LIKOUDIS
LEGACY FOUNDATION

“...several thinkers I admire and respect. Let me mention, among others, . . . James Likoudis.”

“In the field of Catholic-Orthodox dialogue, James Likoudis figures as one of the most prominent Catholic apologists.”

“James Likoudis is a noted Catholic writer on the separated Eastern Churches. There is much to be learned from his stirring accounts of Easterners who embraced their true home, the Catholic Church.”

"In our modern era of mass communication, the Ecumenical work of reunion will not be carried out in full without lay involvement. And there is, perhaps, no member of the laity of either of the 'two lungs' of apostolic faith that has done more to further the dialogue than James Likoudis."

“Dr. Likoudis is a living example of how to dialogue with the Orthodox about important differences without falling into a rigid fundamentalism that refuses to see grace present in the Orthodox church.”

“For many years . . . James Likoudis has been a tireless laborer for fraternal dialogue between Catholic and Orthodox Christians. Few know these two ecclesial worlds so thoroughly and few can so successfully untie the knots of misunderstanding that have gotten in the way of reconciliation.”

“Likoudis really does occupy a singular place in the literature of his time. Faithful, yet not crazy. I think a good many people appreciate him for his careful judgments about the post-conciliar situation as it was developing. Very few people got it so right.”

“James Likoudis was one of several mentors from whom I was privileged to learn when I was struggling to become more effective in defending and advancing the Catholic faith, in my twenties. Likoudis was already established as a proponent of authentic Catholic renewal, a leading opponent of [secularly-driven] sex education in school, and a champion of the Magisterium.”
