Martin Luther King and the Religious Motivation for Social Change

Bishop Robert BarronJuly 14, 20205 min read
It is indisputably clear that there are severe moral deficits in our society that must be addressed, but the best way to do so is from within a moral and finally religious framework.

Why “What are the Bishops Doing About it?” is the Wrong Question

Bishop Robert BarronJune 27, 20207 min read
Great Catholic lawyers, great Catholic politicians, great Catholic university professors, great Catholic physicians and nurses, great Catholic investors and financiers, great Catholic law enforcement officers, great Catholic writers and critics, great Catholic entertainers, each in his or her special area of competence, is meant to bring Christ to the society and the culture.

The quarantine’s three lessons about the Church

Bishop Robert BarronMay 1, 20206 min read
So Catholics, don’t get discouraged. Rather, use this time of deprivation and abstention to awaken a deeper love for the Church in its Eucharistic, symbiotic, and incarnational distinctiveness.

The USCCB Meeting, Jordan Peterson, and the “Nones”

Bishop Robert BarronJune 18, 20195 min read
What is particularly sad to me is that the commentariat, especially in regard to religion, has become so polarized and ideologically driven that the most elementary distinctions aren’t made and the most broad-brush analyses are commonplace.

Wake Up: The real danger posed by the California confession bill

Bishop Robert BarronMay 15, 20195 min read

Seeing abortion

Bishop Robert BarronApril 18, 20195 min read
In 1850, lots of good and thoughtful people defended the institution of slavery. Now, only insane people would. In 2019, lots of decent and thoughtful people defend the pro-choice position. One can only hope that these recent laws, and this viscerally disturbing film, will hasten the day when only insane people would.

Frank Gehry and the quest for transcendence

Bishop Robert BarronMarch 7, 20195 min read
The Church ought to sing the transcendence of God to Frank Gehry as it once sang it to Giotto, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Dante, Gaudí, and the architect of Chartres Cathedral.

New York, abortion and a short route to chaos

Bishop Robert BarronJanuary 29, 20195 min read
