Thank you so helpful. I have his book and had forgotten about it. Just got it out and I’m gonna start reading it again.

23:12 Pantocrator Mt. Sinai is my favorite painting of Christ.

More than one of Ambrose's contemporaries record him as having previously lived unchastely. Jerome, who was of course sore that he (Jerome) did not get made bishop of Rome, was critical about how Ambrose went directly from his old life of sin to being a consecrator of virgins without any intervening period of humble penitence. But another biographer who was a personal friend of Ambrose also speaks of Ambrose's past unchaste life (can't remember that name offhand). For him this theme of virginity was not only because of his sister but because it was a way of expressing that now he embraced perfect continence, and associating himself with chastity in a way that was necessary for a Christian leader. It's really unfortunate that all these three men, Ambrose, Jerome and Augustine, by themselves being penitents and exalting women who needed no penance, enshrined Roman society's double standard within the Church. Everyone is meant to live chastely, and everyone's chastity is of value. But to this day it's not treated that way in the Church.

This peculiar emperor Julian dubbed Athanasius as "hardly a man....only a little manikin"
