12:00 During the occupation of Lviv by Soviet troops in 1939 one of the Russian pilots gave a propaganda talk at a polish high school. He said: I'm flying in the sky and there's no God there. One of the high school students answered him: when you hit the ground with a plane you will see.
Blessed Christmas: YOU CAN NO LONGER FEAR ME! Pope Benedict XVI: “God’s sign is simplicity. God’s sign is the baby. God’s sign is that he makes himself small for us. This is how he reigns. He does not come with power and outward splendor. He comes as a baby - defenseless and in need of our help. He does not want to overwhelm us with his strength. He takes away our fear of his greatness. He asks for our love: so he makes himself a child. He wants nothing other from us than our love, through which we spontaneously learn to enter into his feelings, his thoughts and his will - we learn to live with him and to practice with him that humility of renunciation that belongs to the very essence of love. God made himself small so that we could understand him, welcome him, and love him. God, who has become a child, says to us: you can no longer fear me, you can only love me.”
@@gusbeau1 Such humility is evidenced most clearly, in the Passion and Crucifixion, all of which could have been eschewed by the power and might of the Son of God, but rather, for love -a love of, and for us- was embraced to the fullest in obedience, through His love of His Father, that we, too, might share in that unfathomable Love, which is all, and everything, forever.

God is the creator of everything. He isn't some partikular thing, so isn't a breath. That is what bishop Barron teachs here on the ground of christian philosophie.
we r humans created by God in His Holy image and we are on planet earth always have been and not from any other planet. Deny as you will (those who dont believe) the Truth is the Holy Word of God in His Holy Bible. And why do people beleive they have ancestors for thousands of years but dont believe Jesus existed? because the devil lies and they believe the devil
Bishop Barron is a brilliant orator and what a wonderful gift from God he is to us laypeople. His reflection gets to the crux of the matter and right to the point. Every atheist should listen to his explanation of who God is and realize they are down the wrong rabbit hole.
As a physicist, I will attest that Quantum Physics is revealing more and more objective evidence of a conscious willfulness underlying the entirety of nature. Even paired particle and double slit experiments cannot be contemplated independent of such considerations.
Conscious willfulness is a good way to put it. Desire to exist is another accurate description. We find it In ourselves. We find it in all life on Earth. I'd even like to argue we find it in 4D space time, because that is the underlying component that fastens the 4 dimensions to each other. 🙏
Hello Sir ! Could you please elaborate. I t must be very itneresting what lies beyond the few mysterious lines you wrote us. I am serious, I'd like to hear the explanation ^^
For a hv to be transmitted, 2 electrons had to agree, even if billions of light years apart. Thusly, the universe began with a word, was redeemed by the Word, and is all one. We live in a singularity, the very mind of God. This is what fascinated R.Feymann even if he never said explicitly
I had this dream or vision the other night where I was in the middle of a pool or lake of molten metal and I and others were standing on this round platform surrounded by a force field wall watching as angels brought souls or fallen angels with fire shooting out from their backs and begging to not be let down into the pool. The one I saw was a female begging and flames coming from her back. Very bizarre dream.
Thank you Bishop Barron n keep up good work. God bless you n I watch your episode n I born as Catholic on very small island in western Pacific Ocean Micronesia. FSM Yap Is. 🙏❤️
1. Deep confusion about God. 2. Deep confusion about the Bible. 3. Deep confusion about the relationship between religion and science. 4. Deep confusion about religion as the cause of violence.
Maybe Sartre is often overvalued as "the founder of existentialism". Many philosophers see S. Kierekegaard as the first deep thinker with an existentialist approach to human life meaning and Christian faith. Arguably, Dostoevsky's novels are permeated by an existentialist view of human nature. One could even go back to Pascal´s "Pensées", which can be existentialist in their own way. To my mind, as existentialism became very influential after WW1, Martin Heidegger became the most relevant thinker in the existentialist extensive family. In closing, let's bear in mind that there have been relevant Christian existentialist, both Catholic and Protestant, of French, English, German, Russian and Spanish nationality, and probably more. All this said as inspired by Bishop Barron's mention of J.P. Sartre and without detriment, on the contrary, with gratitude and respect for his most valuable presence in UA-cam, with an extraordinary communicative power and sound insights in Catholic texts and tradition.
