[QUOTE="VelvetAnt, post: 1525345, member: 23715"] (Had to make a new account, lost the login info for my old one, I have been following Roosh for a long time.) I hate to say it, but this book isn't a legitimate source. I've seen this come up before from another member of my parish, particularly this quote: As others in the thread have pointed out, this quote is in direct contradiction with St. Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians. It seems strange that St. John Chrysostom would say such a thing, but the reality is that he most likely didn't. The book is an unsourced collection of quotes by Robert Van de Weyer, an Anglican priest, not the direct writings of St. John Chrysostom. While that alone doesn't prove that Chrysostom didn't actually say these things, I challenge you to find another source that contains the above quote -- keep in mind that Chrysostom's homilies are widely documented and published. In fact, St. John Chrysostom's Homily 20 on Ephesians is specifically about marriage: [URL]https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/230120.htm[/URL] , and it doesn't contain this quote. It's a long read, and I highly recommend it for any married Christian. However, just with a skim, it's easy to see that the quote given in Robert Van de Weyer's book is in direct contradiction with St. John Chrysostom's documented and sourced views: St. John Chrysostom's homilies are some of my absolute favorites and I have relied heavily on them for guiding my life, and my journey into Orthodoxy, so it was disappointing to see this badly sourced and possibly fraudulent book come up here. I highly recommend that everyone reads what Chrysostom had to say, so I hope that this didn't discourage others from being interested in him. Please be very careful with sources, it really saddens me to see a great Doctor of the Church falsely used to push views that are in contradiction with the Church and with Biblical teaching. [/QUOTE]
