refused.
