St John Chrysostom (27 January): Golden-Mouthed Preacher Who Confronted Riots, Heresy, & Corruption

About this sermon

St. John Chrysostom — Golden-Mouthed preacher, Doctor of the Church, and fearless bishop — stands as one of the most powerful voices in Christian history. Born in Antioch in 347 AD, trained in rhetoric by pagan masters, and forged in the fires of desert asceticism, Chrysostom became the most prolific homilist of the early Church, second only to St. Augustine. In this talk, we walk through the entire life of St. John Chrysostom, from his extreme years as a desert hermit to his rise as Archbishop of Constantinople — and ultimately his exile for preaching the truth without compromise. You’ll hear how: He confronted rioting, statue-toppling, and civil unrest in 387 AD He preached obedience to lawful authority even under unjust rulers He rebuked wealthy elites, corrupt clergy, and immoral culture He warned against false religion, secular obsession, and moral decay He suffered exile rather than soften the Gospel Seventeen centuries later, his sermons remain shockingly relevant. This is not ancient history — this is a manual for Catholics living through cultural collapse today. “Preach the Gospel in season and out of season.” St. John Chrysostom lived it — and paid the price. 00:00 – Feast of St. John Chrysostom 00:45 – Born in Antioch & Pagan Rhetorical Training 01:16 – Desert Hermit Life & Extreme Asceticism 02:28 – Why Desert Penances Are for Admiration, Not Imitation 03:04 – Ordination, Schism, and Reconciliation with Rome 04:10 – “Golden-Mouthed” Preacher of Antioch 04:32 – His Massive Biblical Homilies 05:10 – Riots, Statue Destruction & Civic Order (387 AD) 06:27 – Why Rioting Is Always Wrong 07:13 – Archbishop of Constantinople 07:50 – Confronting Wealth, Hypocrisy, and Corrupt Clergy 08:32 – His Preaching Against Luxury, Sports Obsession & Moral Decay 10:08 – False Religion, Judaizers & Controversy 10:50 – Teaching on Sexual Morality 12:09 – His Written Works & Theology 12:34 – Conflict with the Empress 13:27 – Exile, Earthquakes & Riots 14:18 – Death in Exile 14:43 – “Preach in Season and Out of Season” 15:05 – Vocations, Faithfulness & Courage Today 16:23 – Final Exhortation & Prayer https://sensusfidelium.us/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/january/january-27-st-john-chrysostom-bishop-doctor-of-the-church/ http://catholicsaints.mobi/calendar/27-january.htm Please remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
