St. John Chrysostom: Patron Saint of Telling It Like It Is: On bishops

In Acta Apostolorum 3,5-6:

I speak not otherwise than it is, but as I find it in my own actual experience. I do not think there are many among bishops that will be saved.

[…]

Do not tell me that the priest or the deacon is at fault. Their guilt comes upon the head of those who ordained them.

    Scary.

    I think this is the right link to that homily.

    Another similar quote from St. John Chrysostom:
    “The road to hell is paved with the skulls of erring priests, with bishops as their sign posts.”

    [That is spurious. There is no such quote about hell or skulls in what we have of St. John Chrysostom.]

    Could this be the source of something else that the Prophet plagarized from Christian and/or Old Testament sources?

    I think he must have been referring to Masses like this when he made that statement. I may be committing a sin with that statement and with this video but I stand by it. No drum kits in a sanctuary EVER. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFBnShVXbUs
