noted in 1981: "This book has been sorely needed for well over a decade". The book was republished in 2006.
A convert to the Catholic Church in 1952, Likoudis has since devoted a great deal of his efforts to foster the reunion of the Eastern Orthodox churches with the Catholic Church. Likoudis' book, Ending the Byzantine Greek Schism (2nd revised edition, 1992) deals with the historical and theological issues raised by Eastern Orthodoxy.
Likoudis' latest work is The Divine Primacy of the Bishop of Rome and Modern Eastern Orthodoxy: Letters to a Greek Orthodox on the Unity of the Church, which refutes the objections to the Papacy made by Protestants and Eastern Orthodox. Likoudis' essay, To be Truly Orthodox is to be in Communion with Peter's See (1988), he gives an account of his personal journey to the Catholic Church.
Likoudis has lectured extensively throughout the English-speaking world on issues affecting education, family life, and the role of the laity
in the Catholic Church. Likoudis has written extensively for The Wanderer
