Bishop Barron argues that the Reformation's legacy is 30,000 denominations and doctrinal chaos. Is Protestantism fatally fractured? Michael Horton, Bob Hiller, Walter Strickland, and Justin Holcomb address the charge of division by exploring the Protestant understanding of visible and invisible church unity, the authority of Scripture, and the nature of confessional agreement.

We bring you the second half of Bishop Barron's keynote address at this year's inaugural international Evangelisation & Culture conference in London. In the first half, Bishop Barron focused on the first two of four themes of the Bible, namely, creation and the God of Israel. Today, we conclude his address with the final two themes, right praise and kingship, and we learn how these patterns are gathered together in Christ Jesus.

I had the privilege of listening to Bishop Barron preach on how Jesus is like the Good Samaritan. My favorite part of the homily is that the Catholic Church is kind of like the inn. We are helping those wounded by sin recover from their injuries.

What is the Bible, really, and how do we read it? How can we say that the Bible is both the Word of God and the work of human authors? What should we do when we come across a tricky passage that we don't know how to interpret? Welcome to our next deep dive! In these next few episodes, we'll unpack some of the most common questions about the Bible, and lay a foundation for how to approach it as Catholics. ⁠Donate via PayPal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support us on Patreon!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact the podcast: crashcoursecatholicism@gmail.com.Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/crashcoursecatholicism/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠References and further reading/listening/viewing:Catechism of the Catholic Church, pts. 101-141Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation, Dei VerbumBenedict XVI, Verbum DominiThe Catholic Encyclopedia, "Bible"Scott Hahn, ⁠Tools for Bible StudyMark Shea, The Catholic Weekly: The Four Senses of Scripture: The Literal SenseThe Four Senses of Scripture: The Allegorical SenseThe Four Senses of Scripture: Part 3 The Moral Sense of ScriptureThe Four Senses of Scripture: Part 4 The Anagogical Sense of ScriptureCatholic Answers:We're Not a ‘Religion of the Book'One Text, Four SensesHow to Read the BibleHow to Read the Bible as a CatholicFiguring out the Bible?United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Understanding the BibleAscension Presents:Ways to Read the BibleHow to Start Reading the Bible in 10 StepsPeter Kreeft, ⁠You Can Understand the Bible⁠The St Paul CentreBishop Barron, Bishop Barron on How to Read the BibleThe Great Adventure BibleIgnatius Study BibleThe Navarre BibleLife Teen, Do You Want to Start Reading the Bible?

Earlier this year, we hosted Word on Fire's first international Evangelisation & Culture conference in London, at which Bishop Barron gave the keynote address. He focused on four themes of the Bible, examined the themes of creation, the God of Israel, right praise, and kingship. Today, we'll hear the first of those themes as we prepare for how those culminate in the person of Jesus Christ.

Friends of the Rosary,We continue reflecting upon the words of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:43–48). In today's reading, Christ the Lord invites us to show merciful love to those who offend and attack us, and be perfect, just as our heavenly Father."You have heard that it was said,You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.But I say to you, love your enemiesand pray for those who persecute you,that you may be children of your heavenly Father,for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good,and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have?Do not the tax collectors do the same?And if you greet your brothers only,what is unusual about that?Do not the pagans do the same?So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect." Love is willing the good of the other, and the test of love is when they cannot pay us back.The perfect example is Christ, who was betrayed by everyone (Jews, Romans, Pharisees, Sadducees, his disciples...), and yet these are the very people he loves, giving his life for them.Bishop Barron writes, "To the very people that contributed to his demise, he says, 'Shalom.” This is how we are loved; this is how we must love. Everything else is commentary."Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Matthew 5:17-19 - Jesus said to His disciples: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the Kingdom of heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.” Memorial of Saint Barnabas, Apostle Saint Barnabus, pray for us! 2) In appreciation of Bishop Barron https://crisismagazine.com/opinion/in-appreciation-of-bishop-barron 3) The Los Angeles Archdiocese on the current rioting https://cforc.com/2025/06/la-archdiocese-ontheriots/ 4) Protests intensify in Los Angeles after Trump deploys hundreds of National Guard troops https://apnews.com/article/immigration-protests-raids-los-angeles-78eaba714dbdd322715bf7650fb543d7

