What is Orthodox Ecclesiology? For outsiders, it may seem that the Orthodox Church is structured the same way as the Catholic Church, just without a pope. However, in this video, Fr. Laurent Cleenewerck, author of His Broken Body, walks us through the Eucharistic Ecclesiology of the Orthodox Church. He contrasts this with the more institutional model of the Catholic Church, as well as exploring what this means for ecumenical work between Catholics and Orthodox. It's a fascinating conversation, and we talk about topics like what it would take for Catholics and Orthodox to reunite and whether or not the Orthodox need a pope for their church structure to work. If your interested in Orthodoxy, ecumenism, or ecclesiology in general, I think you'll really enjoy this.
