Homily 88 of St John Chrysostom on St John's Gospel

[Virgil the Roman]

CHURCH FATHERS: Homily 88 on the Gospel of John (Chrysostom)

A homily of St John Chrysostom on St John XXI, wherein he expounds on the chief authority of St Peter as head amongst the Blessed Apostles and as a result, the Holy Church of God.

I have a friend who loves St.John Chrysostom
i will show this to her

 

[Eucharisted]

 

[Virgil the Roman]

When I had been struggling with the issue of the papacy, I found this via the aid of some friends on Fisheaters. It helped to quell some of my uneasiness surrounding the Papacy and issue of Petrine Primacy. Also, being, as I attend oftentimes the Divine Liturgy of St John Chrysostom, I find it telling, that the reviser of this ancient Liturgy, Patriarch and Archbishop of Constantinople, affirms the chief authority of Blessed Peter, here in his homily. It was quite surprising; particularly as St John Chrysostom, was one of the last of whom, I should have expected to support in any manner, the Chief authority of St Peter over that of the other apostles.

I like Chrysostom's writings. I hope that his writings can help bring the EOC and RCC and OOC in full union again.

Jesus puts into his hands the chief authority among the brethren
