Inside the Life of a Priest: Clerically Speaking Podcast (Part 1)

[@Barbaramamato]

Bishop Barron's familial manner puts these questions in perspective, the conversation style is congenial, concise and practical. His Excellency's informality in the discussion is so likable. It's as if one is present at a small gathering of Catholic priests watching this and listening to the podcast a few days before. At ease with almost any subject, his approach seems unguarded, a disarming presence, gives the impression of being invitingly approachable like being among friends.

[@metanoia1122]

Agreed! I have the utmost respect for Bishop Barron and I also find him so irresistibly endearing. What a wonderful shepherd.

[@marynadononeill]

well written

[@katkat2340]

So well said , he is such a genuine person.

Well said x3

[@RC-dp1gu]

Your atheist playlist allowed me to believe. I wanted to but didn’t think I’d be able to. You made it make sense. I’m taking catechism classes now ❤️

[@dwong9289]

That’s awesome. I’m also in RCIA. Something that will definitely help your journey to the faith is learning to pray the rosary daily.

[@SowerOfMustardSeed]

Pray for u 🙏🏼 welcome to the family friend

[@liamcroatt171]

Yes, I'm a new catholic too. I'm coming from protestantism. I'm so happy to see you here to :)

[@lobomgmt4956]

@@liamcroatt171 Became a Catholic after 15 years of being a "none". Bishop Barron's videos helped me with my spiritual formation, and continues to do so in a very pertinent way.

[@epic5945]

I think Bishop Barron is wonderful. He really speaks in a manner Catholics can understand and relate to. I’ve been following him for 10 years and his videos have really enlightened me.

[@carmencitacuevas7158]

Amen to your comments

[@carmencitacuevas7158]

Bishop Barron is an authentic Evangelizer. He uses words within the understanding of ordinary people and listeners. Thankful for what you do.

[@Gramma_Holly]

I think the parish can do a lot to help a priest not feel lonely by inviting him to dinner or family celebrations. Treating him to coffee or lunch. For our priest, because of Covid, we had a big drive-by birthday party in the parking lot and showered him with gifts and cards to show how much we appreciate him and what he is doing for us during the pandemic. I know it's not quite the same as fraternity with other priests, but I think we need to make our parish priests feel loved and appreciated.

[@davy1972]

Very well said.

[@Barbaramamato]

Agreed

[@SowerOfMustardSeed]

You r doing substantial good work! 👍🏼 our church needs more of you. Thanks 🙏🏼

[@paxdespi9643]

I'm happy to share that in the Philippines, it is usual for the priest to be invited to all sorts of social activities or even just a family meal or coffee at the parish concessionaire. Of course, we observe masking and social distancing. We're pretty mindful of that because medical care is expensive here.

[@JohnR.T.B.]

Thank you Bishop, your pastoral works are very important in bringing the light to the nations! 😁 Prayers to you always, protected from evil, blessed in the Holy Spirit!

[@Thelnquisitor]

This is a really well structured podcast. Bishop Barron getting to answer questions in his long well thought out way is very well done.

[@isaacv.6467]

Bishop Barron a legend

[@saraanic9436]

Bishop Barron, I love that you shared Clerically Speaking on your YT channel! Fr. Harrison and Fr. Anthony do some really good work with it 😊

[@kemmow25]

Always makes it easier for the newer generation to understand.

[@wreloise1]

Yes, intellectual strong -suit, I find myself researching literature on Aquinas, Pitre, Gallagher, CS Lewis etc. Thank you

[@robertmiller5258]

‘….clergy people were the happiest…’ Bp Barron is evidently a happy clergy person! There is always a smile flickering about his face.

[@dawnlapka2433]

I'm grateful for Bishop Barron. I help to pray for priests and seminarians. The Seven Sisters also pray for husbands as priests of the domestic household, if they are married. Some of the women are married to Deacons and teachers of the Faith.

[@JesusIsLove2512]

Praise the Lord Jesus Christ 🙏 Mother Mary Pray For Us 🙏Abba Father Bless us and we Adore You 🙏

[@anneturner2759]

This beautiful man has been called. Thank you my Lord, my God.

[@margarethhuapcent1270]

I think God is calling me for rest. Awesome BISHOP, THANK YOU!

[@katkat2340]

Priests I have known - all remarkable and guiding lights. Each different but no doubt - clearly called. Thank you , thanks be to God . Heart of God

[@robertmiller5258]

‘Formation’ is such a wonderful useful word - redolent of Aristotle and Aquinas.

[@decluesviews2740]

Fantastic! Great video

[@tessroque7400]

Thnx Bshp Barron.

[@FARBOLUOS]

It’s all God’s work. We just answer the call.

[@elevatedgaming2885]

If priests didn’t get paid there wouldn’t be a tenth of how many there are, no matter how much God “calls them” to become one.

[@FARBOLUOS]

DAMM990 dahhhhhhhh!!! That would be through on anything else. The thing is they make a choice on something they have to give up a lot. Jerk.

[@bassman_0074]

DAMM990 every priest graduates with 9 years of post high school education. (4 college, 4 major seminary, 1 diaconate) They could’ve gone into anything else and made A LOT more money with that level of education but they chose the priesthood instead while giving up a lot more than just money. A wife, kids, more days off, etc.

[@bassman_0074]

Collins Anosike yeah I agree. I was just talking about priests in general so that’s why I mentioned the minimum education they need (which is very extensive). Plus he said the priests are in it for the money, so I said they already gave up a lot of money as well as many other things to show that their intentions are pure instead of greedy.

