Fr Josiah Trenham on Eastern Orthodox Theology, Catholicism, and the Reformation

Want to learn more about Eastern Orthodoxy? In this video Fr. Josiah Trenham shares his story of converting to the Orthodox Church including why he thinks Protestantism and Catholicism fall short of the fullness of the faith. Additionally, Fr. Josiah shares an Orthodox perspective on Scripture, Tradition, Salvation, and much more. Fr. Josiah talks about the "achilles heal" of Protestantism, the gap between official Catholic teaching and everyday practice, as well as the problems of papal infallibility as well as the Filioque. Of particular interest for Catholics and Orthodox alike might be his discussion of what it would take for the Orthodox and Catholic churches to unite. For Protestants, of particular interest might be Fr. Josiah's appraisal of the Reformation, its pros and cons, and what he calls "the heresy of Sola Scriptura."
