Bishop Barron hasn't earned any praise. He's a product of the common breath (smoke of satan) that has infiltrated the Church. Mr. Barron should denounce satan and take on the armor of God. Although I don't agree with him, I will pray for Bishop Barron and I ask you to pray with me. God bless you all.

@@dr.brooksie8959 No, it's OK. You pray for Bishop Barron and we'll all pray for you.

@@liannesadler5771 Who?

@@Basilisk4119 Thank you.

Didn't know Bishop Barron until Rubin and Shapiro, so it was successful PR.

You do you believe you have to be born again to be saved

@@lucky12589 ...of water and spirit, as Christ told Nicodemus. And, if I might ask, how is it that you know this?

Yes Fr. Joseph, I will pray for you! ❤😊

@@Eowyn3Pride Thanks, appreciate that. Merry Christmas ;)

me too .. right now :)

Hello Emily

Good post, in my humble opinion

@Steve McQueen Oh, absolutely they do, nowadays, but there were times when even religious people felt the poor were poor because it was the "will of God" or other excuses, and declined to help them in any worldly way. There's a definite thread in much of the OT that worldly success or failure reflected, or was a result of a person's (or nation's) spiritual state. In fact, while we should always read the Bible for what IS there and be EXTREMELY cautious when making assumptions about what ISN'T explicitly written there, the general sense I get of James 2 is that this isn't just a 'hypothetical' case, but something that James was actually observing, so he felt the need to address. BTW, cool SN. Have you heard the song "Steve McQueen" by Sheryl Crow? You can probably pick out a half-dozen or so McQueen movies the video references, I'll bet!

The problem is not eliminating suffering by eliminating desire. It is to have untamed desire that blind you because it cause imbalance like a drunk driver that is not sober driving a car not noticing that he is doing dangerous things to himself and other and cause suffering to himself and other. Because Gnostic means knowledge. some are on the milk and other on the meat. 1 cor 3 2 The real trap is easy to find out look at the Pharises look at what they are trying to do for what motive do they try to appear good on the outside Jesus told them. Mathiew 23 26. you can also see it in the tax collector the pharises saying: thank God I am not a hypocrite like that tax collector. God choose the tax collector over the pharises. Why because the tax collector was humble enough to say that he was not perfect and was not going around accusing people of fault that he also commit to appear good on the outside. The worldly things will pass away you are in this world for just a little while. James 4 4 also in the other book. Help your self and other with a good heart and mind.

In the Mystery of the Incarnation, we profess with the infallible Church that there are in Christ two distinct nature's ..., one human like ours... and one divine. Even with the posession of these two nature's, each is united in such a way that each nature remains truly itself. This is called the hypostatic union.*

Sam czarina baron Incarnation is a difficult subject because it is NOT TRUE. I don’t want to offend but this is a very important concept that has been twisted into a ridiculous confusing falsehood, not sure why, but just remember that our God is not a God of confusion. That’s not what he wants for his children! Life’s hard enough!

Hello Regina

Æ

Jordan Peterson is superficial and a teacher of youth. He gives practical advice to teenage boys to be chaste. He stands alone. He is not Catholic. Bishop Barron is a far deeper, erudite Catholic theologian to support the spiritual maturity of thinking Catholic adults and catechists. He is also articulate and enormously ducated in Catholic history. He has so much to offer in the role of a teaching authority for serious Catholics.

Have you seen Bishop Barron's positive KZfaq video on Jordan Peterson? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNNjobmFq5-Unas.html

@@angelicdoctor8016 thanks

Connor m It hasn’t disappeared. Don’t worry.

Uncle Sam ... do you think Christ did not love the good thief? Loving the good thief does not necessitate removing him from his cross. Christ loves you. Do you think because Christ loves you, he will remove all your "crosses" in this life? Blessings and peace. Also, why do you apply political terms (liberal) to the bride of Christ, who is neither liberal nor conservative in those political senses?

@@angelicdoctor8016 You twisted this all up in your mind. I agree loving the good thief does not require removing him from the cross. My point is that today's liberal churches do believe that! You are not in touch with the times if you fail to see that the Church is indeed quite liberal, and in decline by this lack of a moral conscience. Why, the very issue we have here is a case in point, illegal immigration is condoned and supported by the Church while enriching itself. The example of Christ not removing the good thief from the cross is vastly different then supporting this unlawful act and the good thief having to pay the consequence for his crimes. Why a certain Bishop said recently anyone against illegal immigration should be excommunicated; never heard that about active supporters of abortion . It is the doctrine of repentance I speak of, wherein St Paul said not to permit sinners ( one who has not ask God for forgiveness) within the Christianity community. The modern Church is all about numbers, anything goes just pass the collection plate. As the Bible says, the blind leading the blind!

