Undue praise
Chrysostom was arguably among the most vicious Jew-haters in Nicene era—this is one of his quotes:
| “ | The synagogue is worse than a brothel… it is the den of scoundrels and the repair of wild beasts… the temple of demons devoted to idolatrous cults… the refuge of brigands and dabauchees, and the cavern of devils… a criminal assembly of Jews… a place of meeting for the assassins of Christ… a house worse than a drinking shop… a den of thieves, a house of ill fame, a dwelling of iniquity, the refuge of devils, a gulf and an abyss of perdition…. I would say the same things about their souls…. As for me, I hate the synagogue…. I hate the Jews for the same reason. | ” |
