A Return to Cosmic Christianity | with Bishop Barron 

In a way(as a gen z) I hate it. Once or twice a year I go through very dark, depression. I think this due to society and modern philosophers and scientists. It's hard, going through one of those spells currently actually. But if I can see a fully rejuvenation of Christianity, that would be so awesome(worthy of awe)

Here I am in my mid 70s, always an active Catholic, and I always absolutely amazed at the influx of young college age students and young families in my parish. I believe they are attracted to the young priests we have. These priests are so intelligent and orthodox as are the young people they attract.

Never forget how deep are the riches in the words of the Gospel, in the Fathers, in the saints, and in so many contemporary thinkers. The Spirit has always moved in the Church and - I would argue - in the arts and philosophy. Investigate deeply the works of the human spirit throughout time. Drink at the wells of the Spirit in every form. Cause for encouragement, cause for hope, is superabundant. Praise the fathomless grace of the Lord! 🙏

Lets keep it going

Likewise!

BB makes a good point here. I agree that Christianity is about the ethics, it is to put truth and love above all else. Everything else is not needed. I’d like to add that The Lord Jesus Christ should be referred to as such.

Barron is anything but Orthodox!

@@buzzledoux7572 Who said he was?

@@RickSanchez-vi1jr Is this a troll lol

@Link 101 Dear People: Listen to Fr. Mark Goring. He is 1000 times better then Fr. Barron

Just read my comments, Paul. I’m cliff noting and explaining the important stuff. ;)

Paul!! I have been watching your comments on these brilliant men from your channel! Thank you for bringing these ideas from the protestant perspective.

I was atheist for about 20 years until JBP broke my mind open. That lead to JP & BB .

Be Christian, not Catholic. The Jesuits and the Vatican are the rulers of evil.

@Tomás it makes perfect sense. On could be Christian (i.e., Protestant, Orthodox, etc) and not Catholic. Bless your heart.

Yeah, I discovered Sam Harris and the New Atheists back in like 2011 and I still follow and respect Sam Harris, but in the last few years, it's really dawned on me more and more just what a dead-end the New Atheist project is.

@@Pheer777 Same, I went through my hardcore atheist phase in my teens and early twenties. I think the thing struck me the most, looking back, was just how miserable my atheism made me. It was rooted in antagonism, in skepticism and negativity. I spent so much time belittling belief that it never occurred to me that my belief was in belittling. I don’t really know where I stand today. But I know what I stand against.

Same story here, Cord. Really looking forward to God's Dog!

"The church" you refer to will never wake up because it is dead. It is a figment of Modernists' imagination, super-imposed on a spiritually-asleep flock of sheep who do not know the Master's voice. The Catholic Church consists of those who know the Master's voice, believes what the Master teaches, and does what the Master does. They are awake, alive, and very much despised by the world, just as the Master was and is despised.

@@elinelcrat8272 As a Catholic I would say this is also true of all the apostolic churches. Syro-Malabar, Orthodox, etc. Those with valid sacraments.

Welcom home brother, God bless you...

@@lauragiles5193 I agree, they are really similar to Catholicism.

A sense of reverence and the sacred is not found in the nondenominational churches of today. I love the Old Cathedrals where you feel you are in the Kingdom of God, surrounded by the Angels and the Church fathers.. Folding chairs and cloth banners don't do it for me.

I'm an Inquirer into Greek Orthodoxy, been protestant my entire life. I became disenchanted with American evangelicalism and wanted a deeper, more meaningful understanding of Christianity. Its been 2 months and I'm going to my first Divine Liturgy on Sunday!

@@fahn777 I love the Vespers. Beautiful sacred music. They preach Christ and I never heard anything heretical. I inquired but got stuck on Baptism in a conversation with a Bishop. Still, I might have gone there regularly but my wife could not tolerate people kissing the Priests robes as he walked by. But it was such a pleasant and reverent experience.

