Kind of a wierd duck...

He taught them that the way to salvation was not to be ever disputing about matters of religion (an abuse that was grown to a great height at that time in Constantinople), but to keep the commandments,[22] to give alms, to exercise hospitality, to visit and serve the sick, to pray, sigh, and weep; to mortify the senses, repress anger, watch over the tongue, and subject the body to the spirit.

Nothing about the shed blood of Jesus...Nothing about faith...It's all about doing good works, to earn your way to heaven...

Greg was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, was provided the best education possible and his life's desire was to become a hermit...

A Billy Graham, Greg wasn't...He obviously ignored Jesus' command to go into the world and preach the Gospel in favor of lying around and crying most of the time (about what, I couldn't guess)...
