Word on Fire

The challenge of John Chau

December 5, 2018
By Bishop Robert Barron
Filed Under: Commentary, Word on Fire

Say what you want about his prudence. I will speak of him with honor.

Tintoretto and the Reform of the Church

September 18, 2018
By Bishop Robert Barron
Filed Under: Commentary, Word on Fire

Tintoretto sheds considerable light on this issue of Apostolic weakness and strength in the very manner in which he has arranged the figures in his composition

Why accompaniment involves apologetics

August 2, 2018
By Bishop Robert Barron
Filed Under: Commentary, Word on Fire

In the evangelical context, therefore, true accompaniment goes beyond fellowship. It has to do with offering the bread of life.

The Question Behind the Question

June 20, 2018
By Bishop Robert Barron

Michelle Wolf and the throwaway culture

May 4, 2018

January 24, 2018
By Bishop Robert Barron
Filed Under: Blog, Word on Fire

What I found most uplifting about the session was that a Protestant and a Catholic—both committed to their respective traditions—could come together in fellowship, good cheer, and mutual support

January 16, 2018
By Bishop Robert Barron
Filed Under: Blog, Word on Fire

It is precisely religious faith that will awaken courage and compassion, and it is precisely the lack of faith that conduces, by a short road, to spiritual and psychological exhaustion—both in the individual and in a culture.

‘Lady Bird’ and the breakthrough of grace

December 18, 2017
By Bishop Robert Barron
Filed Under: Commentary, Word on Fire

Running underneath this complex story of love and conflict is religion, more precisely, Catholicism.

Paul VI, Prophet

November 30, 2017
By Bishop Robert Barron
Filed Under: Commentary, Word on Fire

In Humanae Vitae, Paul VI plays the prophet and lays out, clearly and succinctly, what he foresees as consequences of turning away from the Church’s classic teaching on sex.

November 22, 2017
By Bishop Robert Barron