Orthodox = Virgin Worship (Zion) Modern = Whore Worship (Babylon) The liturgy is nice. - SHRININGSUN, Global Ambassador of Zion

Baal's influence comes in many ways. Especially to those who think they are the "gate keepers" of the faith and the holier-than-thou attitude...check under your bed before you judge others.

Bishop Barron was harsh but true here.

@@passiveaction People are same as they have always been. Only the technology has changed. We don'r need to go overdramatic during these times today. Be bold, free and don't worry! All we have to do is fall down on our knees before Christ and all this around us suddenly changes from "massive problem that will wipe us all out" to "just another crisis".

@@clattereffect True, i had never seen myself as a baal worshiper when reading those passages in the bible before this talk. Normally we see ourselves as the heroic israelis rather than the ones that fall into idolatry. It's a mistake...

If he was that smart he wouldn't be catholic

Happy to hear it, cuz! This is YOUR inheritance too. You don’t have to give up your beautiful personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It will only deepen as you move further in. May God’s will be done in your life.

@@josephjones4331 Roman Catholicism went astray , Eastern Orthodoxy kept the faith and the gates of hell didn't prevail against it. You clearly are some non denominational ignorant. Your sola Scriptura and sola fide is a progressive liberal Invention. You know nothing about Church history, only protestant propaganda. I don't disagree about Rome, they went astray but Christ did found One True and Apostolic Church. You don't even understand things like apostolic succession cause you trapped in your American protestant bubble. Before you make such big claims learn History and ask yourself how can your modern view on Christianity be right? When did the Christian get it right? After 15 centuries? After 18 centuries? When you have all this mushrooms appearing in America , all this protestant heretical sects. Give me a break , you are a bible worshiper, you don't worship The Living Word of God but the books about Him. Stop making yourself look as a fool and learn Church history and read The Early Fathers.

@@agrikantus9422 How long did the Israelites continue under the rule of first the Babylonians and then the Pharisees? And how long did the people of the northern kingdom continue in their divorce from God? So what does a few centuries have to do with proving a thing? It happened before that in Egypt as well. And the people came out of those bondages and back to the true path. Away from corrupt teachings of "priests who are justified in themselves". Can you really say that the church fathers' teachings to worshippers to pray to Mary and saints and angels are any different than the corruptions of the true faith that happened during the sojourn in Egypt or under the rule of the corrupt Pharisees? Again, those periods lasted for hundreds of years at a stretch. How like an myopic man to point to a few centuries as a justification of authority when God is eternal and has no need for counting time. 15 centuries isn't even as two days to God. The living word of God comes from those who do their best to keep to the PURE water. Perhaps you should read Ezekiel and his lamentations toward Pharoh. Pharoh was as great whale, but he put his feet into the waters and muddied them. For this Pharoh was cursed. That great whale had his body caught up in a net and his flesh spread over the mountains and the valleys were filled with it. Pharoh was cursed that the fish in the river would stick to his scales. So, tell me. Do you understand the meaning of these words? Can you explain what Ezekiel meant when he wrote these things? The explanation is quite plain to tell if you know it. So? What does the living word tell you? Let this be a test of your claim. Let your testimony speak. Maybe then we can talk about the northern kingdom and Jeremiah's comments on divorce. And the Mosiac Laws in that regard and the fulfillment of that specific tenant of the law that Jesus fulfilled. Do you care to have a discussion? Maybe we can learn from one another.

@@josephjones5070 Bible does not say that you need Sola Scriptura, fro 200 years after Jesus ascended to heaven, scriptures ware not yeat combined together. How did they worship God and kept the faith? Only few letters sent to Churches, do you think it was enough? But Saint Paul went to them and taught them. If I can't trust apostolic succession witch are disciples of the twelve apostles then how can I believe Christianity is true at all? If there was no coherency from then begging how do you know that they doctrines you hold on to are true? I can I understand the ancient people more them those who ware closer to that time? If I have a blueprint to make a BMW and try to make it myself I might get it wrong , but if go to the source they will teach me properly. How can you trust the bible, how do we know is true? if we doubt The Church and their writings and the Canon The Church established established ,then there was no real revelation and everything is relative , there is no absolute truth and your specific denomination is just personal preference and opinion.

