In 2020, Bishop Barron went out of his way to advise Catholics that they good vote for Joe Biden because both of the main candidates were flawed, and despite Biden's open record on abortion and homosexual "marriage" in direct opposition to Church teaching. Very "courageous leadership" indeed......NOT.

another point pf view If you are wondering about the question of whether your sexuality is a sin or not, I welcome you to consider the following thoughts for clarification. Let’s look at some basic fundamental facts based on extensive research & ongoing R&D. During fetal development a verity of biochemical agents are introduced which determine the development of the fetus. Major agents such as testosterone & estrogen & a host of others agents determine size, weight, hair color, eye color & sexuality along with a host of other traits. Variations in the amount & timing of the introduction of these agents have a major effect in our development. The fetus is a passive participant & has no influence in these matters. Sexuality, for example, & all other secondary traits are thus given to us. Well, this begs the question, is homosexuality a sin. If your religion or belief system states that it is, then there can be no argument. These are the rules based on this system’s dogma. If you accept this system, you must accept the rules. This is your only choice which is condemnation. If, however, you are in a belief system based on logic, reason, observation & common sense, & no reliance on spirituality the conclusion is totally different. Replacing ancient religion & mythology with reason leads to another conclusion. Leaving religions that use condemnation & ridicule for control, can be the first step in becoming a true human being minus any imposed or fabricated guilt. There exist many variations of human sexual expression. When you leave various ancient religious beliefs behind & chose knowledge based in research, you can see & understand the true nature of humanity. You leave ignorance, hatred, & prejudice behind. In the book Gay Straight & the Reason Why by Simon Levay PhD, explanations regarding this aspect of humanity are clearly explained & is based on research. While I am not gay, I highly recommend this book. Being gay is no more of a sin than having red hair. They are both based on genetics & clearly not a sin. There is nothing wrong with you. This is the true choice. Peace

You comment denies the existence of free will. The overwhelming majority of atheists do not believe we have any free will as they claim we are all a function of dna / cells / biology.

"Freedom of religion" is an error of Vatican II, introduced by an American Jesuit. The traditional teaching of the Church is religious tolerance as opposed to religious libertinism, which places the Truth and the lie on equal footing. It is typical of revolutionary ideology, which is obsessed with and determined to bring about absolute equality of all people, things and even ideas. A uptopian nightmare. The only religion that deserves total freedom to fulfill its divince mission is the one estalished by God Himself. This is why there are so many problems in today's self-imploding society. "Religious freedom" is what has brought us to this sad, relativistic point, specifically in this case, with full-term abortion and genderism.

religious discrimination has been illegal since the mid 1960's. If the Church opposes abortion, it can preach same to all who will listen. But to object to the ERA as a constitutional amendment because it restricts future legislation is convoluted. The ERA IS legislation. And those that believe that reproductive rights is a choice best left to women, their families and their medical providers should not be barred from that by the Church's application of its principles to non-Catholics.

When we are in crisis you’d think the Bishop’s, (and I’m not picking on Bishop Barron, but all the Bishop’s) would be appearing in person at these public forums and wielding the authority of their office to make a difference. Church history has demonstrated that there is nothing more influential than that going all the way back to St. Athanasius. The faithful would support them in droves, but they just don’t or won’t do it. It’s time to stop hiding behind videos, tweets and perfectly nicely worded letters and start acting like the Shepherds of the flock. Leave your finely furnished offices and take to the streets!

"Women have control over their bodies." Well, yes. There are tragic cases of force or deception, but generally control is exercised when they take their pants off. After that the doer is responsible for the natural results as with any other voluntary act. And if abstinence is too hard, there are contraceptives. It's probably not a fit subject for public laws, though, because cases can differ so much.

Victimized by the "so called" Equal Rights Amendment? I found your video to be misleading. Everyone should read the proposal. As amended, HF173/SF37* would ask voters at the 2026 general election if the state constitution should be amended to codify the right to equality. The ballot question would be: "Shall the Minnesota Constitution be amended to say that all persons shall be guaranteed equal rights under the laws of this state, and shall not be discriminated against on account of race, color, national origin, ancestry, disability, or sex, including pregnancy, gender, and sexual orientation?” Isn't it time we all had equal rights under the law?

So sorry! I am reminded of the 1960s, when the same folks were fighting desegregation! “The more things change, the more they stay the same!” Bishop, neither theologians nor politicians are competent to make rules or laws about human reproduction and human sexuality! You should be mature enough to understand that abortion is not a black and white issue! As to differences regarding one’s gender, do your research! And that goes not just for Bishop Barron, but for everyone who reads my words! Refusing to do so is both spiritually and intellectually LAZY! Speaking of the Faith, start with the Two Great Commandments and the Story of the Good Samaritan! Why did Jesus Christ choose to name the person who came to the aid of the robbery victim a Samaritan?

Rubbish. The competence involves morality, and so they can indeed comment on what you simply do not like.

@@michaelthrone Well! However, they still are NOT demonstrating competency! All too often, it’s a matter of power! And on the secular front, it’s both power and money! Your views, and those of the “conservatives,” suffer from “tunnel vision,” rather than trying to “walk a mile in the other person’s shoes!” Remember, too, that the folks in the temple who demanded the crucifixion of Jesus were the comfortable, complacent conservatives! And now too many of the church hierarchy have been behaving in the same way! I pray that Pope Francis prevails in his vision for the church, but he has a long road ahead and so little time left!