Very true. Still, let me then say that Kierkegaard was a Danish 🙂 probably the greatest Dane in terms of contribution to culture. Even though he's not always easy to understand.
According to the Gospel by John (Chapter 8, vv 31-32): "31 Then Jesus said to those Jews, who believed him: If you continue in my word, you shall be my disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." What did He mean? I think that instead of only stressing the rebuttal of obvious absurdities espoused by non-believers, the Gospel of Jesus should be used as the key to opening non-believers to the Truth that will make us Free. Jesus in another teaching says thar "by our fruits we shall be known". Jesus brings us paradoxes so that we learn to think, with the fantastic mind God gave us. We should learn to think by doing, by serving others with tangible fruits. I hope this opinion is taken as a complement, not in oppostion to the ideas expressed by Bishop Barron.
That was good. However, it raises questions like we are sinful and how God can bear being too close to us because we are impure. Wasn't purity important in the OT and maybe not so much in the NT.
I think the Bishop should study Alice von Hildebrand on the errors and behaviour of Thomas Merton. Also, it is on public record that Our Lady told the children in Fatima (after showing them Hell) that most souls go to hell because of [unrepented] sins of impurity. Our whole culture has now swung towards license to commit those sins without censure.
9:42 This is true for big-name Catholics, but not for the pew-sitter, and certainly not for the typical N.O. priest. In the 25 years since my conversion, I've met a tiny handful of Catholics who had the slightest idea of the riches of the Faith. The Chestertons tbe Bellocs, the Sheens, the Sheeds, the Von Hildebrands, are virtually unknown amoung the rank and file.
I think the idea of completely agreeing with the athiest is a interesting approach. It confronts the logic of the mind which has turned God off. "Your absolututely right, God does not exist" creates a base point where the logic of possibility is completely eliminated and the shear force of the illogical impossible stands on its own and on its own accord falls apart as silleyness. Its impossible that my medula oblongata kicked in this morning and I woke up by the roll of the dice....etc. etc etc. For the athiest, it really isnt about the arguement it about their enjoyment of certain luxuries of disobedience in being an athiest that provide the platform of nonsense. They love but they do not no how they love or why. They are somewhere but do not know where. What they seek is everywhere and beyond.. And God seeks and pines for them to know Him in that he came to the world and poured out every drop of His blood out of love for them. Arguing is a waste of time if you dont know it already. Praying for them to see someday is the only effort worth its weight in my view.
The atheist view of God as described by Bishop Barron echoes Satan’s lie to Eve: “When you eat of this fruit, you will become like gods, knowing good and evil”.
The Bishop speaks clearly and is well spoken. Why do you have to 'translate' what he just said? He didn't say anything that I couldn't understand, and I can replay it to if I need to relearn something.
The theologians and philosophers notwithstanding, the answer to the atheists' bilge is as The Lord Jesus Christ put it : "It is written..." Who is God? As it is written: "God is a spirit, and seeks those who will worship Him in spirit and in truth" ( John 4:24) No, not a god-man, but a spirit. He is both holy AND spirit. So another name, or description of Him, is "The Holy Spirit". They can start with that.
It is at least 9 years old. He became auxiliary bishop of Los Angeles in 2015. This was around that time. He has give. A variation of this speech several times. People who have come to Bishop Barton’s content recently may not be familiar with it, though.
Simply stated, the assumption that God is just another being like the Greek or Norse gods: a higher and more powerful level of individual; when the actual Judeo-Christian concept of God is "Yahweh" ("I am who am"): the *source* of existence, not a *part* of existence.
Good Bishop Barrron - with tthe gifts you have been given, perhaps you might dare you speak on the heresies promoted by this pontificate? That might well help topple intractable obstacles to effective evangelization for the Church. You may have to begin with the heresies promoted by Vat. II.
