In this episode of Searchers of the Lost, Fr. Nathan Symeon — a Byzantine Catholic priest, and Dr. Mathew Minerd (scholar) dive deep into one of the most pressing conversations in the modern Church: the legacy of Vatican II, the rise of Catholic traditionalism, and the relationship between Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism.

Vatican 2 was part of a broader movement to return to the ancient traditions, which can identified in both the Orthodox and Catholic churches. It was based on principles of Patristic considerations on proper forms of change and does not necessarily imply aberrations one notes in many Latin churches today. 

From unique Eastern Catholic perspective, they offer both critique and hope, exploring how the Church can remain faithful to her tradition while navigating the turbulent waters of modernity. This is a must-listen for anyone seeking clarity on the historical, spiritual, and theological tensions shaping our time.
