Father, have you considered talking about Interstellar, the new movie by Christopher Nolan? It exposes a number of Christian themes, though I'm unsure if Nolan was conscious of this, and is quite frankly one of the finest films I've seen in years. It seems to elegantly with themes such as Stewardship of Creation, Ordering the Garden, and the transcendent third form of unselfish love you talk about in many of your videos, along with the promotion of the Priestly Office (sacrifice) and an eloquent Lazurus motif about self-absorption leading to death. It would be an excellent chance to articulate the practical values espoused by the church.

Father Baron: I always enjoy your enlightening monologues. Some of the parables are confusing. One really wants to believe that Christ is almost forcing us to work hard in order to get us to instill the self discipline necessary to understanding the nuances of God's intentions. Yet, some parables are so provocative (like His command to eat His flesh) that it almost seems as is God is daring us to hang on, to test our resolve, almost as though saying: "If you can stick with this, you are ready for the higher truths, but, first, you must overcome a limitation." God's love for us is unshakeable, eternal, and ever present. I know this, from having spent 45 years of my life rejecting God, yet His voice never truly left me. God's salvation for us is free, but has He ever claimed it would be necessarily simple, that only one stage of growth is necessary. It would not seem so. Plow through the tough ones to get to the nectar within.

The Jews treat eating Christ's body and blood metaphorically; protestants treat it symbolically and catholics treat literally.Yes Christ meant it literally. This will indicate if you are a worthy disciple. Judas did not believe at the last supper and walked away. Don't walk away believe then you will see the truth.

Hello Father, I am a Theology teacher at a Catholic high school in Elmhurst, IL. After studying Genesis and learning that Eden represents the pre-Fall perfection of God's creation, a very intelligent and good-hearted student asked how we can reconcile the theory of evolution with the idea that creation was perfect before the Fall. The assumption was that if the world evolved in the way the theory is proposed, then that would involve violence and death (part of natural life, as we know it, on earth). I am deeply interested in hearing how we can approach this question as Catholics. I know you are busy, but if you have the chance to consider this question in a future video or blog post, it would be helpful for me and my future students. P.S.: In the moment, I told him that that is a question for people who are both committed Catholics and good scientists to look into and figure out...that maybe he would be investigating the question someday. Your videos have had such an impact on my development as a theologian and a teacher. Thank you and God bless! Sincerely, Joe

Creation and evolution do not belong in the same conversation. One glorifies the creator of our world and the other glorifies satan. We cannot combine the two. Either you believe the word of God 100% or not. Remember Christ says in revelation, because you are neither hot or cold I will spit you from my mouth. Those who hold consider evolution while claiming to be of the faith are deceiving themselves and are luke warm.

@@christiandpaul631 the issue with evolution is that it is just a theory. It is created in direct contention of Christianity (creation). The creation story was written thousands of years before the theory of evolution. The problem with evolution is that there has been no documentation to support the theory. No one has witnessed evolution. The creation story paints a different picture. The earth is immovable and the sun/moon revolve inside the firmament. The Catholic Nicolaus Copernicus introduced the Heliocentric theory. Where the Sun is the center and the earth and moon revolve around it. In essence creating sun worship. Evolution and the Heliocentric model both go against the bible. You cannot believe both.

Anthony Fisher I don’t think you understand the Bible is a living breathing document. First, it started as a Hebrew account, written right to left, with no chapters, verses and vowels, but today it is now in multiple languages, written left to right, with chapters and verses. I doubt highly that one person living 3000 years ago is still living today to edit or put out updated version of a “fictional story.” Second, the Bible is not just an ethical, moral, and spiritual guide book, it is a astrology, astronomy, biology, chemistry, math, gps coordinator, and color book, to say the least. For example, the golden ration is just Genesis 1:6-1:8, pi is Exodus 3:14, Mark 14:13 and Luke 22:10 are about the constellation Aquarius, as waterbearer and house translate to these two words.We all carry God’s return date on our hands- February 10, as after 40 days and 40 nights, 41st day is what? If God is the word, how does make the written word, using what? Jesus’ first miracle is also his prophecy for the identity, time, date, birth order and name of the son of man. 2-10. I know this because I am the son of man, and you shall know I am lord.

