He holds a Bachelors of Sacred Theology from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome. In Today's Show: Could you explain the difference in the concepts of original sin in the East versus West? As Western Catholics, are we able to venerate Eastern Saints or ask for their intercession? How does one experience a beatific vision? Do many, or few, go to heaven? Were my parents married in the proper way? Why are there so many "types" of Catholics, and do they get along? Are there any traditions in the Melkite church that have come about because of Latinization?