If the Catholic Church has a doctrine of ‘papal infallibility,’ how can anything a Pope does be wrong? Or are those who oppose an ‘infallible’ pope guilty of their own heresy in so doing?
You misunderstood him. John Paul II wrote an encyclical called Redemptor Hominis, The Redeemer of Man. In it he states that Christ came to reveal man to himself. He came to teach us what it means to be fully human, to be who we were originally created to me when Adam was created. (Obviously He came to teach many other things but mankind was the focus of this encyclical.) That’s what it means that God humanized us. In addition to that He redeemed from sin, He divinized us. Not weird at all.
@JMJ.516 This is heresy. Like when Satan said, I will be like the most high. Or when the serpent said to Eve in the garden. You will be like God knowing good and evil. We are men and women. Not divine in any way. We must be satisfied with that. To say that we have been "divinized" is heresy.
@@martinmurry3 So you tell me that The Holly Spirit is at fault for priest turning their back to God? for closing churches because of lack of parishioners and priests? for the clown shows that we can see in the Catholic NO? Go and search statistics - catholic statistics - and see how many people believe in Transubstantiation, what percent come for Sunday Mass and compare these data to 1930 and before and tell me again how great Vatican 2 was. How do you explain anti-popes and heretics then? I would really want to listen. Maybe you can tell me what role free will plays in this? Maybe is time to read Mathew 12:31 again : “Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.”
@@martinmurry3 Do you tell me that Holy Spirit made the schism of 1054? allowed antipopes? allowed Luther, Henry VIII and all the other heretics? He allowed so many lies to be spewed? Or was only free will and the pride of a few? How can you tell that Vatican 2 was the conclusion of Vatican 1? They have nothing in common. From reverence of Vatican 1 to the clown show and happy clapy of Vatican 2 there is nothing further apart. Priests turning their back to God and turning to new gods lay persons, Tabernacle thrown in a corner or even worse out of the Church, new songs that are so ugly compared to the chants. The Mass is no more the Holy Sacrifice is just a meal that we share. Vatican 2 is just another protestant denomination and has NOTHING in common with Catholic church. Try reading Matthew 12:31 and repent.
@@peterroberts4509 It's a vastly distorted way - at least for better paganisms like Zoroastrianism - and an outright demonic inversion if we speak about Aztec or Hindu religions.
This is a classic demonstration of Bishop Barron's apologetic strategy: attack the definitions used by counter apologists.This presentation of God as the non-competitive essence of all being is essentially the creation of a gap into which the rapidly shrinking deity can hide.It is a bit like stating that my black cat could not be black if there were not a pre-existing universal underlying spirit of blackness. Here god is being reduced to an arbitrary linguistic category. As for being non competitive, the God of the Old Testament is very insistent on being the sole object of worship, as well as claiming the best of offerings from his captive people. Furthermore, it is apparent that this god has desires and preferences and makes plans; clearly a server of his own interests. As for creation ex nihilo: if God always existed there can never have been a state of absolute universal vacuity. In this state there must be two arenas: god and that which is not god. If god is "outside time and space" he still has a location, just like a person standing outside an empty room. However, Bishop Barron's contention appears to be that such emptiness cannot exist unless there is some supervisory entity to maintain it.
Mathematical truth exists. Moral truth exists. Both are infinitely beautiful. That's where God lives, he lives in the Truth. 1+1=2 is where God is, 1+1=3 is where he is not 🙏😇
Perhaps listen to Bishop Barron debating O'Connor who does a fine job thanks to his Oxford studies in philosophy and you will discover that Bishop Barron has an excellent and radical grasp of reality insofar as it is intelligible. And his presentation incorporates this scholarship and tested truth. God is frankly intuitively obvious to most of mankind and sweeping away the frankly childish clutter of the illiterate new atheist crowd is addressing cultural ignorance. Catholic thought is the most sophisticated on earth. As it should be.