@@agrikantus9422 Also, your appeal to history is just another misdirection away from the Word of God. Are you suggesting with your blasphemous "sola scriptura" denial that the Word of God is insufficient? Are you suggesting that Jesus came and removed the need for the preisthood so that we could once again be subject under preists? There is a good reason that God made such a huge sacrifice and in the process removed the need for such. And yet, even after Jesus gave up the ghost and the Holy of Holies was opened up forever, the Pharisees still pretended to power for nearly a century afterward. They hid the fact that the veil had been rent in two so that they could hold on to their power. So what is different today with the church? The preists have their holy altar that is kept away from the people on a pedestal. They are the ones needed to bless and confess. It is a return to the way that had always lead to the corruption of the true water by men who came to value their position over Truth. To go back to such is to lose sight of the sacrifice that was made to free us from that corrupting system. So, who are these men that claim to be mediators between man and God? Taking the place of the one and only Son of the Almighty? Telling their lost sheep to pray to men and blaspheming God in the process. Worshipping the creation instead of the Creator. Tell me, when Jesus was asked how we should pray, what example did He give? Did He say to pray to Abraham or Moses? Do those in Orthodoxy pray to Abraham or Moses? And why not? Surely they were much greater than any of the saints of the church... You see, when one strays from the Word, there is no end to the division of the river into the labrynith meander of the muddied alluvial plain... The splitting of the waters into separate rivers. Again, from Ezekiel. The Word of God is sufficient and we need no man to give it. All knowledge, guidance, and wisdom comes from God. And we do not need an mortal interpreter to understand His will. I do agree with you that the spoken word is incredibly important in the transmission of the Living Word. But when it strays from the teachings in the Bible through extravagant interpretation and outright contradiction, then it is no longer The Word. The church fathers should take a note from John the Baptist. He understood that his way was nothing compared to what was coming. And the church fathers should have the same stance. This denegration of sola scriptura is an unholy departure from the understanding that John the Baptist had.

Attend a Latin Mass thru the FSSP

Don't waste your time with The Latin Mass, It is beautiful but still not same as The Earliest Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom. The Roman Catholics went astray, I feel sorry for Traditional Roman Catholics even if they are wonderful people they still believe novelties and heresies. The Papacy is not right. Come to the True Faith, True Worship The Orthodox Christian Church.

​@@agrikantus9422 Christ is risen indeed. May the blessed holy Theotokos save us!

@@agrikantus9422if you read the first 6 ecumenical councils you will see that the eastern church did indeed accept the papacy and the primacy of the bishop of Rome.

Great comment. We need to rediscover and incorporate beauty art and Christian symbolism into our places of worship. It’s such a transformative experience any time I walk into a beautiful cathedral. I pray that one day I will be able to help build something like this in the US to help bring people closer to God.

Agreed

just dont be pumped or experience muscle pasms

You just did. This need to beat people over the head with their emotionality in a veiled attempt to convince the self, others, and God of how in tune to truth they are just makes people sound weak. Stop saying things that make you weak. Now, if only Peterson would heed his own advice because since he's come back from illness almost all I hear from him is saying things that make him weak.

That’s sad

Amen

What's up Tom. Would you mind checking out a video I just made? I think Jonathan Pageau indirectly did a symbolic explanation of this popular video game "Little Nightmares 2" here's a link to the video: youtu.be/7kBL65

unity please

The Church is the full Body of Christ, not a pair of lungs

@@timadamson4713 I'm just paraphrasing Saint John Paul II to make a charitable comment about this wholesome reunion. But hey, if you wanna turn this into a pointless doctrinal discussion, by all means, do it. I will just absent myself from now on.

