    ST. TERESA OF LISIEUX: “How great a joy it is to know that God makes allowances for our weaknesses and understands perfectly the frailty of our humanity. God our Father loves us always, absolutely, unfailingly, eternally.”

      to Catholicity-uw2yb, the frailty of the humanity of Bishop Robert Barron is evident when he is not keeping in uncertainty of his belief the inseparability and qualitative equality of:
      (a) identity-roles of consecrated celibate marriage vowed to man in Christ and consecrated male female marriage vowed to God,
      (b) roles of helpers of the family members consenting in uncertainty of their belief to be joined in these consecrated marriages.
      This in uncertainty of belief is termed the "multiplier" as that of economic role processes and non-economic identity progress.
      This not keeping by Bishop Barron was on 20 July 2022 in his purporting presuming "a higher way of love" of consecrated celibate marriage to consecrated male female marriage then corrected by his keeping this on 20 December 2023 on the reference point of Pope Francis' consecrated celibate marriage on 17 June 2021, his synod on synodality from November 2021 and his approval of Fiducia Supplicans, DDF, 18 December 2023.

    This shows how polarizing Paul was, even today. This has been out for a week, and only 26 comments which is very unlike the Bishops other videos. Are people scared of Pauls teachings?He said some very hard things yes but I believe the Bishop, where would the Church have gone with out his conversion?

      The bishop is discussing history. Most Christians know next to nothing about real Christian history, hence the dearth of commentary.

    • @oliverclark5604
      @oliverclark5604 11 дней назад

      to Andrew Brennan, Paul's "opinion" in his helper of the family role at 1Cor7:25-34 in groomed error polarised roles of helpers of the family.
      Pope Francis' consecrated celibate marriage identity-role vowed to man in Christ in the keeping in uncertainty of his belief of its inseparability and qualitative equality with consecrated male female marriage identity-role vowed to God on 17 June 2021 on the reference point of Mary at Lk 1:29-45 and Mt 1:24 corrected this polarisation by advantageously combining these helpers of the family roles.
      This in uncertainty keeping is termed the "multiplier" of economic processes and non-economic progress.

    What, yet another interesting twist on the Gospel. I grew up thinking: "What is up with that Saul- he had to be struck blind before he followed the Lord?"
    Phffsha!! Only took me 3/4s of my life- and I still need to pray everyday and not hear. Re-read in the light of the Crucifixion and Resurrection. Christ is both Man and Devine- as would be his blood. Thought Mark was the Evangelist- wasted Catholics school. Beautiful- Thanks Bishop Barron.

    Paul was imprisoned for such a long time because he and his family were also Roman citizens, and therefore had the legal rights of a Roman citizen. He could be convicted, but he also had the right to appeals, which he used to the fullest extent and was able to walk freely and teach the word of God throughout Roman controlled territories until his final appeal was denied.
    He was then beheaded.

We will see God and will not have to believe anymore but only those who believed in Jesus during their life in earth will be able to live with God Heaven . God doesn’t condemn anybody but in our free will we can chose Him or reject Him . The choice is ours.

    How refreshing to hear the bishop speak of the historical character Paul! I agree that
    "none of us would be here without the conversion of St. Paul." ie christianity would not exist as it is today if there had been no conversion.
    The dramatic and rather theatrical "road to Damascus" conversion story, supposedly witnessed by many, resulting in Paul's blindness for 3 days and a complete change in Paul's agenda, is well documented in Acts. Yet Acts was written by we don't know whom, many years after the events described. The (anonymous) author was not a witness to the events...if he was he would have said so.
    What is more, surely Paul, who wrote hundreds of pages in the New Testament, must have documented the momentous occasion of his own conversion? No! The bishop implies this is so, yet I challenge anyone to find anywhere where Paul directly mentions it. Paul is silent about the supposed event that changed his life. This means it is highly likely that event never actually occurred.
    When one reads Paul's letters it is very obvious that there is almost nothing about a once living flesh and blood character named Jesus. Paul barely mentions what Jesus supposedly said or did. Nor is Paul, in his own letters, interested in the surviving family or followers of Jesus. (Galatians 2;1-14.) Paul even writes that although people once knew Jesus in the flesh we should no longer think of him that way, or words to that effect (2 Corinthians 5;16.) Paul was a man with his own agenda… he was hell bent on creating a new religion based on his own Christology, and the core beliefs and philosophy of a once living Jewish Jesus were totally irrelevant to him.
    The author of the book of Acts had a need to draw a connection between Paul's Christ and the once living recently departed Jesus. The synoptic gospels had to equated with Paul's Christ. This author was trying to manufacture a plausible story, one with historical roots, out of a theological mess of ideas that Paul had created. Hence the fictional road to Damascus conversion story in which the dead Jesus met Paul so as to become Paul's Christ.
    All of this takes some intellectual effort to appreciate. I hope this channel is interested in conversations about real history, and this comment won't be deleted.

    Why would Saul regard the early Christians as heretics or evil. They at worst would have been a sect within rabbinic Judaism which they practiced
    Paul created out of whole cloth a new belief system regarding the Messiah and his function just as he created out of whole cloth a new belief system regarding monotheism which was anathema to that of rabbinic Judaism which tolerates no divisions in the Godhead

    Saul trained in "rhetoric and philosophy" was not trained in chemistry, organic and inorganic, as is Pope Francis in his consecrated celibate marriage vowed to man in Christ, or in economics as was Colin Clark in his consecrated male female marriage vowed to God also trained in chemistry.
    Colin Clark with his son trained in both roles, joined in both identities successively male female then celibate on the death of his wife, transmitted the reference point of Mary at Lk 1:29-45 and Mt 1:24 to Pope Francis' consecrated celibate marriage in it keeping in uncertainty of his belief on 17 June 2021 its inseparability and qualitative equality with consecrated male female marriage in it ensuring in the case of Cardinal Becciu + 9 Vatican state citizens/employees embezzlements of his procreation role gift charity donations and simultaneously insuring in the case of the "Zan" Italian Parliament anti-homophobia bill unacceptable risk of fraud on his need of union of its identity.

    The Didache reports that self proclaimed apostles hustled people for money. Paul is a self proclaimed apostle. You know there is something off if someone rejected the church, but then starts to proclaim it’s truth and then says “trust me bro, this is from god”. What? God had to show up for Saul, but now we are required to “have faith” in his preaching?
    My guess is Paul noticed that the other apostles were able to live off their converts. Paul wanted a piece of the action, making tents is hard work. No, I would say Paul spent a lot of time in jail for larceny.
