The scene which you spoke of with princess Alice had me in tears. As someone who has returned to the faith( with the help of the Dominican friars) after many years of darkness, I can attest that “faith is everything “

Pretty amazing that a television program would address these essential issues.

I was very devout Anglican Christian (Anglican Mission) formerly Anglican Coalition and I have a great deal respect for the British Royal family and I am a distant cousin of many of the British Royal family people. I am very impressed by Bishop Robert Barron!

[@kiwiseniora]

That is a very profound moment, not only for Prince Philip but for those who have watched Bishop Barron doing a review of this episode of The Crown.

[@praxidescenteno3233]

Yes. Priest wonderful teached us all is Grace!

[@madhumitadutta5501]

Of all the great religions of the world none emphasizes the role of Grace to the extent Christianity does and really this is the characteristic which is its strength and beauty.

[@timrichardson4018]

The primacy of Grace. I have been on a learning curve lately, facing the fact that I have a strong tendency to try to do good by my own effort. I have this need to prove something to myself, to accomplish, to be better. Not necessarily bad things. But I'm incapable of reaching the ultimately satisfying level of the good on my own. Thank God for grace!

[@mmvr2680]

[@crisrobledot-castaneda398]

Bishop, have you realize that the dean from the crown looks like you? I was crying when Philip say help, he finally was open to God! How many time we feel like this and we are so stubborn to say help me lord, I cant! God keep blessing you.

[@MsMonica1957]

We haven't watched season three yet, but we love this series. My favorite scene so far was when the Queen was asking Billy Graham for his thoughts on forgiveness. He said we are supposed to forgive because Jesus forgave the people who were crucifying him. The queen then quoted the entire passage that also said "forgive them for they know not what they are doing." It seems to answer the question of what will happen to those remote tribes who have never heard the gospel, which people sometimes bring up... Looking forward to season 3!

[@jeremiahong248]

@Monica Chadwick. Re your question on those remote tribes who have not heard the gospel, they can be saved if they live a good life per CCC 847 Outside the Church there is no salvation" 846 How are we to understand this affirmation, often repeated by the Church Fathers?335 Re-formulated positively, it means that all salvation comes from Christ the Head through the Church which is his Body: Basing itself on Scripture and Tradition, the Council teaches that the Church, a pilgrim now on earth, is necessary for salvation: the one Christ is the mediator and the way of salvation; he is present to us in his body which is the Church. He himself explicitly asserted the necessity of faith and Baptism, and thereby affirmed at the same time the necessity of the Church which men enter through Baptism as through a door. Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it. 847 This affirmation is not aimed at those who, through no fault of their own, do not know Christ and his Church: Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience - those too may achieve eternal salvation.

[@MsMonica1957]

Thanks Jeremiah! Great explanation😄

[@johnrobinson9486]

Thank you Bishop Barron, the scene with Phillip saying “help me” was amazing. I told my wife that that episode was the best thing I’ve ever seen on a television show. We just binge watched “Messiah” on Netflix. It’s kind of a tricky one I’m not sure how I feel about it theologically but I am entertained by it. I wonder if you’d be able to comment on it at some point?

I've been watching The Chosen series and I've been so impressed by it! Waiting for the next one.

Princess Alice, RIghteous among the Gentiles, humblest and most humiliated of women, most generous and courageous of women, I hope she is recognised as a Saint in the Orthodox church.

[@murrayaronson3753]

Princess Alice was a sister of Louis Lord Mountbatten and Queen Louise of Sweden. Her aunts were Grand Duchess Elizabeth of Russia and Empress Alexandra and her cousins were Grand Duchesses Maria, Tatiana, Olga, and Anastasia. The Tsarevich Alexis was also her cousin. They were all murdered, as was Grand Duchess Elizabeth who became a nun after her husband Grand Duke Sergei was murdered. Grand Duchess Elizabeth ministered to the care of the poor and disabled of Moscow and gather she was hands-on. The remains of Grand Duchess Elizabeth somehow were retrieved and they were buried at the Russian Orthodox Church near the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. Princess Alice asked that she be buried next to her aunt. When Prince William visited Jerusalem recently, he went to the Russian Orthodox Church to pay his respects to his great grandmother and presumably her aunt.

Or rather, Bless it! Seems more appropriate, wouldn't you say. It sounds like this will add to your life, thus blessing you. It will also bless you with the oppprtunity to exercise your discipline to not get sucked into any other shows... OR find a friend who has Netflix, watch "The Crown" together on their TV/device, then go home. And not even worry about getting back on Netflix.

[@joshuafletcher4501]

I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on the 2017 film “First Reformed.” It takes a deep dive into theological questions that many people of faith aren’t asking, but maybe should be. I think you would love it, I know I did.

Im a Jordan Peterson fan. but as much as i love him this video makes me realise that he is actually pelagian. In other words he preaches a kind of salvation through self exertion, through carrying your cross and walking up the hill of your destiny. This is fine as far as it goes but there is no talk of Gods love and forgiveness.

[@marypinakat8594]

I do think we can give him good respect. I think it is *both unfair and uncharitabl*e to analyse him in terms of 'love', 'forgiveness' etc. *BTW why are you discussing Jordan Peterson here in this Review?*

[@SpiritualFox]

Wikipedia: "Pelagius, an ascetic who is said to have come from Britain, was concerned about the retention of man's moral accountability in the face of God's omnipotence. *He strongly affirmed that men had free will and were able to choose good as well as evil. Pelagius denied that original sin had extinguished God's grace in Adam's heirs,* and that consequently mankind had the power to do good, to convert themselves from sin by their own power, and the ability to work out their own salvation. Religion's purpose is to teach us virtue, from which we can expect reward from God. By great efforts, it is possible for those in the flesh to achieve moral perfection." I find it unwise to take sides on a paradox, although such a statement probably nonetheless sides me with Anglicanism, or maybe Calvinism. The underlayer is the battle over The Eucharist and the recognition of authority, the fading of authority, the dispersal of powers, and basically, where the final resting place of authority is (who is the final arbiter of the word? or something like that). It's the sort of question that if answered, gives us the ability to discern who is a Saint (one who has attained final salvation), so, the church answered it in the manner nessisary to empower itself to do this. It's a truly aggravating paradox, in that the power play involved posits that man as a whole is in majoritaire either leaning towards good or evil, and that we should act to bring about the best conclusion before _we_ grant grace (defined as forgiveness, honestly, although i find translations of grace from the greek or the septuagint to be more mystifying than helpful, so we'll go with love as you suggest, Mr. Bishop Barron, as defined as having the interests of others first). So, my Judgement: _Gratias gratis data_ Perhaps, perhaps, the church falls because it covets the right of saving. As a result, the fetishization of the eucharist is supplanted by the covenant of baptism which more fully and obviously brings one into a consentual marriage with the church, which is what people want. Basically, and essentially, the church has miscalculated. 'You've' convinced _everyone_ they're adoptive sons of God, and yet persist in starting the hero's journey from the last supper rather than from the beginning of Christ's ministry (baptism). -Sincerely yours, God is Gracious