@@thomazprimoalves7025 you think discussing the Truth of the Churches' doctrine is pointless while holding to Vatican 2 epithets? Wow, this talk of "reunion" truely is a delusion of the enemy and will only reflect a false unity. All the while Orthodox are "too extreme" as they attempt to hold to the Truth of Christ, as if he's incarnation wasnt extreme and a human fraternity under the Pope is what he taught...... Incredible. Thanks for being consistent and bowing out as there is no dialogue under this pretense

@Tomás it sound like you think the Church has lost its unity or its way. Christ's Church has not fallen and it's fullness is in the Orthodox Church, which even the Vatican admits. True Reunion in the Church is for all Christians to return to her, not pretending that schisms didn't happen or that Truth is not important

I second this proposal ☝️😃

I suspect monthly would be more likely, but even then that would be fantastic.

I know what you mean, those names are more hardcore and do not shy away

Utterly based list

Lol going from satanism to Catholicism. Not that much of a difference tbh

You were on the right path, but then Ripperger and Viganò? You've taken a wrong turning mate, it will lead you over the cliff. It's the path of the anti-Church that pretends to be the true Church.

Yes. Ripperger and Vigano are defending the TRUTH of the Holy, Catholic and apostolic church. Do not leave their wisdom and guidance. Watch all you can on Venerable Archbishop Sheen. God bless you.

Pathetic that you are polluting young minds with the excrement spewed out by an apostate like Barron! Your soul is at stake teach! The Traditional Church before Vatican II is the true Catholic Church. You seriously teach that all souls go to heaven and that Jesus is the “preferred” way and not the only way to heaven? Words of Barron the fake priest!

Keep feeding the young minds of your students, God bless your work in Christ Jesus, son of God🙏🏻

We pray for that too! May the Roman church return to being the most Orthodox of all the churches.

Sadly as the Roman Church adopts modern watered down liturgy and protestant like practises it is diverging still.

I wouldn't give up on our Protestant brothers. They love Jesus and they have the Bible. l'm afraid things will continue to get worse before they get better. As someone, I forget who, said after the American Revolution: "We must all hang together; otherwise, we will all hang seperately".

Are you Romanian?

@@catalintican5530 No, but I have a lot of love for the Romanian people :) I have some Greek ethnicity and the school I attended was a Greek Orthodox college in Boston.

Exact same here, this virus Insanity from the beginning was the real big trigger for me. Both Jordan and father Mike Schmitz we're the ones that reeled me back to my faith. If you haven't heard of father Mike, is highly recommend going to their channel ascension presents. Listen to his homilies from mass on Sundays. They're great.

Amen, Love from Quebec.

Is Peterson a Catholic? He sounds like an Oreginist to me. If even that.

Origen is the greatest genius the Church has ever produced, East or West. All the Fathers of the East worth noting were ‘Origenists’, at least until Jerome’s character assassination of him set the ball rolling towards ‘Origenist’ being a slur. He is THE teacher of the Fathers. The justification for including the Pauline and non-Pauline epistles in the canon is thanks to Origen providing the rationale for why they should be considered as Scripture. His influence and contributions don’t stop at that. The collective wisdom of the Fathers has the foundation built by Origen undergirding it. Augustine is seen as prolific because his writings have been well preserved. Origen left everyone else in the dust when it came to output. Jerome catalogued only 900 of the books authored by Origen but the true count is estimated to be 4-6000. All the Apostolic churches are Origenist to some extent or the other. Else, we would be like fundamentalist literalists who believe that the Earth is

No, my experience is just the opposite. I felt, and have worked with other people, who have had transformative and 'spiritualizing' responses to psychedelics. For me, it opened my heart and mind to the mystical and Jungian--to the world of meaning.

@@robertobrien5122 The Mystical and Jungian you're Referring to i think is of the Demonic, not the true Mystical Experience found in Eastern Orthodoxy, it's Liturgy, Icons, etc. And Jung is far from an Orthodox saint. Quite the opposite actually.

That was orthodoxy with a small o (i.e. truth).

With all due respect, I disagree with Barron's view. I think it is a bad emphasis. Someday the overly dogmatic institutional church will figure out that being right was not so terribly important as they had always thought it to be. Rather, modeling God's presence in our lives is more important than espousing specific beliefs or assenting to certain formulations, creeds, or doctrines. Jesus did not come so we could "believe the right things in our heads" but live life abundantly in love.

