Bishop Robert Barron | Beauty in the Catholic Tradition

welcome to SERMON OF LIFE
We bring the Bible to everyone

[@markmanning-o4w]

I was inspired to return to church after 30 yrs away by an unplanned walk into the beautiful St Helens Cathedral in Helena Montana during vacation. I was flooded with awe at the beautiful stained glass story of the Bible and soft chant music playing: I stayed for 3 hrs in prayer on a Friday afternoon. It was the best vacation I ever had.

Joe this is the greatest talk by Bishop Barron !

[@tracycameron5099]

Sublime! I experienced Ste Chappelle, Chartres, and Notre Dame de Paris and was never the same...ultimately leading to God the Father and Jesus Christ...the Most of the Most!

👏👏👏Such a WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL, INSPIRING Presentation! I would have loved to see the slides included, but thank you for providing Bishop Barron's talk.

[@wendyfield7708]

A very interesting talk.

[@marias.6955]

Such a pity that "sermon of life" has decided to no longer include the actual visual filming, especially in this talk, which, I assume, would have been accompanied by depictions, slides,... as Bishop Barron mentions and refers to them in this talk. One SHOULD have thought the audience would also have profited - spiritually - from actually SEEING what he was talking about when he elucidates on this very topic of BEAUTY, which more often than not is of a VISUAL nature, not just the hearing (of words) or the scent of incense, or the feeling of the warmth of candles. Could somebody perhaps tell me if this talk is also posted WITH live footage of Bishop Barron & the slides he must have been showing?? Under which title and on which channel I could find it? Thank you.

What's wrong with Vatican II? FAQs 1. What is wrong with the Second Vatican Council? The Second Vatican Council taught doctrines which had been already condemned by the Church, and enacted disciplines which are contrary to the Church's teaching and constant practice. 2. What doctrines did it teach which were already condemned? There are four major errors concerning: (1) the unity of the Church; (2) ecumenism; (3) religious liberty; (4) collegiality. 3. What false doctrine does it teach concerning the unity of the Church? Vatican II teaches heresy concerning the unity of the Church, namely that the Church of Christ is not exclusively identified with the Catholic Church, but merely subsists in it. This heretical doctrine is contained principally in Lumen Gentium, and its heretical meaning is confirmed in statements of Paul VI and his successors, particularly in the 1983 Code of Canon Law, in the 1992 Statement concerning Church and Communion, and in the Ecumenical Directory. It is contrary to the teaching of the Catholic Church, contained principally in Satis Cognitum of Pope Leo XIII, Mortalium Animos of Pope Pius XI, Mystici Corporis of Pope Pius XII, and in the condemnations of the "Branch Theory" made by the Holy Office under Pope Pius IX. 4. What false doctrine does it teach concerning ecumenism? The teaching of Vatican II concerning ecumenism, which states that non-Catholic religions are a "means of salvation," is overtly heretical. This doctrine directly contradicts the teaching of the Church that there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church, called by Pope Pius IX "a most well-known Catholic dogma." In addition, the ecumenical practices which have resulted from this heretical doctrine are directly contrary to Mortalium Animos of Pope Pius XI. 5. What false doctrine does it teach concerning religious liberty? The teaching of Vatican II on religious liberty, contained in Dignitatis Humanae, nearly word for word asserts the very doctrine which was condemned by Pope Pius VII in Post Tam Diuturnas, by Pope Gregory XVI in Mirari Vos, by Pope Pius IX in Quanta Cura, and by Pope Leo XIII in Libertas Praestantissimum. The teaching of Vatican II on religious liberty also contradicts the royalty of Jesus Christ in society as expressed in Quas Primas of Pope Pius XI, and the constant attitude and practice of the Church with regard to civil society. 6. What false doctrine does it teach concerning collegiality? The teaching of Vatican II concerning collegiality alters the monarchical constitution of the Catholic Church, with which she was endowed by the Divine Savior. The doctrine of Vatican II, confirmed by the 1983 Code of Canon Law, which states that the subject (the possessor) of the supreme authority of the Church is the college of bishops together with the pope, is contrary to the defined doctrine of the Council of Florence and of Vatican I. 7. What is wrong with the disciplines which have emanated from Vatican II? The 1983 Code of Canon Law contains the heresy of Vatican II concerning the Church, mentioned above. It also permits sacrilege to the Blessed Sacrament, by approving of its reception by non-Catholics, which is a mortal sin, and permits communicatio in sacris (common public worship) with non-Catholics, which is a mortal sin. In addition, the Ecumenical Directory of 1993 permits ecumenical practices which have always been taught by the Church to be mortally sinful. 8. What does all this mean? It means that Vatican II and its subsequent reforms have given us a new religion, a religion which is substantially different from the Roman Catholic Faith founded by Christ. The reformers have substantially altered the three main components of religion: doctrine, worship, and discipline. The result is that the reformers are promoting a religion of ecumenism in place of the Roman Catholic religion, which has always taught that it alone is the one, true Faith, and that all other religions are false. The Vatican II religion teaches doctrines which have been condemned by the Church in the past. It has instituted rites and disciplines which are Protestant in nature. As a result, the religion which Catholics find in their local parishes and schools, although in name Catholic, is a new, non-Catholic religion already condemned by the Catholic Church. 9. Could it be that you are merely giving a bad interpretation to Vatican II? No. The heretical nature of this council is confirmed by: the doctrinal interpretation given to Vatican II by Paul VI and his successors in their decrees, encyclicals, catechisms, etc.; the series of abominations perpetrated by John Paul II against the First Commandment of God, in the form of ecumenical ceremonies which constitute false worship, even to pagan deities in some cases; the alteration of the Sacred Liturgy in such a way that the Catholic Mass has been replaced by a Protestant supper service; the tampering with the matter and form of the sacraments so that many of them, but most notably the Holy Eucharist and Holy Orders, labor under doubt or invalidity; the promulgation of disciplines, especially the 1983 Code of Canon Law and the Ecumenical Directory, which approve of sacrilege against the Holy Eucharist and the Sacrament of Matrimony, and which demonstrate heresies concerning the unity of the Church as their theoretical basis; the scandalous mockery made of the Sacrament of Matrimony by the granting of annulments for spurious reasons, constituting an abandonment of the sacred doctrine of the indissolubility of marriage; the fact that John Paul II is in communion with manifest heretics, has openly declared himself to be in communion with non-Catholic sects, and has recognized an apostolic mission in schismatic and Lutheran bishops, all of which destroys the unity of faith. He has even kissed the Koran, which explicitly denies the Incarnation and the Trinity. He has also publicly prayed that St. John the Baptist protect Islam.

