The Works of James Likoudis

The Divine Primacy

The Bishop of Rome and Modern Eastern Orthodoxy

Despite real progress in ecumenical relations between Catholics and Eastern Orthodox, the last several years have seen an increase in bitter attacks on papal supremacy and infallibility. In this newly revised and expanded work, James Likoudis treats in detail Eastern Orthodox ecclesiology and replies to objections made to critical elements of Roman Catholic doctrine on: the pope's primacy of supremacy and infallibility, the procession of the Holy Spirit, the filioque clause, the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, Purgatory, and the development of doctrine.

The Pope, the Council, and the Mass

Answers to Questions the Traditionalists Have Asked

The definitive response to Traditionalist Catholics when first published in 1981, updated to include developments through the beginning of the pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI. Addressing the concerns raised by the followers of Archbishop Lefebvre and other Traditionalists, the authors give a truly Catholic understanding of Tradition, the Second Vatican Council and its implementation, and the nature of true liturgical reform. History, canon law, ecclesiastical and papal documents, and Scripture are mined in this solid apologetic for a faith that is One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic.

Faith in Crisis

Critical Dialogues in Catholic Traditionalism, Church Authority, and Reform

Faith in Crisis equips Catholics to navigate today's fiercest ecclesial debates. With a foreword by philosopher-statesman Rocco Buttiglione, the volume unfolds in three sections: Traditionalism — exposing the roots of fundamentalist rigor, private-revelation subcultures, and reactionary dissent; Church Authority — outlining papal primacy, collegiality, and the distinction between ordinary and extraordinary Magisterium; and Reform — revisiting Vatican II and the postconciliar reforms, synodality, ecumenism, and interreligious dialogue.

Amid a polarized media atmosphere and doctrinal fog, these essays offer the clarity and pastoral realism Catholics need to remain anchored in a Faith ever ancient, ever new.

Ending the Byzantine Greek Schism

Reunification of the Greek Orthodox Church with Rome

The most thorough scholarly treatment of the historical, theological, and canonical dimensions of the Catholic–Orthodox schism available in English. Likoudis marshals patristic sources, conciliar documents, and modern ecumenical exchanges to demonstrate both the legitimacy of Rome's claims and the genuine path toward reunion — a work that shaped subsequent Catholic-Orthodox dialogue for decades.