I think Dawkins and ilk are responding to biblical literalists more than Catholicism or more nuanced understanding of the bible. There is a significant movement in the USA of evangelical literalists who reject science and and wish to teach their beliefs in place of science and history. This is clearly a threat to a secular way of life that many people in the USA lead, and he is defending secularism against this threat. He also thinks that all religious belief could lead to similar threats against secularism, but he's a bit paranoid there. As an atheist, I think religious and secular lives should coexist with mutual respect and dialog. There is no need for these "culture wars" or worldview conflicts. It's fine to disagree.

Alejandro Martin TLDR: I don't believe in God because I find the evidence insufficient. Why? That's a big claim to base on some stories you heard and read. Lets see some science! I think it's pretty easy to show that a literal interpretation of the Bible is highly problematic, and I don't think most of it was written literally. Jesus himself was known for speaking in parables, clearly drawing on a tradition of figurative speaking. To interpret his words, the texts he references, and the gospels written about his life literally is clearly off the mark. Catholicism has a long history of trying to understand the meaning behind the words. Admittedly there are clear examples of mistakes, but that's expected. Then, Martin Luther. He said you can read and understand The Bible yourself, you don't need the church to read it for you. He even had it printed in common languages. Heresy, I know. But now anybody can grab a copy, open it up, and decide for themselves what they think it means. Lots of people figure "Hey, this is the Word of the Lord. Seems like he would give it to us strait, right? If not, how can I know what it means." So anyway, Dawkins often encounters these folk who are upset about what he says. He addresses them most and they are the ones who respond most. They are the ones he knows best and sees most, so they are the ones he talks about. Why don't I believe in God? When I was young I was really into science, still am actually. Space, dinosaurs, loved it. But Santa Claws, how could he visit billions of houses in one night? And there were other things that didn't add up. I was about 4.5 or 5 when I stopped believing in Santa. Then I heard about people who didn't believe in God. This was a big deal to me, if there are people who don't believe in God, than that means the matter isn't settled. I wanted to know. At age 7 I had done a lot of thinking about it and asking people about weather or not they believed, I wasn't sure. A teacher even mentioned Pascal's Wager to me, though didn't mention it was called that. I decided that since it was so up in the air I would decide for myself what was true. This lead me to a strange place where I believed I had magical powers, like telekinesis. When I failed to make them work, I would figure I didn't try hard enough. One day I tried super hard and it didn't work. I decided to consider why and I realized that I had been lieing to myself, I was telling myself this was real when I kinda knew it wasn't. I vowed never to lie to myself again and seek the truth, whatever it may be. "What about God then?" I asked myself at the age of 9. "Well" I figured, "there are so many possible ways the universe might be, and God being a part of that seemed like only one of them." So I figured that I might as well assume He's not real. And indeed, He might be real, but absent any evidence, it's best to assume not, much as we can safely assume pixies and unicorns aren't real. Well what about all those great philosophical arguments? Eh, they fail to prove anything. Whatever created the world must be God? Alright, so accumulating material from dead stars and clouds of gas are God? No no, whatever created the universe. Well I sure don't know what that is, why would you call it God? Oh if the word "God" must refer to something then it must refer to something that is God, so if "God" has any meaning at, all then it means God is real. When exactly did you plan to demonstrate that the word "God" does indeed actually refer to this thing again? No? Yeah, by our modern standards these arguments are pretty awful. These days we expect you people to demonstrate that they know things. If you know God is real, lets test your idea. God's untestable? Well, then you haven't demonstrated that he is real. Show me some good evidence, then I will believe you. The evidence I have been presented so far is not good enough for me. Would the same evidence convince you If I were talking about Krishna and referencing Vedas? I think we can agree that the evidence itself is insufficient. Some people are happy to believe things based on things other than evidence. Personal experience in many cases. I encourage people to make evidence based beliefs and decisions, it works out better overall.

