Eugene, can you clarify this sentence:
"In any case, it seems to me that Ambrose gave it so much prominence for ideological reasons: it clearly employed relics of the passion to insist upon the sovereignty of the
church over imperial rule."
Can you point to where Ambrose "gave it so much prominence", and what exactly "employed relics of the passion to insist upon the sovereignty of the church over imperial rule"?
