  • This is the best definition of freedom I've ever heard.

  • Fr. Barron, I am a Catholic who struggles with doubts and this video got me thinking. Why was the law such a tendentious issue in the early Christian church? Why wouldn't Jesus have just stated clearly how things would work with the law and with gentiles, either before his death or after his resurrection? That way Paul and Peter wouldn't have had to argue it out. It seems like a basic issue today but apparently he did not make it clear.

  • @3rosesred Yes!

  • Fantastic. That marks the best description of how ordering one's life to God enhances freedom. Many talk about it but that is the very first time it actually resonated with me. Please keep it up. Someone make this guy a Bishop!

  • @GalwayRose1 --Can you narrow your question down to a specific topic?

  • Fr. Barron please give a great argument the difference between Lutheran and Catholicism? I know about the buying of Indulgences, that point I addressed, I also stated they only had 2 Sacraments, on & on. God Bless

    Pax Christi,Ave Maria +++

  • @jontv: I did mention I was going to REFRAIN from some of your questions as well as my own to you. I didn't want to get off subject & I didn't want to talk about this forever. I'll answer and I'll send u a note instead...

  • @all028 - I was thinking about our discussion and realized that you have never answered my question about what to do with people who DON'T want to reproduce--tell them to abstain from sex? You seem to be implying as much.

    So here's another question: do you really think everyone should be a parent? I'd say maybe the best thing for families is for certain people NOT to start them. And yet it seems pointlessly cruel to try to deny those people the key human experience of healthy sexuality.

  • @all028 - Well, that may be, but to stick to my point, I'd say there's a difference between thinking clearly about complexity and oversimplifying complexity to make it seem clear. I think your suggestion that we should preach sex as being primarily for procreation would be an oversimplification. There may be some benefits to be gained (assuming people would actually buy into that idea), but there would be unnecessary losses as well. Pleasure is a very good thing, in the right context.

  • @jontv: Sorry, omit my last sentence. What I meant to say is "The biggest problem we have today is the LACK OF clear thinking."
