About

Andrew Likoudis is a Catholic scholar, editor, and consultant whose work spans ecclesiology, ecumenism, and Catholic institutional life. His research and writing address the intersection of tradition and reform in the contemporary Church.
His major scholarly project is Faith in Crisis: Critical Dialogues in Catholic Traditionalism, Church Authority, and Reform—a 40-chapter volume he organized and edited, coordinating 30+ contributors across three continents. The work features chapters by Cardinal Robert Sarah, Mike Aquilina, Jimmy Akin, Rafael Luciani, and other leading theologians, with endorsements from Cardinal Odilo Scherer and Rodrigo Guerra, Secretary of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America. It carries an imprimatur from Archbishop William E. Lori. He has edited or compiled 10 volumes on Catholic ecclesiology and the papacy.
As founder and chairman of the Likoudis Legacy Foundation, he built a 501(c)(3) research institute from the ground up—establishing governance structures, recruiting a distinguished advisory council of theologians and scholars, launching a fellows program, and founding The Kydones Review, a peer-reviewed journal of which he serves as editor-in-chief.
His communications work includes 40+ published articles in major Catholic outlets: the National Catholic Register, Where Peter Is, Philosophy Now, and EWTN News. He has conducted exclusive interviews with Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone and provided coverage of the USCCB General Assembly.
His institutional experience includes three years on the Archdiocesan Pastoral Council of Baltimore advising Archbishop Lori, supporting a $5 million capital campaign at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen, professional development with McKinsey and Co.'s Forward program, and fellowships with Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses and Johns Hopkins University.
Andrew is a dedicated parishioner at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary—America's First Cathedral—where he worked with the rector to obtain first-class relics of Pope Saint John Paul II from Rome and Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta from the Missionaries of Charity, for the Basilica's perpetual adoration chapel and its street-mission program, Source of All Hope. He previously served as an altar server, lector, and member of the polyphony and Gregorian chant schola cantorum, and has also sung with the Gregorian chant schola at the National Shrine of St. Alphonsus.
Outside of his scholarly and apostolic work, Andrew brings over a decade of hospitality experience—nearly ten years managing Airbnb listings as a Superhost, plus fine dining at Charleston, ranked among OpenTable's Top 10 restaurants in America and Baltimore Magazine's #1 in Maryland. He enjoys kayaking, dancing bachata, and playing chess.

Praise
"I welcome initiatives such as this volume, Faith in Crisis, which seeks to reaffirm ecclesial communion and the authentic meaning of the liturgy. There is only one 'Mass of the Ages': the one regulated by the Church's living Magisterium. The rite of the Eucharistic celebration is neither eternal nor immutable. It belongs to the Church, through the authority of her living Magisterium, to establish the rite of the Eucharist. To deny the Second Vatican Council is to deny the Catholic faith in the Church itself."† Odilo Pedro Cardinal SchererArchbishop of São Paulo, Brazil
"Faith in Crisis seems to me to be a providential initiative that allows us to appreciate, through different voices, how much we need to overcome pharisaical attitudes and rediscover, with simplicity, the most elementary thing: Christianity is not a set of values—however correct they may be—but a living Person encountered in the Church."Rodrigo Guerra, PhDSecretary, Pontifical Commission for Latin America; Ordinary Member, Pontifical Academy for Life; Ordinary Member, Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences; Professor, Pontifical Lateran University
"Faith in Crisis is essential reading for all who are dedicated to safeguarding the Church's sapience while courageously embracing its future."Ines Angeli Murzaku, PhDProfessor of Ecclesiastical History; Founding Chair, Department of Catholic Studies, Seton Hall University
"It is important as Catholics that we not lose sight of the fact that the divine genius of the Church is its uncanny ability to retain doctrinal and liturgical integrity in the midst of the vicissitudes and contingencies within the wide range of cultures, political systems, and nations in which the Church must proclaim the Gospel. Faith in Crisis is an important contribution to our better understanding and appreciation of that genius."Francis J. Beckwith, PhDProfessor of Philosophy & Church-State Studies, Baylor University
"While Catholic tradition is good and beautiful, fundamentalism disguised as traditionalism is false and can be downright ugly. Faith in Crisis has assembled an excellent team of authors to show where this fundamentalism goes wrong and how to authentically embrace Catholic tradition."Trent Horn, MAHost of The Counsel of Trent; Author of Why We're Catholic
"Faith in Crisis is a godsend for our times. In the post-conciliar Church, it seems there is a need to get back to basics when it comes to defending the Faith... Andrew Likoudis has done the Church a great service by presenting the teaching of the living Magisterium, that can serve as a guide for all to truly 'listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches' specifically for the Church and our world today."Tim StaplesSenior Apologist, Catholic Answers
"This is a splendid collection, and one that can be fruitfully consulted not only by Catholics seeking a way past the ecclesial impasses of the present, but by Christians in every communion who value tradition but want to resist the rigorism and frequent truculence of 'traditionalism'... it is a call to remember that the deepest and most essential resource of Catholic tradition is the law of love."David Bentley Hart, PhDCollaborative Researcher, University of Notre Dame
"There is a need for mature, sober, thoughtful discussion about the trends that are affecting the Catholic Church today... I don't agree with everything in this anthology. And I think that's the point. Each essay is serious and insightful and contributes to a conversation that needs to happen."Fr. Carter GriffinRector, St. John Paul II Seminary, Washington, DC
"As a pastor, you see good and faithful believers struggling with questions about tradition and authority in the Church almost every day. After decades of very difficult times for the Church and its believers, those who continue practicing the faith are not only committed and invested, but also desire the gifts of clarity and hope... The essays collected in Faith in Crisis give the reader these gifts of clarity and hope. The reader walks away with a better understanding of how to think about the life of the Church today, with a better sense of what really matters, and with a deeper conviction that together, and by the grace of God, the future is filled with possibility."Fr. Brendan FitzgeraldRector, Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary—America's First Cathedral
