Saint John Chrysostom

    Un Père de l'Église primitive et Archevêque de Constantinople, réputé pour sa prédication éloquente et son puissant art oratoire. Il a gagné l'épithète de "bouche d'or" pour son génie rhétorique et sa dénonciation inébranlable des abus de pouvoir par les chefs laïcs et religieux. Son ascétisme et ses contributions à la pratique liturgique, y compris une liturgie largement utilisée, soulignent sa profonde influence spirituelle. Bien qu'il soit célébré pour ses perspicacités théologiques et son talent homilétique, certains de ses écrits ont également suscité la controverse.
