The run-up is over, as this episode Dr. Jenkins, back from Rome and recovered from Holy Week and Pascha, begins in earnest the events and implications of the Council of Florence.

In this episode Dr. Jenkins finishes his discussion of the events in the West that made the Council of Florence a reality, one in which, unlike Lyons in 1274, the theological differences between the Latins and the Greeks were fully aired and discussed.

On this Great and Holy Thursday Dr. Jenkins takes a pause to reflect on the Eucharist and the nature of Love in the Church.

At the beginning of the 15th century the doctrine that the council stood over the pope dominated the Latin Church, and its ascendence provided a necessary ingredient for the coming council of Florence. Dr. Jenkins takes this episode to explain this movement. https://tinyurl.com/FrDamickDrMoritz
