I am a Confessional Lutheran watching an Eastern Orthodox icon carver talk with a Roman Catholic Bishop about patterns and meaning in Scripture. Perhaps there is hope yet for the unity of Christ's Church. Long live the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church!
@@NancyCahalanuniversal is an English translation of "catholic" (kata-holos; according to the whole) -- the Lutheran church from Germany had a history of saying "Christian" instead of "catholic" in the Creed until the 20th century. While it's not false to say that the church is christian, it's not what the original wording of the Creed said.
@@NancyCahalan In Greek, "Katholikos," or the English transliteration, catholic, means universal. In the creed, "catholic" means the universal church in uniformity with the apostolic deposit of faith.
Heaven, Earth, We: are a mystical country of patterns, and you can say we are citizens of this country. Genesis is the Leightmotif repeating again and again. Are Bishop Barron and Joathan Pageau offering a universe that is mathematically, fractally the stuff of this Country? Am I right in attempting to connect The Word, His word, all His words, contain, all the patterns and themes? Then it seems it is Fractal. And even if you take an element or word out of order, it still contains everything. Are we a part of the Holographic Universe? John 3:12 "If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things?" I am only an artist who tends to connect everything with everything, so when I found this truth in the bible: this is Heaven for me.
How beautiful to see an Orthodox speaking with a Catholic bishop with such depth and unity of understanding in an enlightening discussion, gives me hope for the future of the inevitable unity of the east and west. Deo gratias!
Not that surprising, very little separates the Orthodox and Catholics apart from historical animosity, ecclesiology, and linguistic specificity. Unlike the vast majority of "Protestants."
@johnericson7086 I totally agree, my comment was based more on the reality of how the Orthodox on RUclips are extremely anti western, prideful, and condescending.
Once I found Jonathan Pageau through Jordan Peterson, I never went back to Jordan Peterson. I love Peterson for promoting Jonathan Pageau who is a true teacher of the Catholic faith.
Notification set. There are millions of things i can watch, listen to and do this afternoon. Without a doubt I will be listening to this conversation. If anyone out there is not aware of Mr. Pageau, I will promise he is worth your attention.
Amazing conversation. As an Anglican priest I would LOVE to get my hands on Jonathan’s “symbolic world” New Testament commentary. Seriously. Not kidding.
Wow. What a fantastic discussion. Thanks, Bishop Barron, for delicately bringing up the Orthodox and Catholic issue of the papacy and thanks to Jonathan for his knowledgeable response of legitimate concerns, such as problems with how the Eastern rite Catholic churches were unfairly treated, and the temptation to pride from centralized authority. Yet you also brought out how the Church as bride needs to be unified to receive her Bridegroom. Also, I appreciate your bringing up how God can bring good out of the disunity as we face attacks on the Church from evil forces. God bless you both.
I am a former Baptist led to the Catholic Church by Ignatius of Antioch, Ireneaus of Lyon, Ambrose of Milan, Augustine of Hippo and Cyril of Jerusalem, among others.
Welcome home Brother, and no those guys do not support Orthodoxy despite what some orthobros say. Saint Ambrose taught the Filioque and was Saint Augustine's mentor, who also taught it. Saint Ignatius of Antioch clearly says not as Peter and Paul do I command you...and The Church of Rome holds the presidency in Love. He was martyred in Rome and thus can be seen as a Martyr of the Church of Rome. Saint Ireneaus was a priest in Lyon France, went to Rome during the Time of Pope Eleutherius was bishop of Rome (174-189) to get help from Rome to deal with the Montanist Heresy which had spread there. His statements on the authority of the Church of Rome are crystal clear. On another note, with all the textual variants in Biblical Manuscripts, Saint Irenaeus in Book 3 Chapter 10-5 clearly cites MK 16:19, which is the longer rendition of Mark's Gospel. Thus, we can say that the Greek NT in the West which would be part of the Latin Manuscript Tradition used for 1) the Old Latin Bible and then 2) Saint Jerome's Latin Vulgate, which has the longer rendition of Mark 16: 9-20 supports Saint Irenaeus while born in Smyrna in what is modern Turkey (Eastern Roman empire) in 130 AD but serving as priest and Bishop in France was citing the Greek Manuscripts of the NT that would be part of the Latin Manuscript Tradition vs. the others, such as the Alexandrian (Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus) and Byzantine Text Type which is the basis for Majority Text given the scripts developed then allowed for quicker and more efficient translations of the Sacred Scriptures.
