Coptic Orthodox Priest Fr. Lazarus Yassa is the devoted shepherd who left journalism and psychology to embrace the ancient Coptic call — and through centuries of painful division, God has stirred his heart to speak boldly about healing the broken Body of Christ. From a truth-seeker in California to priest at Christ the Good Shepherd in Long Beach, he carries the scars of Chalcedon and the longing of John 17.

In this heart-stirring episode of Istoryang Katoliko, Fr. Lazarus Yassa bares the wounds of history and fragile hope for unity: Chalcedon’s trauma (“Rome slaughtered us by the hundreds of thousands”), papal supremacy (“If you don't have the Pope, you don't have the Church?”), the filioque as a healable wound, and why reunion may only come through persecution in the face of the Antichrist.

He shares:

“With God all things are possible… Maybe in our lifetime, but it might be through persecution when the Antichrist comes.”

We talked about balance of power vs. one-man supremacy, honoring St. Mary above religion, acknowledging mutual wounds, and how the Lord’s prayer “that they may all be one” might only be fulfilled in crisis.

If you’ve ever ached for Church unity, felt the pain of 1,500 years of separation, or wondered if only shared persecution will bring us back together — this episode will touch your heart, stir your prayers, and kindle hope for one Body in Christ.
