The Divine Primacy of the Bishop of Rome and Modern Eastern Orthodoxy

James Likoudis's story is much like mine. Raised Greek Orthodox and never heard a homily on Matthew 16 which struck fully true. In time, when the faith becomes important you find yourself asking these questions and seeing the evidence around you... you begin diving into history.I've heard James's testimony but while watching Reason and Theology I saw his grandson plugging the book, Good man and I had to buy... this book is a Greek Orthodox man's eye opening lifetimes insight on the Papacy. Can't wait to read it! Thank you Dr. James Likoudis

extremely helpful

This book is a helpful guide both to Eastern Orthodox seeking the fullness of the faith, as well as to Catholics seeking answers to the most complicated questions non-Catholics might pose regarding the Papacy, the Catholic Magisterium more broadly, Church History - especially patristics, and questions about scripture and dogma.

Despite real progress made in ecumenical relations between Catholics and Eastern Orthodox, the last few years have seen an increase in bitter attacks on Papal Supremacy and Infallibility by some Eastern Orthodox (some of them former Protestants, others former Catholics).In *The Divine Primacy of the Bishop of Rome and Modern Eastern Orthodoxy: Reply to a Former Catholic*, James Likoudis treats in detail of Eastern Orthodox ecclesiology and replies to objections made to Catholic doctrine on the Pope's Primacy of Supremacy and Infallibility, on the Procession of the Holy Spirit, on the Filioque clause, on the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception, on Purgatory, and on the Development of Doctrine.