@@matheusmotta1750 If your Bishop and Patriarch came to an agreement to be in communion with Rome again, (whatever the terms may be - neither of us can predict it), would you obey your Church elders?
Thank you so VERY much Bishop Barron for doing this interview. ❤❤❤❤❤ you ironically deepen my husbands Catholic faith and practice and opened my eyes to my need for Orthodoxy (Greek) May one day St-Peter and St-Andrew’s Churches unite all the apostolic successions again. I too am a Quebecker now living in Winnipeg and grew up in this same shadow of the Quiet Revolution (but Catholic charismatic).
This conversation has potentially altered and changed my life and understanding of just how complex and awesome (hallowed) our faith is. Thank you for bringing me to this channel Jonathan. Very inspiring to dig deeper into the fathers
How good bishop Barron is at talking with someone who doesn't entirely agrees with him. How well he avoids confrontation, how elegantly he refuses to take offence about the negative comments of his interlocutor and how sincere he is about it!
Thank you both for explaining the typology of the Sacred Scriptures. I can relate to your experiences growing up in the Catholic Church in the 1960s and 1970s. I am a cradle Catholic who lived through the early implementation of Vatican II (which is not the evil infiltration many people say it was), introduction of the birth control bill, and the impact of the sexual Revolution. I saw many Catholics leave the Church and priests and religious abandoned their vocations for the secular world. Lay people joined Pentecostal and Evangelical Churches because they felt they were not being fed by the Catholic Church, and I believe also over divorce and birth control. I think we were all weakly formed Christians and not properly catechized when we were young. I’m only now fully embracing the faith now later in life. This discussion will help others out there who grew up in similar circumstances. God bless you both!
I could not agree more, Jonathan. A book!!! As a catechist working with young children, I’ve often witnessed how deeply Mary’s story resonates with both children and their mothers. It will be especially impactful to include content that combines catechism teachings for mothers and children, centered on Mary’s presence. Such a resource could bridge generational faith journeys, fostering shared spiritual growth.
Great to hear the best of the best being true to themselves and sharing for all . Happy 2025 to everyone, discipline and forgiveness this year, rejoice by choice
I'm following his works, and very fond of his understanding about fairy tales and the bible. Here, watching from Indonesia 🇮🇩 pray for us, Bishop Barron 💖
Was not familiar with Pageau before this, just reading up on him a bit I'm sure this talk finds itself in my life by no accident, thanks for creating these opportunities!
Jonathan is awesome for laying out the patterns of Christendom. And the Symboligy behind it. B-b-but like most Orthodox he has trouble with things like Fatima, Guadeloupe and Purgatory and post shism Catholic Saints in General. There is a goofy childlike side to Christendom Catholicism captures that better than Orthodoxy. Although Catholicism is a very fast wide world with very different views..
My two biggest living heroes in the Kingdom 🥹. Praise you Blessed Trinity for the gift of these two men. We thank you and stand in awe of your goodness and love for creating creatures who can see with such light. Thank you Lord for forming them so wonderfully!
This is my 3rd viewing of this podcast & I still learn something worthwhile! I agree w/Mr. Pageau, a point he made of his own background, one that I appreciate SO greatly of my own life, my learning & reading the BIBLE during my growing up years. Whether correct or misunderstood, during the first years of entering the Catholic tradition, I thought that I had to deny my love of Scripture. It was as if I lost my rudder. One of the reasons that I so appreciate Bishop Barron, his spirituality, knowledge, & teaching, is his relating Biblical Scripture w/the Catholic liturgy & traditions. It is then like "coming home" in faith. It will be interesting to see some of Mr. Pageau's art work. Also, how does the Eastern Orthodox tradition see the Blessed Sacrament in comparison to Transubstantiation of the Roman Catholic tradition.
Thank you both for modeling how two “opposed” views or groups can do so in a helpful way and not harm the other. Much like a thumb works with the fingers to grasp, I think your different views are both required to fully grasp the truth of the story we are all in.
Man, I am so slow on the uptake! I’ve noticed before what they are talking about, but never so much as after my conversion to Catholicism. It took me 63 years, but hey, better late than never!😅
Bishop! If Jonathan Pageau writes a book on the New Testament, I think you should be a co-author! Bringing some of the western thoughts into it! I would pay so much money for that book!!!
