Saint John Chrysostom

He was a the Catholic patriarch of Constantinople who is quoted as having celebrated the Christian Destruction of Knowledge of the Library of Alexandria under the leadership of Bishop Theophilius by proclaiming: "Every trace of the old philosophy and literature of the ancient world has vanished from the face of the earth." It seem that the leaders of the early Roman Catholic Church really hated learning and knowledge.  Thankfully the Catholic Church has evolved and now has many wonderful institutions of learning.