Whatever happened to the Catholic tradition🤔. Have you seen the strange pastiche they are calling a liturgical dance, that resembles a depiction of a bad imitation of the influence of a chinese/southeast Asian, buddhist- themed, multi- cultural tourist event, set on a stage done up as the sanctuary of a catholic church, just to add a tad of tradition😮. If you have, but lately, come to the beauty of the Catholic tradition or, at least it's meaning for you, if that is not considered to be too personal or selfish, or shameful, in the true Catholic tradition, something to be sacrificed for the greater good of synodality.......well do you have to go doubt your own senses for instance, your sense of appreciation that is attached to a sense of your gratitude that you have been given something, even a gift, that hitherto, you did not have the ,,sense,, to understand, and now you notice that inside that gift of added gratitude, you may find yourself sensing or sensitive to, even smaller or simpler gifts within gifts. Of course this sounds like an analogy to the Bible passage that says, ,,the kingdom of God is like a mansion with many rooms, or it might be like a beautiful piece of hand made cabinetry with different spaces or drawers to hold things or it could be a piece of art in the form of a book displaying to the reader in written and pictorial form an exploration of a person's life, good, bad and indifferent as buffeted by dozens of subcultures rubbing up against others trying to coalesce into an integrated perspective, while meanwhile the chaos created by clashes within clashes within culture wars with in an ever-changing, shape shifting pop culture derived from raiding social and cultural movements and religions across time,... shifts us, into, of all things identity politics to try to prevent cultural genocide, as even amid this embarrassment of riches, fears keep popping up, caused by miscreants branded of all things-guilty of cultural misappropriation, inflaming the breasts of activists for a new reformation of western society and religion we might liken it to the story of Pandora's box and take some cues on what lies ahead, and behind, for that matter. So if the synod on synodality is like trying to resize the box, or to spill out what remains, as if that is going to take care of matters or put the lid back on to their synodal satisfaction, they may have misapprehended the project in store for them, considering the forces at play. If anything, its perfect timing for testing the faith, as it has stood, not for aligning it with the ,,times,,. For the sake of moderation if not modernization, and Jesus said, He came under the sign of peace and that the gates of hell would not prevail.