As a cradle Catholic, though one without the most rigorous Bible education, I find myself in awe of the way that Scripture, when taken as a narrative, points forward, to then point backward, to then point all the way forward again. It gives us the template of the Old Testament stories, which prophesy the Messiah and are fulfilled in Him; and that fulfillment, which is grounded in real history, then shows us the perfectly designed nature of the stories and histories that came before, in the most convincing way; and THEN they find their way to us and point to the ways we can interpret the patterns of the Scripture in our modern world. The depth in the construction of the Bible, I'm becoming more certain, might be one of the most powerful proofs for the veracity of all its teachings and tellings.
I very much appreciate this chat. I love scholars like James Tabor, Bart Ehrman, Dan McClellan, Elaine Pagels, Robyn Walsh, Jason Staples, Justin Sledge; and other doctors and intellectuals like Jordan Peterson, Alex O'Connor, Paulogia, and others. Having said that, I do love what Mr Pageau says early on; that it doesn't have to be either a Fundamentalist or Liberal or academic belief or mode. It doesn't even have to be on any kind of spectrum between those points. I feel the same. I appreciate all the scholarly work going into the texts, but my faith is not dictated by scholarship. Nor is my faith dictated by fundamentalism.
I will listen to this talk three or four times again. Very inspiring . Always love Bishop Barren and Jonathan for their wonderful work to bring light to the world (and Jordan Peterson)
Lord Jesus only you can help carry the burdens I face as a single parent. Heavenly Father please provide me with the wisdom to make the right decisions for my children, and the courage to face each day with optimism. Lord because I continue to struggle with providing for my boys both have special needs. Heavenly Father as I struggle to buy groceries and as I struggle to pay rent grant me strength.💕💕
@hisservant1129 Understand, but if you (like me, and I fail more than I'd like) would like to be more tryinh not to assume, easy as it is to, God help us 🙏 Let's simply share helpful beautiful words of wisdom links instead perhaps?. Which Bishop Barron podcasts do you love? I'd personally love suggestions as I might have missed a precious one (the algorithms block some I've found so not all enter my feed).
Really appreciate deeply the conversation. Thank you. Love the interfaces of scriptural patterns of story, symbol and the liturgy clarity as related. Tim Mackie of The Bible Project so aptly uses “hyperlinks” to describe these patterns. Appreciate context and history and church fathers looped in. But ever so cautious regards the global Catholic Church with infallible papacy. Don’t see this in scripture. Christ and the church most certainly and the church in its multiplicity of expressions.
I grew up in rural Ireland. In the 1930s when the people were poor, they built a rather small church up on a hill. In the 1990s, early 2000s people started building their own houses, some of the houses very large and bigger than the Church. People still attend that Church today with the exception of the people who live in the houses that are larger than the Church.
It's interesting to think about how, in a world of billions, individuals can influence how events develop - just through their ideas. Jordan Peterson and Jonathan Pageau (and Bishop Barron) have genuinely changed many lives and the trajectory of the whole world by spending the last few years talking online.
As a Latter-day Saint, my tradition is typically brushed off as heresy. However, as I listen to this discussion about Adam as Priest in Eden, I hear what I have been taught at Church and in our Temples. Thank for this wonderful convo, that is blessing even me. I hope that one day we can all commune and dialogue together as fellow Christians.
I’m a former Latter Day Saint who is now Eastern Orthodox. I invite you to attend a Divine Liturgy at a local parish. There you will see what LDS temples try but in my opinion fail to do: unite heaven and earth at the alter. You should also ask yourself if what happens in LDS temples is a continuation of what was done in the Tabernacle or in Solomon’s temple or if the Divine Liturgy is a closer connection instead. I personally think that if one of the original Apostles where to attend a Divine Liturgy or a temple session, they would be confused by the latter and find true worship in the former. That would have to do with what is a continuation of Old Testament to New Testament revelation and does it carry forward today instead of having Masonic origins which are medieval instead.
Glad you were able to take something away from it! While there are some beautiful aspects of the LDS religion, like the sense of community and dedication to evangelization and charity, respectfully, LDS are not Christians. Having said that, we hope you see the light one day and come to know the true Christ!
