“Andrew Likoudis is a talented Catholic writer and thinker. I admire those who, while remaining faithful to the Church, her doctrine, and her tradition, possess an organic, natural, and fresh vision—open to the signs of God in the soul and in the times. Fidelity to tradition and openness to the breath of the Holy Spirit: this is the case with Andrew, who deeply loves the Church and is filially united to Peter. I value his ability to address profound theological questions with clarity and conviction, as well as his temperance in discussing crucial issues with deep respect and well-grounded arguments.”

Very Rev. Canon Francis J. Tiso, PhD
Fmr. Assoc. Director, USCCB Secretariat for Ecumenical & Interreligious Affairs; Faculty, Pontifical Gregorian University
“Andrew Likoudis’ work with the Likoudis Legacy Foundation and his editorial efforts reflect an authentic appreciation of the Church’s mission of unity. He has a strong capacity for bringing together diverse scholarly voices in service of that mission. In my experience working with him as a writer and theologian, I can attest that he is not only at home in Catholic theological territory, but also knows how to bring a complex project to completion to the satisfaction of both contributors and readers.”

Msgr. Arthur A. Holquin, S.T.L.
Rector Emeritus, Mission Basilica San Juan Capistrano; Episcopal Vicar, Diocese of Orange
“Andrew Likoudis writes with the kind of quiet conviction that comes not from ideology but from genuine love of the Church and her liturgy. I commend his work to anyone seeking clarity in a confused moment.”

Rev. Brendan Fitzgerald
Rector, Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary — America’s First Cathedral
“For several years now, I have witnessed Andrew’s commitment to the Church. He works hard to make genuine contributions to our theological conversations, wanting nothing more than for others to gain a better understanding of essential elements of the Church’s identity and mission: unity, tradition, and worship. Just as important, Andrew is dedicated to the work of his local Church, always looking for helpful ways to serve in our Archdiocese.”

Thomas J. Nash
Staff Apologist & Speaker, Catholic Answers; Former Theology Advisor, EWTN
“Andrew is a dedicated, meticulous, and organized editor. He’s responsive, detail-oriented, and genuinely committed to producing serious work.”

Dr. Anne DeSantis, ThD
Executive Director, St. Raymond Nonnatus Foundation; Author, The Virtue of Affability
“Andrew Likoudis is a gifted young Catholic editor and organizer whose commitment to the Church’s mission is matched by his personal affability. He is the kind of collaborator the Church needs more of.”

Mike Aquilina

“I am grateful to Andrew Likoudis for his diligence in carrying forward the legacy of his grandfather, James Likoudis—who was a voice of sanity and clarity in a time of great confusion.”

Dr. Philip Blosser
Professor of Philosophy, Sacred Heart Major Seminary
“Having known the Likoudis family for many years, I can say that Andrew has taken up his grandfather’s mantle with both filial piety and genuine intellectual substance. His prolific output and his leadership of the Foundation reflect a young man of uncommon seriousness and dedication to the Church.”

Pedro Gabriel, MD
Award-Winning Catholic Author & Co-Founder, Where Peter Is
“Andrew Likoudis is a worthy successor of his grandfather, the great Vatican II apologist James Likoudis. Andrew is extremely knowledgeable of the Catholic faith and about the intricacies of the magisteria of the post-conciliar popes. He’s also a gifted apologist.”