@@tommore3263 "Tested truth?" Acceptance of Catholic doctrine requires faith: belief in that which cannot be tested. How can one "test' the "truths" of Marian dogma or the "gifts" of the Holy Spirit? And in your "illiterate new atheist crowd" do you include such celebrities as Christopher Hitchens, Daniel Dennett, Dan Barker, Sean Carroll, Laurence Krauss and Graham Oppy? While these people may hold opinions with which many disagree, none of them can justly be called illiterate, ignorant or stupid. While "Catholic thought" is certainly abundant and prolix, for extensiveness and profundity it is more than matched by both Hindu and Buddhist philosophy. In fact a failure to honestly investigate the claims of alternate spiritual traditions could be seen as wilful cultural ignorance.
I'm sorry, but this is just silly. The notion that Bishop Barron's use of a definition of God offered by Aquinas nearly 800 years ago as though it's a creation to evade arguments of the new atheists offered in just the last few years is false on it's face. You completely misunderstand what he means about God being noncompetitive, seeing it as meaning that God makes no demands, rather than meaning God is not just another thing in the universe that he created, something on the same ontological level as a flying spaghetti monster would be. you also fail to grasp the notion of creation ex nihilo. Of course it is true that it means that there was never a "state of absolute vacuity" because it means the creation of time and space itself. And arguing that if God is outside of time and space he still has a location requires that we use "outside" in spatial terms, which is precisely what it does not mean. To say that God is outside of time and space means that these realities are his creation, not binding or limiting him in any fashion. You haven't refuted Bishop Barron, you've merely failed to understand him.
If Barron didn't speak in such condescending, smarmy, esoteric terms he might be "listenable". Maybe Barron should imitate his favorite theologian Thomas Aquinas and just shut up. Hey Bob, it's all straw. And you have a mouthful of it.
Exactly right , he is wise and has a niche for this, and helped convert many ...he is not a wasteful man . God Bless this Unique Bishop 🙏🏻✝️💓 Many blessings to all!
Now someone please tell me how this man can stand with such a pleasant voice and charisma after the collapse of the liturgy of the True Mass? HE IS A FRONT MAN. HE IS AN ACTOR. HE SURE AIN'T CATHOLIC.
One must be careful when depicting what is "the true Mass" . What is comfortable and palitable in formality is not necessarily the designs of God. Being respectful of the past and of the sacrament is important but reverence and reaching the masses is the key to the invitation to the banquet of love. Pope John Paul said Mass on the back of a canoe while camping with friends. It was undoubtedly a true mass. A priest in WW2 says mass in a tent or out in the sun near the battle field. No doubt a true mass. I get a bit tired of people who deem themselves as advanced Catholics ...who dont know a word of the Cannon pretending to be experts on what is a proper Mass. The Mass comes to us as a meal of Gods Love. It fortifies our spirit for a much needed respite in the spiritual battle of life. Do I prefer a more formal celebration? No doubt. But the Mass is brought to us, where ever we are, so we might shine with the fire of Jesus in our hearts. The same people that quivel about the "true Mass" are the same idiots that ramble on about whether you should or shoul not wear a rosary around your neck. A. Its an Act of faith to wear any blessed cross or religious sacramental. B. Its a practical, mechanical location. "I am the Bread of Life, he that comes to me in this sacrament shall not hunger" Just go to Mass as much as you are able and be quiet about your lofty assessments. Run if you feel the need because if one truly understood what the Holy Bread was he or she would die immediately of Holy Joy. Just go and be quiet an stop with the division and quiveling.

Good Bishop Barrron - with tthe gifts you have been given, perhaps you might dare you speak on the heresies promoted by this pontificate? That might well help topple intractable obstacles to effective evangelization for the Church. You may have to begin with the heresies promoted by Vat. II.
If the Catholic Church has a doctrine of ‘papal infallibility,’ how can anything a Pope does be wrong? Or are those who oppose an ‘infallible’ pope guilty of their own heresy in so doing?
God doesn't "divinize" us. He humanizes us. He quoted Iraneus and then contradicts him. Really weird.
You misunderstood him. John Paul II wrote an encyclical called Redemptor Hominis, The Redeemer of Man. In it he states that Christ came to reveal man to himself. He came to teach us what it means to be fully human, to be who we were originally created to me when Adam was created. (Obviously He came to teach many other things but mankind was the focus of this encyclical.) That’s what it means that God humanized us. In addition to that He redeemed from sin, He divinized us. Not weird at all.
