Faith, Science, and Evangelization

Friends, it was such a delight to see so many people come together for the 2023 Wonder Conference on the harmony of faith and science. My keynote address explored three philosophical paths beyond scientism, which holds that authentic truth claims can be made only in regard to those matters treatable through the scientific method.
Stay tuned for Wonder 2024!

Bishop Barron - as a teacher in a Catholic school, speeches (and evangelization) like this will save the world - our children, our history, our educational systems, and our souls. God Bless.

“We dumbed down the Faith after the council” Thank you Bishop Barron for telling it as it is. 🙏

[@cindykrueger4993]

Bishop Barron. I love it when you use Latin. You always explain the meaning and it helps me to continue growing in my knowledge and my faith. We are blessed to have you as our bishop in the Winona-Rochester Diocese.

Once again, another reason why bishop Barron strengthens my faith. Thank you Father.

It brings glory to God and Christ Jesus to see so many sons of Abraham, who were once lost, now going back to their Overseer and Maker through the light of Christ. Israel's false shepherds certainly grieved God's Spirit by robbing Him of His worshippers and drove out His wisdom that guided all their prophets sent to them. He certainly is faithful, even though they rebelled, and waits patiently for the promise He made to Abraham. Israel still gave birth to His Son and Savior of the world, being a blessing to all nations. No one can confine God's understanding and His plans for mankind. The God who created heavens and earth has a Son and, being a Son and born King, inherits everything and has brought Him glory. Abraham, His servant, who was given the land of Israel on earth, still has descendants who seek His heavenly Kingdom, the New Jersualem, which will be an eternal Kingdom, coming from heaven with all those prophets and saints who waited for that Day!

Great talk Bishop Barron. I am on fire after hearing your talk. I am a STEM high school teacher and a catechist. We are facing the culture that wants to cancel or slient us when wanting to speak the truth about our Catholic tradition. Totally agree that we need to incorporate science, technolog and mathematics in our belief system to deepening our understanding of the universe that God created. There should not be any conflict between science and religion. Knowing God makes us fully alive as you pointed out. We should not be afraid to speak the truth despite being bullied or persecuted by the left in society. Thank you and may God continue to bless your ministry.

Reason + faith = 5.

My personal experience: if you have no knowledge, you’re religious. If you gain some knowledge, you lose your religion. If you gain a lot of knowledge, you become religious again, but in a different way.

[@jordanaraujo2579]

This is one of the best Bishop Barron talks I've heard.

[@sigishere]

I got it. Someday everybody will get it !

[@notloki3377]

wonderful exhibition of theological insight.

Mon cher Bishop Baron,

"Mathematics rightly viewed possesses not only truth but supreme beauty."

[@nedwards3409]

Outstanding in breadth, scope and expression!

I’m not sure what is going on in the Catholic Church on a whole. Where I live in rural East Tennessee my church has for years been small one service on sundays maybe 30-40 people. That was 4 years ago. Today there are closer to 200 with standing room only most weeks. They also have more people in confirmation class than they use to have in the whole church. When I was a kid in the late 80s in Florida we had thousands going to our church and only 7 people in my confirmation class. Something is changing. I only hope they can capitalize on it. My wife and I crave more from the Catholic Church than just one standard mass. We need more.

[@hansweichselbaum2534]

All very nice Bishop Barron. I totally agree with you. Scientism is bad. Science doesn't disprove the existence of God. But the main problem for young people is that science conflicts with the LITERAL reading of the Bible. Unfortunately, this probably is the main hurdle. You should make video on that topic.

[@rachyljean]

This is the most beautiful speech I've ever seen.

[@kipling1957]

I so want to hear the bishop in long conversation with John Vervaeke.

[@imnotanalien7839]

The time flew by…thank you for the fascinating talk. My head is in the universe right now.😂
