"Thomas and the New Atheists: Bishop Barron's Thomistic Institute Address Friends the new atheists have emerged as strident critics of religion.

"Act Against Your Attachments - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon Friends at the heart of what St. Ignatius of Loyola teaches in the Spiritual Exercises is the idea of detachment. If we are to do the will of God then we have to become detached from the worldly goods to which we are addicted. A basic principle of this detachment is agere contra which is Latin simply for to act against. The idea is simple: if you are attached or addicted to some worldly good then the best thing is to act against itto press aggressively even in the opposite direction.

"A Catholic-Orthodox Dialogue on Nicaea Friends at the time of the Nicene Creeds formulation Christians had been teaching preaching and theologizing about Jesus for almost three centuries.

Kosmas and Damianos Greek Orthodox Church in Rochester Minnesota. There I spoke of Christs centrality during the Council of Nicaea. Indeed throughout"

"The Natural Law - Bishop Barrons Sunday Sermon Friends in our first reading from the book of Deuteronomy this week Moses says to the people For this command that I enjoin on you today is not too mysterious and remote for you. . . . No it is something very near to you already in your mouths and in your hearts; you have only to carry it out. This is a master text for what we call in the Catholic tradition the natural law. It means that there is within us a kind of deep moral intuition by which we know the right thing to do; there are intuitions of value that give us a sense of meaning purpose"

"What Is Your Opinion on the Traditional Latin Mass Bishop Barron on Vatican II Friends I lived through liturgies in the late 60s and 70s that were completely alien to the letter and spirit of Vatican II. We need to encourage more beautiful and reverent celebrations of the Eucharist. And while I have zero quarrel with a wider practice of the Traditional Latin Mass I also believe that the Novus Ordo can be a very powerful and very rich expression of the liturgy. Remember Mother Teresa John Paul II and other great saints have been spiritually fed by the Ordinary Form.Watch this video for more."

How do we make sense of this theme of divine punishment without falling back into a terrible view of God as an arbitrary capricious tyrant This little passage from Hebrews gives us the interpretive key.
