Why We Must Retell the Story of St. Photios the Great Today
Wednesday, October 7, 2026
Many older Catholic history books will label the Greeks or Orthodox as "Photian schismatics." We will explore how this phrase was used and the role of St. Photios the Great in missionary efforts as well as with the reunion between the East and West in 879.

About
In this podcast, host Cassian King engages those outside the Orthodox Faith—and helps faithful listeners learn how to do so as well—through the use of apologetics. Apologetics, simply put, means giving a reason, defense, or explanation for your beliefs. Christians have a long history of using this technique, as 1 Peter 3:15 says, “Always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you.” With respect and in a spirit of humility, this show creates a defense for the Scriptures, Church Fathers, and dogmatics, as well as for the beauty, truth, and sacramental nature of the Faith, while also engaging with current cultural issues.