I've met many LDS missionary young men. Well raised lads, and I'm sure the young ladies are the same. Denial of the triune nature of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit will always be the separator between a Christian and someone who is not. We will not forget the blood of the holy martyrs who fought for and died to protect this truth. You are free to worship as you see fit, but there will never be a compromise on this doctrine.
As someone with a PhD in the history of science, I would describe the method that Bishop Baron encountered in seminary as the historical critical myopic theory.
I think this is where so many difficulties arise between Protestants and Catholics. Catholics view the Bible as a whole. It contains patterns and types and major overarching themes. One cannot read parts of the Bible and base one's understanding of Judeo-Christianity on those specific parts, or verses or passages. Although individual Scripture passages are important, without an understanding of the Whole, one can be led in all sorts of directions if one focuses mearly on the parts. We can see this in the constant division occuring in Protestantism. We see individuals or groups focusing in on specific passages or words or verses without seeing these passages or words or verses in the grand context of Scripture and God's revelation of Himself and Who He is, and who we are, through it. Mary is one glaring example of this. Catholics look at Mary through the eyes of Scripture as a whole, and through themes and types and patterns, not necessarily through individual verses (although there are obvious Marian passages). Luke clearly sees Mary as the 'Ark of the New Covenant'. Much of Marian doctrine comes from this understanding of Mary, and of her as being 'the New Eve' and the 'Queen Mother' of the Davidic Kingdom, who was given a throne next to the King. In understanding Mary as the 'type' of the Ark of the Covenant, as the Davidic 'Queen Mother', as the 'New Eve', we come to a fuller understanding of Mary, but more importantly of her Son.
Do you obey the Bible and submit to any Church elders? Hebrews 13:17 ESV 17 *Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls,* as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you. 1 Peter 5:5 ESV 5 *Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders.* Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
Greetings from Norway. As a catholic i also feel much less educated in the bible. Very much to learn from protestants knowing well the Bible. I have a story though - a fellow parisher who had converted into Catholicism told me that before as Protestant he talked much about God and now he talked to God..
Protestantism is not a thing. It's a catch all term. I really hate it. Anglicans and confessional Methodists relate far more to Catholics than they do to most Baptists.
What’s most frustrating with today is the loss of respect for the unknown, mysterious, and possibly the supernatural. The more technologically and material advanced we get, the less we search for the real wonders and questions of life. Love the description of how major cities now have towering business buildings and expensive condos. The path seems to lead to a slow death and overloading of the empty material goods of the world. We connect less and less with people and continue to simply look within ourselves for value instead of looking up to our Creator
@@BrianBenson-rc9muNo. There is a lot of homilies by BBa explaining all the isms, as better known as the high thinkers, like Karl Marx, who everyone recognizes that name. But there are other important thinkers. I will try to find those homilies, so that you will be free from, this gross misunderstanding of Vatican 2. I will do my best to find those videos for you. It is IMPORTANT for me to help you. THESE are videos from Bishop Barron's homilies. Please don't close the door on him, without giving him a chance, that it's not Vatican 2, to blame. I am a new convert, and I have no problem with it. If you want to worship with the Latin mass, it's fine, like Spanish people want to worship in Spanish. It will be a stumbling block to cut off the different languages, like Spanish worshippers, BECAUSE... It has to be in Latin. Jesus spoke Aramian. There is no such scripture that we have to worship in Aramian.
I see more unity and commonality in our thoughts and perspectives here, than previously imagined, relating to right relationship to God and to each other! TY for this enlightening dialog.
Thank you both! Ive been watching since 2015! Love your works, love the conversation and have learned so much over this past 10 years🌹I am a Catholic who practices both eastern and western rite!🌹
Great and IMPORTANT interview!!! May I suggest a poem that I was inspired to write more than a dozen years ago. Drawn and Quartered by Mike Rizzio Four chambers, but one purpose, Four Gospels live to tell, A Sacred Heart, so wounded, A lance launched straight from hell. Our brokenness, bloodletting, True Mystics judged insane, King Science, throne ascending, To deaden all our pain. Four riders, on four horses, Steeds rearing for a treat, Our corpse, nears rigor mortis, For Art not Science meet. But wait...a ray of His Glorious Sonshine... One part-sacred theology, One part-mystic sight, One part-true science, One part-creative light. ...and if ever two lungs breathed forth, East-West, air that is sweet, Aloft they'll send His Body, Heartbeat, Heartbeat, Heartbeat.