Uncle Sam. The laws of men are not the laws of God. Case in point: immigration. Careful analysis of each individual case would have to show that coming to the U.S. is a "sin". Yes, countries have a right to reasonably control who enters a country. Are you saying that U.S. immigration laws currently reflect the approach of Christ regarding respecting the dignity of persons? I think we could rather easily point out areas in which these laws are inadequate. What I'm saying is, to be a Christian nation in imitation of Christ, the U.S. must imitate Christ on the cross, not put immigrants on the cross. You, friend, have it twisted in your mind, don't you think?

@@angelicdoctor8016 @Angelic Doctor When a person, such as yourself, takes a simple argument as to what is morally right or morally wrong and attempts to sow confusion with ' dignity of person', laws are inadequate' and 'imitation pf Christ; attempting to justify what clearly is unjustifiable. Of course, you offer no clear example of Christ telling someone to lie, cheat or do whatever they feel is necessary to fulfill what they want. Nowhere in the Bible do the poor ever receive the blessing to take anything to fulfill their needs. You on the other hand feel that not acquiescing to their demands is, 'put immigrants on the cross. Which in fact supports my original argument that the Church has taken up a liberal mindset. You should seriously read and study the St. Paul and the the works of less modern Catholic writers. Such study will show how a Church in decline was once rapidly expanding. Kindly review The Antichrist by Ven. Fulton Sheen | THE WILD VOICE ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qZmVadCFstKxXac.html ) . You may find here a yardstick for comparison as to an outspoken knowledge of the direction the Church was headed. Imagine a Catholic leader today on a national forum speaking out on the evils currently confronted by the faithful. You would be hard pressed to find one Catholic priest to speak out against abortion from the pulpit. You have fallen victim to the philosophy that anything goes ( even sin) as long as it is done in the name of social justice as you see it. I prefer to call sin and wrongdoing for what they are. You see it is a slippery slope indeed when wrong outweighs the goodness of charity by placing your hand on one side of the scale of justice.

Not quite, Uncle Sam. I'm not saying that everyone who wants to enter the U.S. (or any other country) should have their demands met, but rather every single case should be evaluated with the mind of Christ, which is articulated by the official teaching of the Catholic Church, not by conservative interpretations of that teaching. Given that the U.S. is not a Catholic country, American Catholics should be lobbying ONLY for an authentic Catholic position regarding immigrants, which of course is articulated well by the USCCB, which I'm not sure that you've seen (and which you owe religious assent to, under Lumen Gentium 25): "Most Reverend Joe S. Vásquez, Bishop of Austin and Chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' (USCCB) Committee on Migration, issued the following statement in response: "Forcibly separating children from their mothers and fathers is ineffective to the goals of deterrence and safety and contrary to our Catholic values. Family unity is a cornerstone of our American immigration system and a foundational element of Catholic teaching. 'Children are a gift from the Lord, the fruit of the womb, a reward.' (Psalm 127:3) Children are not instruments of deterrence but a blessing from God. Rupturing the bond between parent and child causes scientifically-proven trauma that often leads to irreparable emotional scarring. Accordingly, children should always be placed in the least restrictive setting: a safe, family environment, ideally with their own families. My brother bishops and I understand the need for the security of our borders and country, but separating arriving families at the U.S./Mexico border does not allay security concerns. Children and families will continue to take the enormous risks of migration-including family separation-because the root causes of migration from the Northern Triangle remain: community or state-sanctioned violence, gang recruitment, poverty, and a lack of educational opportunity. Any policies should address these factors first as we seek to repair our broken immigration system." Blessing and peace, Uncle Sam.

That God Himself would take on a human nature and live the life of a servant on earth all the way to giving His life on the Cross truly is scandalous to fallen humanity! As prideful creatures, we have a hard time grasping the the revelation that God IS Love!

@Richard Benitez, Regarding your comment, "In this way humans are lifted up 'along with our sin' on earth for the greater glory of god the father. Our sin, which causes separation from The Most High God, does not glorify The Most High God. Our sin defiles His temple which is our body. You are preaching a different gospel...your own.

Megyn - I only meant that Christians as sinners are lifted up. I was trying to distinguish Catholics from the Protestant take that humans have no free will and that humans are depraved. With Protestants there is no lifting up. I am only repeating bishop Barron’s comments.

Richard, there is depth in the C faith and Eucharist.

What challenge?

Man, all I can say is listen again!

Hi im sorry, just wana ask if are you believing in 2 Gods? Father and son ?
