Episode Special: Bishop Milan Lach and Eastern Catholic

Most Rev. Milan Lach is the fifth and current bishop of the Eparchy of Parma in the Ruthenian Byzantine Catholic Church. Born in Slovakia, he was ordained a priest in 2001 and received a doctorate from the Pontifical Oriental Institute in Rome in 2009. In 2018, he was named as eparch [bishop] of Parma by Pope Francis. In today’s episode, we discuss:

• The different Eastern Catholic churches and their history
• Whether or not Eastern Catholics are “Orthodox in Union with Rome” or Roman Catholic
• If a Latin-rite Catholic can receive the sacraments at an Eastern Catholic church
• The differences between Eastern and Western Christianity in theology, liturgy, devotions, and sacred art
• Whether or not married priests are a good idea
• The likelihood of reunion between Catholics and Orthodox
• And more!