By the wedding garment in the parable is represented the pure, spotless character which Christ's true followers will possess. To the church it is given "that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white," "not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing." Revelation 19:8; Ephesians 5:27. The fine linen, says the Scripture, "is the righteousness of saints." Revelation 19:8. It is the righteousness of Christ, His own unblemished character, that through faith is imparted to all who receive Him as their personal Saviour. The white robe of innocence was worn by our first parents when they were placed by God in holy Eden. They lived in perfect conformity to the will of God. All the strength of their affections was given to their heavenly Father. A beautiful soft light, the light of God, enshrouded the holy pair. This robe of light was a symbol of their spiritual garments of heavenly innocence. Had they remained true to God it would ever have continued to enshroud them. But when sin entered, they severed their connection with God, and the light that had encircled them departed. Naked and ashamed, they tried to supply the place of the heavenly garments by sewing together fig leaves for a covering. This is what the transgressors of God's law have done ever since the day of Adam and Eve's disobedience. They have sewed together fig leaves to cover the nakedness caused by transgression. They have worn the garments of their own devising, by works of their own they have tried to cover their sins, and make themselves acceptable with God. But this they can never do. Nothing can man devise to supply the place of his lost robe of innocence. No fig-leaf garment, no worldly citizen dress, can be worn by those who sit down with Christ and angels at the marriage supper of the Lamb. Only the covering which Christ Himself has provided can make us meet to appear in God's presence. This covering, the robe of His own righteousness, Christ will put upon every repenting, believing soul. "I counsel thee," He says, "to buy of Me ... white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear." Revelation 3:18. This robe, woven in the loom of heaven, has in it not one thread of human devising. Christ in His humanity wrought out a perfect character, and this character He offers to impart to us. "All our righteousnesses are as filthy rags." Isaiah 64:6. Everything that we of ourselves can do is defiled by sin. But the Son of God "was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin." Sin is defined to be "the transgression of the law." 1 John 3:5, 4. But Christ was obedient to every requirement of the law. He said of Himself, "I delight to do Thy will, O My God; yea, Thy law is within My heart." Psalm 40:8. When on earth, He said to His disciples, "I have kept My Father's commandments." John 15:10. By His perfect obedience He has made it possible for every human being to obey God's commandments. When we submit ourselves to Christ, the heart is united with His heart, the will is merged in His will, the mind becomes one with His mind, the thoughts are brought into captivity to Him; we live His life. This is what it means to be clothed with the garment of His righteousness. Then as the Lord looks upon us He sees, not the fig-leaf garment, not the nakedness and deformity of sin, but His own robe of righteousness, which is perfect obedience to the law of Jehovah. -Christ Object Lesson 310.3 - COL 311.4

Our Lord had sent out the twelve and afterward the seventy, proclaiming that the kingdom of God was at hand, and calling upon men to repent and believe the gospel. But the call was not heeded. Those who are bidden to the feast did not come. The servants were sent out later to say, "Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage." This was the message borne to the Jewish nation after the crucifixion of Christ; but the nation that claimed to be God's peculiar people rejected the gospel brought to them in the power of the Holy Spirit. Many did this in the most scornful manner. Others were so exasperated by the offer of salvation, the offer of pardon for rejecting the Lord of glory, that they turned upon the bearers of the message. There was "a great persecution." Acts 8:1. Many both of men and women were thrust into prison, and some of the Lord's messengers, as Stephen and James, were put to death. Thus the Jewish people sealed their rejection of God's mercy. The result was foretold by Christ in the parable. The king "sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city." The judgment pronounced came upon the Jews in the destruction of Jerusalem and the scattering of the nation. The third call to the feast represents the giving of the gospel to the Gentiles. The king said, "The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage." COL 308.2 - COL 309.1

Is it possible that the murder of the messengers represents the crucifixion of Jesus?

I guess we'll never know since the bible is rarely clear on what to take as literal and what to take as parable. That's why there are so many different religions based on this one book. It's also why these religions are still alive today.

I would say no since Jesus is represented by the son to whom the wedding banquet is being held for. I think Fr. Barron is right in saying here the murdering of the messengers points to Israel's reaction to the prophets God sent. There is another parable where the son is killed that points more to the Crucifixion.

With all do respect Bishop. GOD IS LOVE and in his Love He is going to judge us. Can you explain how is it that God judge us. Is it because our sin against Him and His commandments. Or is it just an exaggeration? Why our Blessed Mother Ever Virgen Maria came to Fatima, Lourdes, Akita etc. Just to let us know that God love us and He is all Mercy or she has an urgent message for all of us? With all do respect I think you may be in the wrong line of work.

The whole Bible is a spiritual story never meant to be taken literal. Nice when a Catholic priest starts to understand this.

