"As one of the nation’s most recognizable bishops, Barron’s words (or lack thereof) send a signal to both the faithful and the broader public.
His silence risks suggesting that the plight of immigrant families simply doesn’t merit the same moral urgency as the other issues he’s been vocal about. This is especially troubling given that he sits on President Trump’s own commission on religious liberty."
-
"Barron’s silence is jarring given his stature. Here is a bishop known for media savvy and evangelization, even serving on President Trump’s own Religious Liberty Commission, yet he has said nothing about the ongoing deportation crackdowns — even as federal agents have been sweeping up parishioners in their raids."
-
"One of America’s most prominent Catholic leaders, Bishop Robert Barron, has been conspicuously silent about President Donald Trump’s aggressive ICE raids on immigrant families.
This silence stands in stark contrast to the clear moral call coming from Pope Leo XIV. Earlier this month, Pope Leo implored the U.S. Church to speak out 'with one voice' against the cruelty unfolding at the border."

I think #BishopBarron is smarter than this, but he's circling too close to approving such vile sin. Words hurt. He's also contradicting a homily he made a few weeks ago.

His ministry, #WordOnFire, actually sued #Commonweal magazine for an article which compares his comment to a #DonaldTrump one. He's trying to be like too many #priests nowadays, taking this weird impossible #objectivity and #bothsidesism. I like and respect #RobertBarron a lot and encourage him to do more, and speak out more.

@olav yeah, he was the only one if those that I wasn't aware of.
That Bishop Barron courting Jordan Peterson is also a new concerning wrinkle to me. He's not the CPAC deflocked bishop. I thought he was more the Mr. Rogers-type who was supposed so sell a gentler Catholicism.
I guess I'm going to have to watch some of this shit to see who is using whom. Over 1.5 million subribers and chasing views is it's own drug.
"He's like a John the Baptist character..."
