John Crysostom on Homosexuality

Revisiting a project I began many moons ago - refuting revisionist theology on homosexuality.

Looking now at the writings of select church fathers,in order to learn how they preached on the subject of human sexuality.
One of the greatest minds of the early church,
John Chrysostom (347-407),served as archbishop of Constantinople.

He denounced homosexuality in his Homilies on Romans:
"...the desire of intercourse effected, and united the sexes to one another. This desire the devil having taken away, and having turned the course thereof into another fashion, he thus sundered the sexes from one another, and made the one to become two parts in opposition to the law of God."