These interchangeable notions (the cosmos being a macrocosm of man, and man being a microcosm of the cosmos) reminds me of those images comparing similarities between the human eye or cells and galaxies and energies of the universe.
I'm trying to make the decision of what church I should be baptized and commune in, and talks like this don't help. I love both churches in their way...
And at the end, speaking of Jonah and the resurrection of Christ, I think of the Sistine Chapel image of Jonah coming out of the "fish" directly over the Last Judgment fresco of the Risen Jesus.

Man, I am so slow on the uptake! I’ve noticed before what they are talking about, but never so much as after my conversion to Catholicism. It took me 63 years, but hey, better late than never!😅
Welcome home, friend!
Next move : ORTHODOXY!
@@boldcut5163nah don’t wanna leave Christ’s church
Bishop! If Jonathan Pageau writes a book on the New Testament, I think you should be a co-author! Bringing some of the western thoughts into it! I would pay so much money for that book!!!
As a cradle Catholic, though one without the most rigorous Bible education, I find myself in awe of the way that Scripture, when taken as a narrative, points forward, to then point backward, to then point all the way forward again. It gives us the template of the Old Testament stories, which prophesy the Messiah and are fulfilled in Him; and that fulfillment, which is grounded in real history, then shows us the perfectly designed nature of the stories and histories that came before, in the most convincing way; and THEN they find their way to us and point to the ways we can interpret the patterns of the Scripture in our modern world. The depth in the construction of the Bible, I'm becoming more certain, might be one of the most powerful proofs for the veracity of all its teachings and tellings.
Peterson helped bring me back to Christ and Pageau helped show me Orthodoxy where i can struggle Upward to to give my life to Christ 🙏🏻
I love this,- so grateful 🙏
I very much appreciate this chat.
I love scholars like James Tabor, Bart Ehrman, Dan McClellan, Elaine Pagels, Robyn Walsh, Jason Staples, Justin Sledge; and other doctors and intellectuals like Jordan Peterson, Alex O'Connor, Paulogia, and others.
Having said that, I do love what Mr Pageau says early on; that it doesn't have to be either a Fundamentalist or Liberal or academic belief or mode.
It doesn't even have to be on any kind of spectrum between those points.
I feel the same. I appreciate all the scholarly work going into the texts, but my faith is not dictated by scholarship. Nor is my faith dictated by fundamentalism.
This is exacltly what i was looking for. The company of these to gentlemens and peace in this fragmented society
I will listen to this talk three or four times again. Very inspiring . Always love Bishop Barren and Jonathan for their wonderful work to bring light to the world (and Jordan Peterson)
Most interesting. Thank you both.
I love this. Thank you Bishop Robert Barron and Mr. Jonathan Pageau. God bless you always.
the soul glues consciousness to your body
What a beautiful conversation. So happy to see you both together with such an obvious shared respect for each other.
Really appreciate this discussion 🙏
Lord Jesus only you can help carry the burdens I face as a single parent. Heavenly Father please provide me with the wisdom to make the right decisions for my children, and the courage to face each day with optimism. Lord because I continue to struggle with providing for my boys both have special needs. Heavenly Father as I struggle to buy groceries and as I struggle to pay rent grant me strength.💕💕
This was wonderful. Very good to see Bishop Barron having a free flowing conversation instead of beautifully packaged sermons. This was very valuable.
He has done many more, with Jordan Peterson and others. Try a youtube search, you'll enjoy them. Bless you x
You must not watch Bishop Barron very much…
@hisservant1129 Understand, but if you (like me, and I fail more than I'd like) would like to be more tryinh not to assume, easy as it is to, God help us 🙏 Let's simply share helpful beautiful words of wisdom links instead perhaps?. Which Bishop Barron podcasts do you love? I'd personally love suggestions as I might have missed a precious one (the algorithms block some I've found so not all enter my feed).
Mind officially blown
The best duo
Really appreciate deeply the conversation. Thank you. Love the interfaces of scriptural patterns of story, symbol and the liturgy clarity as related. Tim Mackie of The Bible Project so aptly uses “hyperlinks” to describe these patterns. Appreciate context and history and church fathers looped in. But ever so cautious regards the global Catholic Church with infallible papacy. Don’t see this in scripture. Christ and the church most certainly and the church in its multiplicity of expressions.
