From
this thread:
Among the 15,000 faithful gathered in the square were Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley of Boston and Greek Orthodox Metropolitan Methodios of Boston. The two leaders were heading a 100-member Catholic-Orthodox ecumenical pilgrimage from the United States to Rome, then Istanbul, Turkey, and ending in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Did he teach anti-semitism during these years or did that come later?

We just recieved an e-mail from my son who is in Rome studying this semester. He attended the papal audience today and was in the front row. He said His Holiness passed within four feet of him while giving his blessing and that the Pope said the blessing extended to his family back home.
So we're all trying to be a little holier in our family right now. -)

A early Father that I always liked because he filled me with questions:
Are there any examples of “why” he was named golden tongued?
And what drove his utter rejection of Hebrews as apart from God through Christ? Was that a function of study of the Scriptures and Epistles, or was it due to some sort of deeply held belief that Hebrews would lead Christians astray?

I can't suitably answer your questions. Perhaps one of our more knowledgeable FReepers will step up.

The wonderful pope referred here to +John Chrysostomos’ Homily XX on Ephesians. It has always been one of my favorites. Here is a quote I use at wedding toasts and in advice to young husbands concerning wives:
” And again, never call her simply by her name, but with terms of endearment, with honor, with much love. Honor her, and she will not need honor from others; she will not want the glory that comes from others, if she enjoys that which comes from thee. Prefer her before all, on every account, both for her beauty and her discernment, and praise her. Thou wilt thus persuade her to give heed to none that are without, but to scorn all the world except thyself. Teach her the fear of God, and all good things will flow from this as from a fountain, and the house will be full of ten thousand blessings.”
