Epic Session 2 Notes

In Session 2, Steve Weidenkopf spoke of persecutions to the Church, plus the beginning of heresies and schisms. The study guide has charts for all of these in the Appendix; for those who are not using the guide, here are online sources for you:

Persecutions

Persecuting Roman Emperors (this is not a Catholic site, but it seems accurate)
The Empire and the Early Church, a Tale of Persecution and Justice. An essay by Christopher Check, president of Catholic Answers.

Heresies

The Great Heresies from Catholic Answers

A Short Guide to Ancient Heresies by Kenneth Whitehead

Schisms

This entry from the Catholic Encyclopedia is quite long and isn't the easiest to read, but if you scroll down, you'll find a list of the principal schisms in the Church.

Recommended Reading

About Epiphany Studies

This is the place to find out what's happening with Epiphany Studies, a group led by Mark and Celine McCoy that meets to study the Bible and other Catholic subjects in the Birmingham, AL area.

We have been leading Bible studies at Our Lady of Sorrows parish, St. Francis Xavier parish, and at Guadalupe Hall on the grounds of EWTN. These studies are free and open to all--with the understanding that they are taught from a Catholic perspective.