This conversation was amazing 🙏. Thank you both so much for posting it
I grew up in rural Ireland. In the 1930s when the people were poor, they built a rather small church up on a hill. In the 1990s, early 2000s people started building their own houses, some of the houses very large and bigger than the Church. People still attend that Church today with the exception of the people who live in the houses that are larger than the Church.
Time for christianity to reclaim architecture I think
Lord I need you continue to stand by me in Jesus name Amen
So cool…. The patterns….ong love it!!
Please continue this conversation!
Greetings from Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia! 🇲🇾🙏🏻🕊️
I hope you have him on again. I really enjoyed the conversation. Thank you.
Two excellent people in conversation. Wonderful!
It's interesting to think about how, in a world of billions, individuals can influence how events develop - just through their ideas. Jordan Peterson and Jonathan Pageau (and Bishop Barron) have genuinely changed many lives and the trajectory of the whole world by spending the last few years talking online.
Wow. A lot to digest. What a wonderful conversation.
Amazing discussion!
2 best in the game
it has so much to offer for the culture from doctrine and the fathers
So Enjoyable to listen to these two wise men. thank you
Merry Christmas Eve 🙏🤗🇺🇸🌏
As a Latter-day Saint, my tradition is typically brushed off as heresy. However, as I listen to this discussion about Adam as Priest in Eden, I hear what I have been taught at Church and in our Temples.
Thank for this wonderful convo, that is blessing even me. I hope that one day we can all commune and dialogue together as fellow Christians.
I’m a former Latter Day Saint who is now Eastern Orthodox. I invite you to attend a Divine Liturgy at a local parish. There you will see what LDS temples try but in my opinion fail to do: unite heaven and earth at the alter. You should also ask yourself if what happens in LDS temples is a continuation of what was done in the Tabernacle or in Solomon’s temple or if the Divine Liturgy is a closer connection instead. I personally think that if one of the original Apostles where to attend a Divine Liturgy or a temple session, they would be confused by the latter and find true worship in the former. That would have to do with what is a continuation of Old Testament to New Testament revelation and does it carry forward today instead of having Masonic origins which are medieval instead.
Glad you were able to take something away from it! While there are some beautiful aspects of the LDS religion, like the sense of community and dedication to evangelization and charity, respectfully, LDS are not Christians. Having said that, we hope you see the light one day and come to know the true Christ!
We disagree on fundamental things but I love the Mormon focus on family and community. Beautiful people.
I've met many LDS missionary young men. Well raised lads, and I'm sure the young ladies are the same.
Denial of the triune nature of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit will always be the separator between a Christian and someone who is not. We will not forget the blood of the holy martyrs who fought for and died to protect this truth. You are free to worship as you see fit, but there will never be a compromise on this doctrine.
Phenomenal conversation. Thank you both!
Please put these conversations on the podcast
As someone with a PhD in the history of science, I would describe the method that Bishop Baron encountered in seminary as the historical critical myopic theory.
Brilliant. What a joy a collaborative book on this subject would be. Synthesizing the fathers and this conversation.
Exploring beautiful ideas in a beautiful way. On the front foot 😌. Thank you both 🙏 .
I think this is where so many difficulties arise between Protestants and Catholics. Catholics view the Bible as a whole. It contains patterns and types and major overarching themes. One cannot read parts of the Bible and base one's understanding of Judeo-Christianity on those specific parts, or verses or passages.
Although individual Scripture passages are important, without an understanding of the Whole, one can be led in all sorts of directions if one focuses mearly on the parts. We can see this in the constant division occuring in Protestantism. We see individuals or groups focusing in on specific passages or words or verses without seeing these passages or words or verses in the grand context of Scripture and God's revelation of Himself and Who He is, and who we are, through it.
Mary is one glaring example of this. Catholics look at Mary through the eyes of Scripture as a whole, and through themes and types and patterns, not necessarily through individual verses (although there are obvious Marian passages). Luke clearly sees Mary as the 'Ark of the New Covenant'. Much of Marian doctrine comes from this understanding of Mary, and of her as being 'the New Eve' and the 'Queen Mother' of the Davidic Kingdom, who was given a throne next to the King. In understanding Mary as the 'type' of the Ark of the Covenant, as the Davidic 'Queen Mother', as the 'New Eve', we come to a fuller understanding of Mary, but more importantly of her Son.
