"THE DIVINE PRIMACY OF THE BISHOP OF ROME
AND MODERN EASTERN ORTHODOXY"

A book by Dr. James Likoudis

 


 

Tim Staples
Senior Apologist, Catholic Answers
In the remarkably fruitful Catholic-Orthodox dialogue begun in new and dramatic fashion in 1965, few if any laypersons have had the impact of Jim Likoudis. For decades now, Likoudis has dispelled myths and helped overcome what seemed like insurmountable obstacles to full communion between Catholics and members of the various Orthodox churches. The Divine primacy of the Bishop of Rome and Modern Eastern Orthodoxy is that one must-read book that sums up Likoudis’ work to this end. Likoudis and his grandson, Andrew, have done an enormously important service to the Church and the world in giving us this great edition of a truly extraordinary book.

From the Primacy of Peter to the Photian affair and the Palamite controversy, this is high-level apologetics and high-level Catholic-Orthodox ecumenism. Likoudis is ever courteous but never compromising. His device of composing fifty-two letters addressed to “Euthymios” a pseudonym representing numerous Eastern Orthodox polemicists with whom Likoudis corresponded over the years, adds a personal touch that makes for engaging reading. I cannot imagine a better introduction to the issues that continue to divide East and West or, conversely, point the way to reconciliation, than this book.



Michael Lofton
Host and Founder, Reason & Theology
The eminent James Likoudis has given Catholics and Eastern Orthodox an outstanding gift with this work. In a way that is incredibly accessible, he explains-and refutes-the main points of contentions that Orthodox have against Catholicism. I highly recommend this work for those Orthodox who desire to know why they should enter into Catholic communion, for Catholics who wish to defend their faith, and for all others who would like to understand the historical and theological controversies surrounding the Catholic and Orthodox divide.
