A wonderful work on the tragic schism

James Likoudis is a convert from Eastern Orthodoxy and works hard to try and reunite the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches. Little of the work is actually written by James; most of it is translations. My text, the second edition, a biography of Demetrios Kydones and the apologia for his conversion, a chapter on Eastern Orthodoxy, one on Rome, the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas, a talk on Nikos Nissiotis and Alexis Stawrowsky, Aquinas' "Contra Errores Graecorum," and letters by St. Peter Damian, John de Fonitbus, and finally a talk given by Pope John Paul II.To the reviewer who said this is modern day prooftexting: how can it be? Likoudis writes little of his own. All apologetics (what would be contraversial) is from before 1400.Lastly, the books are available online from the author. http://credo.stormloader.com/endbyzan.htm

Healing the Tragic Schism

In this well-written book, James Likoudis demonstrates the doctrinal incoherence and irrationality of what has been aptly termed the Byzantine Schism. He shows convincingly that the divine Primacy of the See of Rome in the Church and the dual Procession of the Holy Spirit are dogmatic truths lived and professed in the Church long before the tragic Schism between the churches solidified. Likoudis' book should be read by all Christians, and especially by those Eastern Orthodox seeking a serene examination of the doctrinal issues still dividing their churches from full communion with the Apostolic See.