[@kimpozon8230]

Thank you so,much

[@joaneryan9962]

Brilliant video thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[@daleolmsted1966]

Your program, Word on Fire, sounds very good, and really, most necessary. One of my arguments with the church is that it had forgotten how to go out to the world. In point, the church has discouraged lay involvement as a “professional” approach by priests, brothers and sisters could be the only ones trusted to carry our that calling of the church. The church has done a very minimal and piss poor job instructing its faithful in many aspects of the faith let alone to be evangelical. My problem with your program, or almost any church program, is that I can not economically afford it. I know it cost to set up and operate any program, Enough said. I am a sinner, god help me.

[@petrasant5495]

What you say is true. Looks to me, that GOD “IS” helping you. And yes we are All sinners. Greetings from Wales, Dale. IESU BENDIGEDIG. (Wonderful Jesus)

[@levismadore556]

The seminary life I have known: A greenhouse where souls and spirits were in some way fertilized to think in a pre-formatted way with a high level of suspicion for our bodies while, at the same time, an intellectual development opportunity to be envied by many universities. From age 13 on, meals in silence, monthly retreats, mandatory sports, study, prayer and, yes, a heart full support from noble and generous men of prayer of awesome intellect. A love-hate relationship for me, a precious heritage and, at the same time, a running commentary that if you did not become a priest, you risked eternal failure. To pursue your metaphor of « seeds being planted and cultivated », I felt more like a bonsai tree than a oak tree allowed to grow as the oak tree that it is. Levis Shalom

[@alicjakempisty2729]

You went to seminary at the age of 13?

[@LostArchivist]

When and where sir?

[@levismadore556]

The Archivist 1957, Montfort Seminary. After the year called « La Rhétorique », I completed one year as a Novice followed by year one of Philosophy where our texts were all in latin. Wonderful. Levis Shalom

[@ariamcsrm1902]

oh my goodness, i grw up the back of the yards neighborhood. went to st mary immeculate on 45th and ashland.

[@LostArchivist]

Am I the only one who feels like a student who accidently listened in on the teachers talking, when listening to this video?

[@theosis9582]

Dude, I keep on running into your comments on a ton of videos. Didn't you once get into a debate on an eastern Orthodox video? You quoted a bunch of eastern fathers supporting papal primacy.

[@LostArchivist]

@@theosis9582 I have no idea honestly. I spend way too much time in the KZbin sphere though. If I quoted Eastern Fathers that was by God leading me, I only gather the wisdom of others and try to use this technology for its purpose by gathering the great feast of wisdom that Holy Mother Church has to offer here. I certainly couldn't repeat it here on the spot. I am flattered you noticed me though. Feel free to browse my playlists (I do need to clean them though, and I recommend a computer since mobile only lists the most recent and that is always shifting), there are alot of gems I dug up in there. Pick what catches your eye and what God calls you towards and start walking through the verdant fields of the Church's wisdom. If you like the Church Fathers specifically try the Journey Home Network's series on it and Catholic Culture's Way of the Fathers podcast for a good start. God bless you!

[@LostArchivist]

@@theosis9582 I am just a bit uncertain because I almost never venture into the Orthodox part of KZbin. Was it Orthodox or Eastern Rite Catholicism?

[@ethanstueve9892]

when is Bishop Barron going on The Crunch ???

[@PatNeve]

what's the crunch

[@patgordon113]

Please say the title of his book referred to at 15:12. Thank you!

[@jimluebke3869]

Bishop Barron, could you do some videos on adult formation?

[@kevinrhatigan5656]

Thanks for this. When is part 2 coming out?

[@raygarcia8419]

Dear father what happens if you get the call late and you're still not married you have taken all the sacraments except marriage is it too late to be a priest or is it better to be a priest older than younger

[@mpmccormick1]

is happiness the presence of something or the absence of trial?

[@lanbaode]

How about the bishop writing a commentary on Luke and Acts in line with his focal interest in evangelization of culture and by going back to Jesus himself and the early church.

[@ruthgilmour8399]

Any negative comments have been removed haven't they?

[@augustom.cantos8967]

Hello father..! if you are the chosen one. do you really need to do something?

[@michaeladams8934]

This is more a continuation of this; “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” ifou see me as the truth and believe that I have the blood of my father will you take up your bed and trust and follow me to the kingdom of my father? To except the body and the blood of Jesus Christ is to except the Kingdom of God. Glory be to the Father Amen.

[@The12thSeahorse]

Excellent interviewer......whoever he is?

[@kathleenfleming4922]

The12thSeahorse there’s 2 of them - Fr. Harrison Ayre and Fr. Anthony Sciarappa, the fantastic hosts of the podcast “Clerically Speaking.”

[@anneturner2759]

Who wants Bishop Barron to sit down with Bill Maher? I sense from Bill Maher a longing to know, a yearning . I see a highly sensitive side to him , a sadness if you will.

[@ABB14-11]

Bill Maher is too angry (and kinda proud too) to be receptive right now. But perhaps soon.

[@elevatedgaming2885]

If they didn’t get paid, there wouldn’t be a tenth of the priests there are in the world. (I only say this to convey that doesn’t matter if they were “called by God”. If there’s no money in the game, there’s no players.

[@marynadononeill]

How in the world do you expect someone to live without money for food, shelter, etc. You write as if they are supposed to go around with begging bowls to survive!