"The fact that people's religion tends to align with the culture and country that they grew up in shows that religion is just a cultural construct""There are so many hypocritical people who have used religion to abuse others, to start wars, or to seek power. These people undermine the validity of religion.""We no longer need God; science explains everything we need to know.""If God exists, then why is there so much suffering and evil in the world?"In this episode, we wrap up our discussion of objections to belief in God. ⁠Donate via PayPal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support us on Patreon!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact the podcast: crashcoursecatholicism@gmail.com.Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/crashcoursecatholicism/⁠⁠⁠References and further reading/listening/viewing:Pew Research Center, The Global Religious LandscapeSt. Thomas Aquinas, The Summa Theologiae, 1.2Trent Horn, Answering Atheism National Catholic Register, Does God Want Everyone to Be Catholic?The Problem of Evil: Actually, It's ComplicatedCatholic Answers:Christian HypocrisyAre You a Hypocrite?How can the Church be true when it produces hypocrisy?How to Answer the Problem of EvilThe Problem of EvilFr Mike Schmitz, "Judgmental, Bigoted, Homophobic, Elitist, and Hypocritical" (The World's Perception of Christians)Are All Catholics Hypocrites?Augustine of Hippo: God Enlarges the Capacity of Our Soul that He may Fill Us with His PresenceG.K.

Want to reach out to us? Want to leave a comment or review? Want to give us a suggestion or berate Anthony? Send us a text by clicking this link!Fresh from his trip to Greece, Anthony shares fascinating observations about Orthodox devotional practices and the stark cultural differences he experienced compared to Rome. This frames a substantive discussion about Bishop Martin's dramatic reversal on Latin Mass restrictions in Charlotte—extending permissions that were initially set to expire. The timing of this decision, coinciding with Cardinal Roche's audience with Pope Leo, suggests significant developments in Rome's approach to traditional liturgy.We dive into the curious phenomenon of liturgical refugees—Catholics seeking authentic worship in various traditions—and the sometimes contradictory criticisms they level at each other. The irony of Eastern Catholic converts criticizing SSPX attendees highlights the complex landscape Catholics navigate in search of reverent worship. This leads to an insightful analysis of Bishop Barron's interview with Tucker Carlson, examining whether intellectual approaches to faith communication can effectively spark religious revival in a secular age.At the heart of our conversation lies a critical observation about the masculine nature of traditional worship and its power to attract young men to the faith—a dynamic often missing in contemporary parish settings where feminization has become predominant. We explore how different spiritual temperaments respond to Eastern and Western approaches, while reflecting on what effective evangelization requires in our modern context.The discussion extends beyond ecclesiastical matters to examine concerning geopolitical developments, particularly Ukraine's targeting of Russia's nuclear capabilities and the implications for global stability. We conclude with reflections on advancing AI technology and its potential threats to privacy, security, and authentic human connection.Join us for this wide-ranging conversation that connects liturgical preferences to deeper questions about Catholic identity, masculine spirituality, and navigating faith in an increasingly unstable world.Sponsored by Recusant Cellars, an unapologetically Catholic and pro-life winery from Washington state.

The meaning and socio-political implementation of the term “multiculturalism” has become a flashpoint throughout the West. Supporters of multiculturalism argue that societies that embrace diverse norms and values are not only more dynamic and vibrant, they are also more just and represent the ideal form of the modern democratic state. On the other hand, critics of multiculturalism argue that permitting or deliberately engineering a society that embraces different and even contradictory norms and values is not only incoherent, it undermines the very foundation of a stable civic order. What can Catholicism contribute to this often rancorous debate? Amidst all the diversity within the Church, it remains theologically, morally, and institutionally unified. What makes this possible, and what lessons does it have for the wider world?

