Ending the Byzantine Greek Schism is the definitive Catholic treatment of the theological issues that have divided East and West for nearly a thousand years. This third revised edition includes:
- the fourteenth-century Apologia of Demetrios Kydones for unity with Rome
- St. Thomas Aquinas's Contra Errores Graecorum
- an appendix addressing the question of spurious patristic texts attributed to St. Thomas
- texts from St. Peter Damian and John de Fontibus, O.P.
- original analysis by the author
James Likoudis, himself a convert from Greek Orthodoxy, provides a masterful analysis of the doctrinal questions surrounding papal primacy and the Filioque—the double procession of the Holy Spirit from both Father and Son—which remain the central obstacles to Christian reunion.
