Fr. Michael O’Loughlin priest from Holy Protection of the Mother of God Byzantine Catholic Church, Denver on Catholic Radio now. Listen Live Now
 
Thank you! I shared it in my little circles.

I heard Fr. Michael explain the difference between rites and churches twice and I don’t think Jerry caught on yet.
 
Fr Michael says:

“We don’t speak of a moment of consecration” since the Epiklesis follows the Words of Institution.

Caller says most of the Eastern Catholic priests he’s encountered appear crypto-Orthodox.

“Many Latin Catholics call Purgatory a place…It’s a difference of understanding.”
 
Answer to someone who knows young men thinking of transferring to the Byzantine Church and later getting ordained as a married priest. General discouragement but he does say:

“Find a Byzantine Catholic parish…if after 5 years you’ve fallen in love with our Church, then we could talk.”
 
I was on hold but didn’t get on…

I wanted to ask:

“Many Eastern Catholics I’ve talked to say they are Orthodox Christians in communion with Rome? Is that self-designation really possible considering the different ecclesiologies held by Orthodoxy and Catholicism?”

Maybe next time.
 
I thought he did a great job. 👍 I think he made it clear that what that caller disparagingly called “crypto-Orthodox” is actually orthodox Eastern Catholicism. He was entirely respectful but made clear how we don’t share the same practices and teachings as the Latin Church on a number of topics.

I’ve made so many requests to this station that they have an ECC priest on for Catholic Answers Live. I won’t take credit for this happening but I do think it’s important that we tell them what we want. We can’t control what happens with our feedback. 🙂

I encourage all of you to contact them and express your appreciation for having this hour program with Fr. Michael and say you hope he’ll be back often.

I’ll ask them is this is archived somewhere. They do repeat these Catholic Answers Live shows a number of times, and this was the actual live one tonight so it will be repeated. Check here for when it’s repeated on your local Catholic Radio.

I agree! I only listened to the first half before I had to leave and it left me respecting Fr. Michael’s patience and tact.
 
I had a response from Diana Hafliger, Assistant Producer—Catholic Answers Live. They produced the program on Immaculate Heart Radio.

Please write to her and say thanks and ask for more of this.

I’d like to see Fr. Michael back monthly. He did a very good job. If they want to being on some of our other EC priests great. No everyone is gifted in this kind of quick Q&A.
