Chaldean Catholic Identity Crisis: Youth Embracing Tradition [Ep. 66]

We explore what it truly means to be a Chaldean Catholic by giving historical context, explaining the importance of tradition, and listing the challenges faced by modern youth. We discuss the balance between maintaining our rich heritage and adapting to contemporary times. Also, we examine the 2025 National Study of Catholic Priests and react to the findings, mainly the statistics that point to younger priests preferring tradition over conformity. This is the last episode on this set, so look out for our revamped look on the next one!

Featuring: Fr. Simon Esshaki, Fr. Augustine, Fr. Christopher Somo, Abbot Ankido Sipo
