      I was raised Catholic and continue to consider myself Catholic. I’ll admit there are bad actors but the best I can tell Bishop Baron is not one of them. From all I’ve seen he’s definitely a good example of what a Catholic should be.

This was intentionally released to fk up US election and for the Chinese to get protesters of Hong Kong streets because if Hong Kong goes so do commies in China. Win-win for commies and US dems....millions dead, billion+ with heart/organ issues. Godless people will always create hell.

      @bennoenickx411 2 года назад +5

      What exactly is confused in this world that is in urgent need of a remedial “truth?”
      In this video, Bishop Barren sidelines the good in diversity and equity by claiming they’re not “absolute values.” Even though it is not possible to think up a value that is purely absolute without submitting to a lacking rationalism. Then he goes on to say that bickering over equity can create tyranny, yet in the same breath he advocates for this Aristotelian transcendent third. A transcendent third which he admits means a submission of cultures under a certain homogeneity. For some reason he fails to see the same tyranny in that idea. He even describes social expression as a clamoring for rights and prerogatives, like requesting rights is somehow valueless. And then there’s the river with the banks metaphor, he caps it off by saying a society of differing values and choices slows the river and makes it “lazy.” He never acknowledges where the powerful river is flowing or why a diversity of culture makes it lazy instead of more vibrant. Finally,
      he goes on to recite platitudes on inclusion and its value. Then takes a complete 180, saying that some culturally congruent groups should exclude other people because they might taint the drive and picture of the exclusive society and so on and so forth. He even brings up America as an example group with values that must exclude immigrants. When exactly did America change from an accepting group of all cultures to a uniform body of drive and morals? The truth is that it never did. The only limit to the ideal of inclusion should be the harmful inclusion of exclusionary people. Anything other than that should be permissible for a healthy and modern society.

      Well, even though we distinguish between equality and equity in those strict definitions, it does not make any difference on the Bishop's point. Still, under that definition, equity is not an absolute value. Being equal in outcome is not good or right in all situations or all instances. The Bishop's point still stands correct, equity is not a fundamental or absolute value like love or justice.

  • @williamfinch9858
    @williamfinch9858 2 года назад +28

    Equity, Diversity, and Inclusivity Are Not Absolute Values, but faith, hope, and love are. If you love only those who love you, why should you get credit for that? Anyone can do that. And if you do good only to those who do good to you, why should you get credit? Even sinners do that. It’s important to treat your friends well, but it’s the way you treat your enemies that truly define you. And if you have enemies, that means you’ve stood up for something, as the saying goes. Which is why making enemies is as necessary as making friends.

    There is a distinction between unity and uniformity, the latter being an affront to the beauty different cultures have to offer, the former being a virtue that can maintain truth.

      The head of this Catholic Church provides no sanctuary of conscientious objection for its sons and daughters who are vehemently opposed to the forced and mandated imposition of these experimental vaccines at the expense of countless livelihoods and lives. Hierarchy have everything to gain financially and socially by putting their stamp of approval on this insanity. Informed consent was the ethical medical standard before this outbreak. We are being fed propaganda and driven like sheep.. Bishop Baron, why don' t you protect your flock from these wolves? Why ignore the biggest and most relevant issue in this very abstract talk? Can you dismiss conscientious dissent with a wave of the hand by ridiculing those who have sacrificed their reputations, jobs and livelihoods by calling them ignorant and uninformed, and " anti science." Many sacrificed dissenters are medical professionals who worked the hospitals and were once called heroes. They are being forced out of their jobs if they don' t submit and get " the jab. " Where is safe haven and sanctuary by saying "I'm Catholic"? You will be told that is not a valid religious exemption. Are there no real scientists informing the hierarchy? Are there too many financial inducements to keep your social services full to overflowing by the money people running this show?

    Thank you, Bishop Barron. The points you made were very well put forth. The tyranny of “everyone must be included” leads to all reason being lost and some have become positively militant in their criticism of any group that is not inclusive to them - no matter how extreme and unreasonable their demands may be.
    I especially liked how you said that they would be excepted into the Church on Christ’s terms and not on their own. And there lies a lot of the problem with some of these people today who are so militant about inclusivity. If we all went to their extremes, there would be no structured society left - only chaos.

    Thank you Bishop Barron for this excellent explanation which comes at the topic from the perspective of absolute traditional values. Some of those who are most passionate about equity, diversity and inclusion hold a different set of absolutes--lived experience, current problems, and appealing ideas. It's a rejection of the eternal and the traditional. We need to show them through Christ's love that there is a better way. Let them not see us as hypocrites because hypocrisy that they see in others is the fuel of their worldview. That's a sad way to live, but let us not continue to throw fuel on the fire.

    I think it’s essential to recognize the distinction between Equity and Equality.
    I will say that Equality is a state, whereas Equity is a status. Equality is opportunity, Equity is outcome. We should support and strive for Equality, an absolute value.

      Didn't he just say that equality isn't an absolute value?
      Duh😆

      We're equal as human beings, but we're not equal in our behaviour. Equality attempts to equalize all behaviour as if it's all the same. A criminal who murdered a child is not equal to a doctor who saves the life of a patient.

      @@Kitiwake And I agreed with him. My comment was to point out that you cannot conflate the terms Equality and Equity, which he did several times. Oversimplification: Equality good. Equity bad.

    An excellent articulation of the cuurent conundrum in which many societies in the west find themselves. Once there are no absolute and true values upon which to judge our actions, then chaos ensues. I dont know any society before which emphasized inclusivity as an absolute value. Even now it cannot be found because those countries which clamor "inclusivity is the way" exclude all those who don't take inclusivity as such. The wise in the worldly sense...

    Always erudite and honest!! Thank you. Oh how I wish the Lord had given me the ability to communicate as you do. But I'm good enough... and Bishop, to illustrate your point, you probably can't cook or sew as well as I can!!

    It’s an appalling situation, dear Bishop Barron (and you articulate it in such a wonderful way). It’s probably brought to us, among other things, by 60 years of TV, media and by the subconscious collective reaction to WWII. But it’s only going to get worse before it gets better.

    The ironic thing about this video is that at my Catholic parish, they have the word DIVERSITY literally etched in cast concrete in front of the church. At our last liturgical conference our diocesan directors main introduction was all about diversity and equity. Doesn't line up with what the bishop barron is saying. Thomas Sowell says "Diversity" in itself is nothing to celebrate. It's our ability to overcome the inherent problems that our diversity present to us that we should be celebrating. In other words, celebrate what we have in common that unites us. For us Christians it's God.

    Key words on there own with out definition mean little and we suffer a lot with that these days. Thankyou Bishop Baron for examining and explaining this in the Godly sense and pointing out who these words mean in our societal and Christian sense. God cannot be separated from our Society even when it's tried to be wrestled away from us as a community and replaced with a different Secular philosophy. Jesus is with us at every area of life if we call on him and become part of the body of Christ by Baptism, Confirmation and when he's calling is to that path