@JMJ.516 This is heresy. Like when Satan said, I will be like the most high. Or when the serpent said to Eve in the garden. You will be like God knowing good and evil. We are men and women. Not divine in any way. We must be satisfied with that. To say that we have been "divinized" is heresy.
There's more to that Marx quote
Are you a prot? Cat? What is this channel?
If the new generation is so wrong as you say we have to "thank" Vatican 2. This is the main problem, but you'll never say the truth mr barron
Vatican II isn't a problem. It's the perfect conclusion to Vatican I.
The Holy Spirit is in charge of the Church. Always has been and always will be.
@@martinmurry3 So you tell me that The Holly Spirit is at fault for priest turning their back to God? for closing churches because of lack of parishioners and priests? for the clown shows that we can see in the Catholic NO? Go and search statistics - catholic statistics - and see how many people believe in Transubstantiation, what percent come for Sunday Mass and compare these data to 1930 and before and tell me again how great Vatican 2 was.
How do you explain anti-popes and heretics then? I would really want to listen. Maybe you can tell me what role free will plays in this?
Maybe is time to read Mathew 12:31 again : “Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.”
@@martinmurry3 Do you tell me that Holy Spirit made the schism of 1054? allowed antipopes? allowed Luther, Henry VIII and all the other heretics? He allowed so many lies to be spewed? Or was only free will and the pride of a few?
How can you tell that Vatican 2 was the conclusion of Vatican 1? They have nothing in common. From reverence of Vatican 1 to the clown show and happy clapy of Vatican 2 there is nothing further apart. Priests turning their back to God and turning to new gods lay persons, Tabernacle thrown in a corner or even worse out of the Church, new songs that are so ugly compared to the chants. The Mass is no more the Holy Sacrifice is just a meal that we share. Vatican 2 is just another protestant denomination and has NOTHING in common with Catholic church.
Try reading Matthew 12:31 and repent.
Bishop Barron is the BEST
What a perfect freemason. Barron. And the rest.
Heresy is just another way of thinking about God. It should be encouraged.
Heresy is all that is not of God.
Heresy is not another but wrong way of thinking about God. We must encourage people to seek the truth and not to wander.
No, it isn't. Heresy is paganism.
@avenger4027 paganism is just another way of thinking about God
@@peterroberts4509 It's a vastly distorted way - at least for better paganisms like Zoroastrianism - and an outright demonic inversion if we speak about Aztec or Hindu religions.
In your weird obsession with Bishop Barron, you forgot to mention his own heresy, when he said "Jesus is the alternative way"
I stopped believing in this crap once I reached the age of reason ,about 9 years old !
But you’re still drawn to hearing about it
This is a classic demonstration of Bishop Barron's apologetic strategy: attack the definitions used by counter apologists.This presentation of God as the non-competitive essence of all being is essentially the creation of a gap into which the rapidly shrinking deity can hide.It is a bit like stating that my black cat could not be black if there were not a pre-existing universal underlying spirit of blackness. Here god is being reduced to an arbitrary linguistic category. As for being non competitive, the God of the Old Testament is very insistent on being the sole object of worship, as well as claiming the best of offerings from his captive people. Furthermore, it is apparent that this god has desires and preferences and makes plans; clearly a server of his own interests. As for creation ex nihilo: if God always existed there can never have been a state of absolute universal vacuity. In this state there must be two arenas: god and that which is not god. If god is "outside time and space" he still has a location, just like a person standing outside an empty room. However, Bishop Barron's contention appears to be that such emptiness cannot exist unless there is some supervisory entity to maintain it.
Mathematical truth exists. Moral truth exists. Both are infinitely beautiful. That's where God lives, he lives in the Truth. 1+1=2 is where God is, 1+1=3 is where he is not 🙏😇
I define your comment as "just babbling."
