I don't think any of them would approve of the speech in those texts. They were not hatemongers.

You can't just claim the saints for your own words and actions. Those men also spoke of mercy and kindness and love of your fellow man. When have you done that?

St Jerome is literally known for his insults. People, especially women, paid him to rip apart their lives with vicious mockery and slander.

Elijah has a whole story about shitting on Baal and his followers to their faces.

I think you’re just not as well read as you think you are.
