Searchers of the Lost: orthodox-catholic podcast
Welcome to the Searchers of the Lost podcast! Search for the Lord with us in this orthodox catholic podcast
Join us every two weeks for new episodes.
As a searcher, I am convinced that there are so many fellow searchers out there who desire to dig deeper and search harder for the Lord (Matt.7:7), even as our mother did when Jesus was busy about the Father's buisness in the temple. My journey has been long, difficult, blessed, traversing various Protestant denominations, Orthodoxy and Catholicism, and I am positive it has not ended. Thus, this podcast is Christian, catholic, and orthodox, and everyone who loves these things should feel at home here. This priest and those I bring onto this podcast love Jesus and His Church, and our hope is to invite others into charitable and intelligent dialogue and debate, that one day we "may all be one" (John 17:21).
Remember when commenting: “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.”
― St. Augustine

Are Byzantine Catholics "orthodox" or "catholic"?
Byzantine Catholicism Orthodox, Catholic, or both? In this video, we explore the fascinating and complex identity of the Byzantine Catholic Church. We delve into its theology, liturgical traditions, and historical roots, comparing its connections to both the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church. Most importantly, I point out the adjectival meaning of "orthodox" and "catholic" in the Crede. From early Church Fathers to modern councils, this discussion covers a lot of ground to unpack what it means to be Byzantine Catholic today.