Perhaps listen to Bishop Barron debating O'Connor who does a fine job thanks to his Oxford studies in philosophy and you will discover that Bishop Barron has an excellent and radical grasp of reality insofar as it is intelligible. And his presentation incorporates this scholarship and tested truth. God is frankly intuitively obvious to most of mankind and sweeping away the frankly childish clutter of the illiterate new atheist crowd is addressing cultural ignorance. Catholic thought is the most sophisticated on earth. As it should be.
@@tommore3263 "Tested truth?" Acceptance of Catholic doctrine requires faith: belief in that which cannot be tested. How can one "test' the "truths" of Marian dogma or the "gifts" of the Holy Spirit? And in your "illiterate new atheist crowd" do you include such celebrities as Christopher Hitchens, Daniel Dennett, Dan Barker, Sean Carroll, Laurence Krauss and Graham Oppy? While these people may hold opinions with which many disagree, none of them can justly be called illiterate, ignorant or stupid. While "Catholic thought" is certainly abundant and prolix, for extensiveness and profundity it is more than matched by both Hindu and Buddhist philosophy. In fact a failure to honestly investigate the claims of alternate spiritual traditions could be seen as wilful cultural ignorance.
I'm sorry, but this is just silly. The notion that Bishop Barron's use of a definition of God offered by Aquinas nearly 800 years ago as though it's a creation to evade arguments of the new atheists offered in just the last few years is false on it's face. You completely misunderstand what he means about God being noncompetitive, seeing it as meaning that God makes no demands, rather than meaning God is not just another thing in the universe that he created, something on the same ontological level as a flying spaghetti monster would be. you also fail to grasp the notion of creation ex nihilo. Of course it is true that it means that there was never a "state of absolute vacuity" because it means the creation of time and space itself. And arguing that if God is outside of time and space he still has a location requires that we use "outside" in spatial terms, which is precisely what it does not mean. To say that God is outside of time and space means that these realities are his creation, not binding or limiting him in any fashion. You haven't refuted Bishop Barron, you've merely failed to understand him.
If Barron didn't speak in such condescending, smarmy, esoteric terms he might be "listenable". Maybe Barron should imitate his favorite theologian Thomas Aquinas and just shut up. Hey Bob, it's all straw. And you have a mouthful of it.
Chuck, open your heart and mind….. it’s a grace thing. God bless you, brother , but you got this one wrong, just so wrong.
Exactly right , he is wise and has a niche for this, and helped convert many ...he is not a wasteful man . God Bless this Unique Bishop 🙏🏻✝️💓
Many blessings to all!
Now someone please tell me how this man can stand with such a pleasant voice and charisma after the collapse of the liturgy of the True Mass?
HE IS A FRONT MAN. HE IS AN ACTOR. HE SURE AIN'T CATHOLIC.
One must be careful when depicting what is "the true Mass" . What is comfortable and palitable in formality is not necessarily the designs of God. Being respectful of the past and of the sacrament is important but reverence and reaching the masses is the key to the invitation to the banquet of love. Pope John Paul said Mass on the back of a canoe while camping with friends. It was undoubtedly a true mass. A priest in WW2 says mass in a tent or out in the sun near the battle field. No doubt a true mass. I get a bit tired of people who deem themselves as advanced Catholics ...who dont know a word of the Cannon pretending to be experts on what is a proper Mass. The Mass comes to us as a meal of Gods Love. It fortifies our spirit for a much needed respite in the spiritual battle of life. Do I prefer a more formal celebration? No doubt. But the Mass is brought to us, where ever we are, so we might shine with the fire of Jesus in our hearts. The same people that quivel about the "true Mass" are the same idiots that ramble on about whether you should or shoul not wear a rosary around your neck. A. Its an Act of faith to wear any blessed cross or religious sacramental. B. Its a practical, mechanical location.
"I am the Bread of Life, he that comes to me in this sacrament shall not hunger"
Just go to Mass as much as you are able and be quiet about your lofty assessments. Run if you feel the need because if one truly understood what the Holy Bread was he or she would die immediately of Holy Joy.
Just go and be quiet an stop with the division and quiveling.