I echo this sentiment 100% - I’ve wanted this for a long time.

That thought has never ever even crossed my mind lol

You are seeing it, Rolando. These are the same as the Pharisees that mixed the Babylonian religion with the true faith and corrupted themselves to the point where they couldn't see the Truth that was speaking directly to them. The Pharisees added to the Word and made their own judgements as to what it meant. And then those judgments were modified, and then again, and then again. This is known as Talmudism. And the following of the interpretations and re-interpretations, and so on, and so on, of the "church fathers" is the exact same thing. It is Talmudism under a different name. This is the abomination of desolation that sat in the high place in Second Temple during the time of Jesus' sojourn in the flesh. The Pharisees were teaching Talmudism, or the "traditions of the elders" in the Temple and holding these teachings in equal esteem with the Torah and the writings of the Prophets. This is the spiritual adultery that Jeremiah called out in Judea during his time. And if one actually reads THE WORD and not the interpretations of it by men who called themselves priests, then one finds the theme of adultery is written all over the Old Testament. Recognizing this theme and what it points to is a key to unlocking a deep understanding of God and of His revelations through the Prophets. It points to the key role that Jesus played in fulfilling the Law of Moses in regard to bringing the divorced northern kingdom of Israel back into a marriage covenant with God. The Law of Moses is the Law of God, given to the Hebrews because of the hardness of their hearts. It had to be codified. Written down. But that line about it being necessary because of the obstinance of the Israelites is not to say that the Law wasn't the eternal Law of God, past, present, and future, forever and ever. Jesus came to fulfill the Law so that Israel could be re-united with her sister Judah in one body and so that this bride could be redeemed under a new marriage covenant with the Almighty. Divorce. Death of the Husband. The Widow. The law of Death and Three Days. Lazarus and Jesus. These are all keys to understanding the Law of God and how Jesus fulfilled the Law so that all of the Children of Israel, all of the Lost Sheep of the Tribe of Israel could be redeemed and reunited. Neither the Law nor the Prophets were destroyed by Jesus' sacrifice. Rather, they were fulfilled and justified. Look to the prophets. Look to the stories that center around adultery. Notice that there is a repeated story of two sisters, although they are not always called by the same names. Look to the Law and understand God's ruling on divorce and re-marriage. It is all there. The beginning of much deeper understanding of both Jesus and His antithesis, the Pharisee. The adulterer. You are right to question these men as they talk about everything except THE WORD. They point to so many distractions away from the THE WORD. They hold up "fathers" in the place of the scriptures. They hold up men who call themselves priests above the "laymen", even though Jesus' sacrifice removed the need for the priesthood and made Israel a nation of priests independent of the Temple (Church). Realize that when Jesus died in the flesh, the veil of the Holy of Holies was rent in two, and yet the Pharisees who were in charge of the Temple acted as if nothing had happened. They did not tell the people, because to do so would mean the end of their authority and power, which they placed above Truth. The adulterous Pharisees held their own teachings above those of God and they hid the Truth for as long as they could before God used the Romans to destroy every last remaining vestige of the Temple, which was the outward symbol of their authority. God took away all ambiguity so that NO ONE could ever again call themselves a priest and use that title to lord over Israel. And yet, even as Jesus told his Disciples, the spirit of the anti-Christ is already in the world. I have yet to delve deeply into the writings of the New Testament beyond the Gospels. But based on my limited knowledge at this point, I wonder if the Pauline doctrines and the congregations established under these teachings might have something to do with that statement by Jesus. The Church has always pointed to this line of succession as a keystone of their authority... But I don't want to make a judgement before reading the books recording the establishment of the Church. As the Bible teaches, for a man to speak on a thing before hearing it, to him it is both a folly and a shame. So, I will hold y judgement for the time being. God bless and keep you, brother. Always walk in the Spirit of Truth. And always question those whom it bides you to do so. Always question those who hold up THE WORD as the source of their authority, but then proceed to lead people away from the study of it in favor of "interpretations" that seem to contradict it.
