A Christian Empire –
A bishop extraordinaire was in Ephesus to replace seven corrupt bishops at the beginning of the fifth century. John Chrysostom, who never quoted the Apocalypse, could not ignore what John the Apostle may have left there. At that time Jerome could have been looking for a reliable copy of the Apocalypse. He was finishing the Vulgate.

A Third John –
A companion in tribulation. Chrysostom was in Ephesus replacing seven corrupt bishops. He could have gone to Patmos for the word of God. He must have known about Jerome who was translating the bible and that many believed the Apocalypse didn’t belong in the bible unless of course it was written by the Apostle. He could find out.
A Commentary By Augustine
A bible that includes the Apocalypse Augustine comments on the Apocalypse after Jerome includes it in the Vulgate while Chrysostom was in Ephesus before he was exiled from Constantinople. Three major players in the early Church. Chrysostom, the greatest of them all, could not protect himself from the corruption in the Church. Jerome and Augustine somehow survived like their works.
A Patriarch In Exile
A great saint run out of town. Chrysostom appealed to the pope. This would lead to the Great Schism. While John was in Ephesus replacing seven corrupt bishops, those in power at Constantinople were conspiring against him. They had to get rid of him. They were the other bishops.
A Destruction of the Family
A destruction of the father.
“Why are we here today?” she asked.
“To make revolution,” they answered.
“What kind of revolution?” she replied.
“The Cultural Revolution,” they chanted.
“And how do we make Cultural Revolution?” she demanded.
“By destroying the American family!” they answered.
“How do we destroy the family?” she came back.
“By destroying the American Patriarch,” they cried exuberantly.
“And how do we destroy the American Patriarch?” she replied.
“By taking away his power!”
“How do we do that?”
“By destroying monogamy!” they shouted.
“How can we destroy monogamy?”
Their answer left me dumbstruck, breathless, disbelieving my ears. Was I on planet earth? Who were these people?
“By promoting promiscuity, eroticism, prostitution and homosexuality!” they resounded.
