Beyond Rome
Beyond Rome is a podcast that seeks to reconnect Catholics with their Hebraic and Christian roots in the Near East. Hosted by Simone Rizkallah and James O’Reilly from the Philos Catholic team at the Philos Project, they explore a variety of topics related to religion and culture in the West and why the Near East matters for a healthy Church and world. Beyond Rome looks beyond the West to understand what makes the Catholic Church truly universal.

4. The New Evangelization Must Start From Jerusalem
This week Simone Rizkallah and James O’Reilly talk to Fr. Hezekias Carnazzo, a married priest in the Melkite Church, about his journey from Roman Catholicism to the East, his founding of the Institute of Catholic Culture, and his thoughts on the urgency of Catholics to tap into their Hebraic and Near Eastern Christian roots.
Beyond Rome is available on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and a variety of other media platforms!
The New Evangelization, in order to be modern and effective, must start from Jerusalem: it must begin from the first Christian community anchored to the person of Christ, having a cause for which it is willing to face any sacrifice and to give the gift of life itself. -Patriarch Fouad Twal
