Again Herodias raves; again she is troubled; she dances again; and again desires to receive John’s head in a charger.
Said by Saint John Chrysostom in reference to Empress Aelia Eudoxia.

St. John Chrysostom is one of my heroes. His sermons are sometimes difficult to read (maybe it’s the translation), but are so very, very relevant.
Did St John Chysostom write that the floor of Hell is paved with the skulls of bishops?
No he did not.
