Church Father John Chrysostom talking Sex Marriage

I keep saying that one day I am going to delve more into the Church Father Saint John Chrysostom but I am still lagging behind. He is one of those important folks that Latin Rite Catholics sometimes it seems don't go into like they should. Pope Benedict has ideas on that and that is why he devoted two wonderful Wednesday Audiences to him last year. Go see 19 September 2007, Saint John Chrysostom (1) and 26 September 2007, Saint John Chrysostom (2) at the Vatican web site.

The Way of the Fathers blog has spent considerable time in providing us with this nugget of a post Chrysostom and the Mysteries of Marriage . It appears that perhaps like in the West where St Augustine is misunderstood or taken out of context on marriage and sex so is Chrysostom. Good read