Bishop aobert Burton If you were checking out my profile you should’ve learned something very IMPORTANT, but it appears your nasty fog of faith blinds you from the reality of God! Your mumbo jumbo only shows me how warped you really are! How sad it is when charlatans like yourself continue to stray others from the reality of God in a World where people need this Force more than ever! Wake up my friend, our Creator may not like you tell the World while making a profit S/He overshadowed a young virgin girl engaged to be married to save us from the sins of the World. And all the other nonsense you spread to make a living! Your Life’s work in all reality has always spread social, and spiritual segregation as you continue to lead others down a faults path of understanding our Maker!

Not one mention of the 'Queen'. 4:36 You get the same reaction with some people regarding the spreading of the gospel message. 10:28 Christ Righteousness, not self righteousness 'But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.' Romans 13v14 / 'For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.' Romans 14v17 / And be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith. Philippians 3v9

Thank you bishop for your spiritual truths on this specific parable amazing. I am just getting caught up on your videos.Amazing that on Friday October 13th 100th year anniversary Conan O'Brien a catholic was on the Steven Colbert Show another catholic. On this show Conan mentioned Flannery O'Connor! as he graduated from Harvard as a writer and his best author was Flannery O'Connor as was Colbert's favorite author amazing. Then Sunday Oct 15th comes along and guess what the catholic mass gospel around the world was about this parable the king's wedding.Amazing. Yes the wedding banquet was unique first it was showing how catholics give excuses in going to mass to receive the eucharist.They are invited weekly and refuse too busy. As the bishop mentioned Israel killed all the prophets and of course God was showing us through the crucifixion that violence was the only thing the world offers. Now when the king sees the guest with improper wedding garments as the bishop describes very well that guest was not worthy because of his works or was not changing his lifestyle. But you also notice the guest was bound up and thrown out. This also refers to heretics protestants because notice that the king recognizes the improper wedding garment meaning certain threads of the garment was missing. To be catholic and worthy of Christ you should be putting on a seamless wedding garment. Heretic in Greek means to strip away a thread. This refers to the guest not living the full gospel complete catholic teachings 'according the whole'.Which means universal church.

The truth is contained in the Deposit of Faith, the Magisterium of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Pray for clarity which condemns the sin of abortion both as the act and the advocacy. Pray for the voice of clarity which calls the sinner to repentance. This clarity is the true act of charity and what it means to be a Catholic and worthy of Christ.

The garment given to the guests is the righteousness of Jesus Christ which we receive by faith. If you add anything to it like what you have said "peace, love, compassion etc," you are staining it by your self goodness. Isiah 64:6 the prophet says our own righteousness is like filthy rags before God. Please,, don't stain the garment God has given to you by adding your own goodnesses or righteousness like what you said. Thank you

Any chance this points to: People kill the messenger (prophets being killed) King destroys city (destruction of Jerusalem 70AD) Other people invited (Gentiles welcomed into the covenant) Guy gets thrown out (One who is unbaptized) Or am I taking it too simplistically?

Nah. You’re right. But the “baptism” you mention is baptism of the Holy Spirit. Not of waters. I just listened to Pastor Tawfiq Cotman El preach about this scripture for one hour. It’s very insightful.

@@majesticmelvin You are right , but the cloth is love and charity as Bishop told in this video., because gentiles are invited and enter the church through babtism, but started living a unworthy life , rather a mediocre life which may not merit heaven. Babtism removed the original sin but cannot guarantee heaven which had to be gained through one's faith and charity. As Holy Father explains about the oil and lamp of virgins parable, that the lamp is our faith and oil is charity , so who has real charity (not tokenistic charity ) can enter heaven.

Ryan, you are correct. The "bishop" in this video twisted scripture. The people who don't receive the Holy Spirit are the ones that don't have the proper wedding garment. Those are the people that say a sinners prayer and think they are saved. Unless one truly repents and receives the Holy Spirit, he will not see the kingdom of God. The road that leads to destruction is wide and the gate is very wide, but the road that leads to heaven is narrow and straight and the gate is narrow. Many think they are Christian's, but if they read scripture they would see how wicked they are. The law was set in place to reveal sin to the world. The Holy Spirit is sent to reveal sin to the world, and to guide one unto righteousness. Something the Law could not do. Study to show yourself approved. Don't take mans word for it. Many are deceived by leaders in the church because they dont read the bible. There are many false prophets in the world and people follow them because they have itching ears.
