Not surprising coming from a man who went from being a pagan to a Bishop in your church in about 2 weeks time.

Where did you get this???? St. Ambrose was born into a Christian family in Rome. He was not pagan.

Good catch. The usual suspects spreading their usual false histories.

Paul Johnson, "A History of Christianity".

pg 77 "It was common for the State or private interest groups to push their nominees into key Church posts, irrespective of their status. St Ambrose was baptized, went through the various clerical ranks and was consecrated bishop of Milan all within eight days."

I've no doubt the mission now will be to discredit the author, but his resume looks pretty good.
