Bishop Robert Barron Speech at U.S. Congress


Response to the Call to Love and Promote the Good
It is Divine Service
It is a Personal Call!
"Why did God Call You into this Life?"
Your life is like a rose window in Notre Dame Cathedral, the center is Christ!
The first great spiritual path is to have a center. The second great spiritual path is to know that you are a sinner. The third great spiritual path is, purified by God's grace, realizing your life is not all about you: mission! service!
Positive law is grounded in natural law.  Natural law is grounded in the eternal law. That is just law. --St. Thomas Aquinas
"A just law is a man-made code which squares with the moral law and with the law of God."
The ground of the equality of men is that we are all created by the same God and Father.
Saint Thomas More made it to the top of the greasy pole of English political life! Henry VIII takes away from him wealth, power, pleasure and reputation.
"I die the king's good servant, but God's first!"
