Partial transcript
- Archimandrite Robert Taft, Father Peter Galadza, Father Andriy Chirovsky, Father Myroslav Tatatryn
- 1:40 Catholic Theological Society of America
- 1:55 Many people today do not know what Eastern Catholicism is, not aware of theology. This question is not discussed much among Eastern Catholics
- 2:44 "Eastern Catholic Theology - Is There Any Such Thing?"
- 4:07 Canon law
- 5:17 Robert Taft provides a fascinating survey of where Catholic theology in the past several centuries has been and is headed today. He identifies the key characteristics of Catholic theology
- 6:12 Eastern Catholics are in reaction, cornered, pressured because of indifference encountered in the past
- 7:17 Second Vatican Council
- 7:50 Eastern Catholicism is in the making. It is future oriented rather than oriented toward the past. Jaroslav Pelikan
- 9:30 Eastern Catholics are self-conscious, aware of small size and stature lacking seminaries, institutions, colleges, monasteries, that Orthodox have
- 10:58 Eastern Catholicism is "open and unashamedly eclectic" blending East and West
- 11:48 Madonna House Apostolate, Archbishop Joseph Raya
- 12:47 Eastern Catholicism rejects pseudo-antithesis between East and West, false polarization
- 13:15 Proverb: When a Russian sees a foreigner they say "Huh, might be an enemy." When an Arab sees a foreigner they say "Huh, might be a customer."
- 14:00 Eastern Catholicism forms an integrated whole connected to its ascetic and aesthetic contexts. The theology, liturgy, spirituality, and canon law go together. Is ecumenical seeking to reconcile and unite rather than confute and dominate
- 15:25 Taft has demonstrable mastery of Eastern Catholicism, but has a dyadic view of the church
- 16:05 First millennium of the Church is our reference point, an undivided church. Four families of Eastern Christianity: Assyrian Church of the East, Oriental Orthodox, Eastern Orthodox, Eastern Catholics
- 17:10 We have lost theological, canonical, and liturgical heritage. Eastern Orthodox were byzantinized and lost
- 18:04 Armenian heritage reappropriated by the Catholic Church. Catholic Church considered itself the Latin Church
- 19:01 Eastern Catholics lament the loss of communion with the Greek East and Latin West. Tragedy to lose Syrian tradition, Coptic tradition, Ethiopic tradition, Jacobite tradition, etc.
- 23:20 Orthodox have often, with deep conviction, were unable to acknowledge developments in the west
- 23:52 Peter Galadza, Second Vatican Council, George Weigel "Catholics don't have paradigm shifts"
- 25:20 Helps us grasp trinitarian mystery. Unitatis Redintegratio, Lumen Gentium, Orientalium Ecclesiarum
- 26:20 Move beyond fixation of Orthodox-Catholic axis, Ukrainian Orthodox-Ukrainian Catholic axis
- 28:30 Orthodox theologians, Orthodox examples necessary but insufficient. Move beyond parochialism and a "stultifying particularism" in favour of "legitimate particularity"
- 31:01 Relationship between the one and the many
- 32:25 Andriy Chirvosky, Orthodox in communion with Rome. Most Orthodox tend to see their distinctiveness at odds with Latin West tradition
- 33:22 Eastern Catholic Modus operandi
- 36:30 "Orthodoxy in Dialogue" blog; Can you be Orthodox in communion with Rome?
- 37:36 Chirovsky says East and West end up at the same destination, following different routes
- 38:23 Churches have not just historically criticized each other's position, but anathematized each other
- 40:17 Sheptytsky Institute is the fruit of Chirovsky's vision
- 50:35 Paul Ricœur, On Translation

Mr. Butcher was my religion professor back when I was in university (1st and 2nd year). He's the one who introduced me to the Eastern Catholic Churches, the Church Fathers, and various practices that were foreign to me. I didn't know it then, but he was the catalyst for my interest in the Church Fathers and Eastern Catholicism ever since.
This is great! We are One Holy Church, and is great we're all finally back in one table, different manners, but the same DNA. I love how the church is so diverse in its unity, like an earthly Trinity. Love to my eastern brothers.
Congratulations for the channel.
One of the best lectures I have ever seen. An eye opening presentation
I believe in the Filioque and that has not caused my beard to fall out or my bass voice to go tenor or my knees too weak to stand through an All-Night-Vigil nor has it made me minimize the Fasts.
Our difference in practice confirms the unity of our Faith. When in Rome and all that . :)
Pope Leo III might disagree on the necessity of the Filioque to make sense of the creed in Latin
But wait, can the Catholic Caldean Church, in full communion with Rome, teach Nestorianism?
I got the 100th like. Jussayin.
47:48 1.3, not 1.6
Eastern catholic and western orthodox. Whats the difference?
Western Orthodox in style and rubrics looks a lot like the Tridentine Mass. The priest faces ad Orientum and uses the Mass promulgated by Pope St. Pius V in Latin.
Thank you. I'm Chaldean-Syrian so neither Papal nor Orthodox. We currently attend an Orthodox church after years of RC. We are both far more comfortable with Orthodoxy than even Eastern RC. Your linguistics issue is very good. I am considered Nestorian.....OK, I'll go with that.What is wrong with that? I have studied it. It is pole vaulting over jots and tittles. And then Cyril set up a kangaroo court to get his enemy. Now I am not defending Nestorius, I am pointing out how political everything can become and how some scholars now feel that in this case the language was the issue. And some one upmanship. This could get too long and deep, must stop myself. BTW, I was born protestant. I'm a combat wounded veteran of Viet Nam. From atheism to "born again". As my parents always told me "God looks out for fools and drunks"
In this case it isn't a political divide but a Christological one. To say that the Christ is in two persons (prosopon) is an absolutely abominable heresy. This is what Nestorius taught.
Convert to the Catholic faith
Welcome to the faith brother. I'm a Syro-Malabar Christian (Syro-Chaldean) in India. Christ does have strange ways of bringing us to the faith.
@@dioscoros The actual case was far from Christological and was mainly political. Two main reasons.
1. Some bishops of the major Patriarchal sees wanted to subdue Nestorius since the start of the Council (before he expressed his ideas).
2. Nestorius never advocated two-person theology.
Nestorius never introduced not advocated the two-person heresy. However, he protested against Blessed Mary being addressed as "Mother of God". He feared the people in the East would see her as a Goddess (because some early pagan converts to Christianity went to the temple of Artemis after the Holy Mass). So instead, Nestorius proposed the title "Mother of Christ". The bishops who wanted to subdue Nestorius saw this as a chance and accused him of advocating the two-nature heresy.
The core of Nestorius's arguments was not heretical. But some bishops of the East started advocating this two-nature heresy later on.
@@bijogeojose7209 he obviously must have taught some heresy. the holy ecumenical councils can never be wrong or can be biased . furthermore pope leo called the council presided over by him robber council which it is....
