Dialogue: Orthodox Priest and Catholic Apologist Discuss the Papacy and Ecclesiology

In this video, Orthodox priest, Fr. Laurent Cleenewerck, and Catholic Apologist, Erick Ybarra, discuss the papacy. However, this isn't your usual battle of proof texts. Instead, we dive deep into questions of ecclesiology which get to the root of the disagreement between Catholics and Orthodox. Throughout the course of the discussion, Fr. Laurent and Erick tackle questions like:1. Did Catholics and Orthodox EVER agree on the papacy? 2. What does Roman primacy mean?3. What can we learn from the Council of Serdica?4. When does papal primacy turn into papal supremacy?5. What's the nature of the Church?Fr Laurent Cleenewerck is an Orthodox priest serving as rector of St Innocent Orthodox Church in Eureka, California, in the Orthodox Church in America diocese of the West.
