"No leader can appear and prove to be superior to the Church. Whoever fights against and persecutes the Church is not making a simple mistake, but a foolish and largely incomprehensible error. [...] Certainly, societies need rulers. However, the right ruler knows and tries to empathize, that is, to suffer along with the people. Most importantly, he becomes a servant of God and a guide for the people."

Two wonderful discourses by Saint John Chrysostom addressed to the Supreme Eutropius and to all of us! Two discourses that are still relevant today!