We continue celebrating twenty-five years of proclaiming the Gospel; evangelizing the culture; supporting the faithful; and inviting the disaffiliated, the forsaken, and those who have fallen away back to Christ and his church. However, over the years, attacks against Bishop Barron and Word on Fire have come from many sources, including online anti-evangelists who hate religion in general and Christianity in particular and from those who posture themselves as the Church's greatest defenders. What is the substance of these detractions? What motivates them? Do they pose an actual threat to the ministry? What can they teach us as evangelists about how to respond constructively to public criticism, especially when it's vicious?    A listener asks how we should understand the meaning and implications of “turning the other cheek.”  00:00 | Introduction 01:32 | Standing for life with the DOWR seminarians 02:27 | Do any of your critics surprise you? 03:40 | Early interaction with YouTube comments 05:28 | Criticism #1: You're too conservative—or too liberal 06:38 | Your critique of “beige Catholicism” is unfair and trivializing 09:45 | Criticism #2: Prioritizing beauty is a luxury 14:00 | Criticism #3: The thinkers you reference are only appropriate in academic settings 17:18 | Criticism #4:You've joined Balthasar in promoting universal salvation 20:01 | Criticism #5: You're too political—or not political enough 25:46 | Criticism #6: Your critiques of wokeism are one-sided and unfair to social justice 31:57 | Criticism #7: You're too supportive of Vatican II—or not supportive enough 35:50 | Criticism #8: You don't discern the platforms on which you appear 41:29 | Advice for responding to public criticism 42:33 | Listener question: How do I “turn the other cheek” without enabling the offender? 44:54 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Links: “Dare We Hope” Resource Page: https://www.wordonfire.org/hope/ Word on Fire Institute: https://institute.wordonfire.org/ NOTE: Do you like this podcast? Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member!

Patrick explores the tradition of the Easter greeting “Christ is risen—He is risen indeed,” and explains why Sunday Mass obligation does not apply when someone must care for a loved one in crisis. Patrick discusses the meaning behind the 153 fish in John’s Gospel and explains that Catholics can fulfill their Sunday obligation at any rite in communion with Rome. He addresses why cardinals over 80 do not vote in the Conclave, shares concerns and opportunities around the rapid rise of AI, and suggests how to find wholesome movies using new technology. Patrick encourages listeners to keep learning, stay curious, and live out their faith with confidence. Jen (email) - Give us a little lesson on the “Christ is risen” and the response “He is risen indeed.” (00:38) Andrea – I couldn’t make mass yesterday. Do I need to go to Confession? (03:41) Judy (email) – My reaction to the meme of DJT as Pope was a chuckle followed by, to quote Winni the Pooh, “oh bother”. (06:09) Mary - Can Cardinals above the age to vote still attend Conclave? (08:41) David - What does the 153 fish in yesterday's Gospel represent? (11:13) JuanLuis (email) - I know there are several Catholic churches in communion with Rome, and I would like to know if I can attend Sunday services in another Catholic church, such as a Byzantine Catholic church. Would I be fulfilling my Sunday mass obligation? (15:00) John (10-years-old) - Can religious people marry non-religious people? (18:06) Audio: AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton says the world is not prepared for what's coming (22:55) Klinsmayer (email) - I found out this weekend on Life Site news that the Governor (Catholic) of Washington signed a bill that demands that priests break the seal of confession under circumstances involving a crime. (29:34) Joel (email) - Yes the Trump as Pope meme was dumb.

Word on Fire is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. That's twenty-five years of proclaiming the Gospel, evangelizing the culture, and working hard to bring people to—or back to—Christ and his Church. It's worth pausing to look back to remember where it all began and how the ministry has grown along the way. What is Word on Fire's origin story? When, where, and why did Bishop Barron—then Fr. Barron—first conceive of the idea to found Word on Fire? What were the early years like? What have been some major developments along the way? What obstacles were encountered, what lessons learned? And what does the future look like for the next five, ten, and even fifty years? A listener asks how he might be able to become a part of the Word on Fire religious order.  00:00 | Introduction 01:22 | Minnesota bishops visit state capital 02:55 | A brief look at Bishop Barron's early priestly life 06:18 | Bishop Barron's cathedral project 06:58 | Word on Fire's beginning 09:49 | Beginning the Catholicism series 11:24 | Cardinal Francis George 14:30 | Early days with Fr.