Imaginary plenitude 🙂
Both of these men are Great gifts to the Faith.
Great interview!!
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! I’m so blessed
I love this discussion, done so well. I will have to go through it again.
We have One who gathers and it is JESUS!!!
So why have a pastor?
Amen! I love the way Jonathan explicates this
💀
Do you obey the Bible and submit to any Church elders?
Hebrews 13:17 ESV
17 *Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls,* as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.
1 Peter 5:5 ESV
5 *Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders.* Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
Greetings from Norway. As a catholic i also feel much less educated in the bible. Very much to learn from protestants knowing well the Bible. I have a story though - a fellow parisher who had converted into Catholicism told me that before as Protestant he talked much about God and now he talked to God..
“I m a Catholic not a Protestant, I don’t know where that came from in the Bible. - Fr. Ripperger
Protestantism is not a thing. It's a catch all term. I really hate it. Anglicans and confessional Methodists relate far more to Catholics than they do to most Baptists.
Oh my goodness, I'm so glad I stumbled on to this!
What’s most frustrating with today is the loss of respect for the unknown, mysterious, and possibly the supernatural. The more technologically and material advanced we get, the less we search for the real wonders and questions of life. Love the description of how major cities now have towering business buildings and expensive condos. The path seems to lead to a slow death and overloading of the empty material goods of the world. We connect less and less with people and continue to simply look within ourselves for value instead of looking up to our Creator
@@BrianBenson-rc9muNo. There is a lot of homilies by BBa explaining all the isms, as better known as the high thinkers, like Karl Marx, who everyone recognizes that name. But there are other important thinkers. I will try to find those homilies, so that you will be free from, this gross misunderstanding of Vatican 2. I will do my best to find those videos for you. It is IMPORTANT for me to help you. THESE are videos from Bishop Barron's homilies. Please don't close the door on him, without giving him a chance, that it's not Vatican 2, to blame. I am a new convert, and I have no problem with it.
If you want to worship with the Latin mass, it's fine, like Spanish people want to worship in Spanish. It will be a stumbling block to cut off the different languages, like Spanish worshippers, BECAUSE...
It has to be in Latin. Jesus spoke Aramian. There is no such scripture that we have to worship in Aramian.
I see more unity and commonality in our thoughts and perspectives here, than previously imagined, relating to right relationship to God and to each other! TY for this enlightening dialog.
God bless Bishop Barron and Jonathan Pageau for this amazing and beautiful talk!
Thank you both! Ive been watching since 2015! Love your works, love the conversation and have learned so much over this past 10 years🌹I am a Catholic who practices both eastern and western rite!🌹
Great and IMPORTANT interview!!!
May I suggest a poem that I was inspired to write more than a dozen years ago.
Drawn and Quartered
by Mike Rizzio
Four chambers, but one purpose,
Four Gospels live to tell,
A Sacred Heart, so wounded,
A lance launched straight from hell.
Our brokenness, bloodletting,
True Mystics judged insane,
King Science, throne ascending,
To deaden all our pain.
Four riders, on four horses,
Steeds rearing for a treat,
Our corpse, nears rigor mortis,
For Art not Science meet.
But wait...a ray of His Glorious Sonshine...
One part-sacred theology,
One part-mystic sight,
One part-true science,
One part-creative light.
...and if ever two lungs breathed forth,
East-West, air that is sweet,
Aloft they'll send His Body,
Heartbeat, Heartbeat, Heartbeat.
These interchangeable notions (the cosmos being a macrocosm of man, and man being a microcosm of the cosmos) reminds me of those images comparing similarities between the human eye or cells and galaxies and energies of the universe.
Assistindo do Brasil 🇧🇷 🙏 Wonderfull talk!
I'm trying to make the decision of what church I should be baptized and commune in, and talks like this don't help. I love both churches in their way...
Loved it! Thank God for these servants of God!
Definitely a book is necessary
And at the end, speaking of Jonah and the resurrection of Christ, I think of the Sistine Chapel image of Jonah coming out of the "fish" directly over the Last Judgment fresco of the Risen Jesus.
