I, too, have expressed my concerns regarding Bishop Barron’s silence and the favorable treatment accorded to Charlie Kirk. Consequently, I have withdrawn my support from Bishop Barron’s platform.

Cutting off money to all of these FAKE Catholic bishops is the only thing that gets their attention.

I gave up on him a few months ago after his interview with Tucker Carlson. He is lost.

Me too. I have stopped following him. He does not practice what he preaches.

Yes! That really jarred me.

He has gone on his own opinion, rather than Catholic teaching and Orthodoxy. Perhaps, as a high profile church official, he believes in his truth and only his truth. A Judas amongst the flock.

The leaders of all faiths should be speaking out with one voice decrying the demonization and detention without due process of people whether citizens or not, whether wholly without sin or not

I can understand reticence from Muslim clergy, they are already viewed as terrorists by many in the U.S. But other religions, their leaders have no excuses.

Those priests who fancy politics more than their actual role are hypocrites. As a Catholic, I resent any priest drawing analogies between Catholics and mouthpieces for hatred and vitriol.

Bishop Barron needs to be reassigned to a nice monastery and given some time for silent and somber reflection.

Two or three years should do it.

This man loves the spotlight and the powerful people he won’t speak out. I think that’s the definition of coward.

I too admired Bishop Barron and his ministry until He began to laud DT. I wrote to him explaining... No response. I'm so thankful for Pope Leo's leadership and heart for the least of these! We must pray that all bishops, priests, and pastors come to the understanding that Jesus loved them too!

Yes, please we should all write letters to Bishop Barron. His Catholicism series brought me back to the Church. I cancelled my membership to his Word on Fire Ministry when he joined Trump’s New Religious Liberty Commission. When I cancelled through an email, I just got the standard “hate to see you go message” meaning “hate to see your money go.” I am so disappointed in him from joining the Religious Liberty Commission, to his comments about Kirk. I loved his Rosary meditations and so many of his teachings and writings. He has such a huge media presence, he could make such a difference in calling out this Administration’s cruelty to immigrants being picked up in courtrooms when they are “doing everything right” to ministers being hit in the head with pepper balls. Bishop Barron was “outraged” by the ceremony at the Paris Olympics, why can’t he be outraged by what we see everyday? Blackhawk helicopters used on a Chicago apartment raid, Bishop Barron was born in Chicago!

Have you ever listened to anything on the Hallow app? There are rosary meditations on there. He has a couple of prayers but I don’t listen to them.

Pope Leo followed through and has just made some important changes to Opus Dei for this very reason and so many others.

The US Bishops have had a difficult time speaking with one voice. Bishop Barron is not alone on this, but as you said, given his media standing, one would think he would be visible and vocal. While abortion and ivf are important topics for us to grapple with, immigration is here, is now, and demands support.

Barron was vocal and loud a clear for the crap Charlie Kirk but totally silent on immigration. He is just another MAGA brown noser who has been bought out with filthy money

Bishop Barren has compromised Catholic theology and doctrine by contorting true catholic teaching to align with Trumpism and line his pockets. He and other Catholic leaders such as Cardinal Dolan and Bishop Burbidge are responsible for our current state of affairs. Bishop Barren is to Catholicism as Osama Bin Laden is to Islam.

He is faithful to his own position. He cares little, if at all for any person. His adulation, by Trump is his blessing. He, does not deserve to be an ordained official.

I had not heard of Bishop Barron. What you’ve told me in so many words is that he’s a MAGA bishop. As you point out, both what he chooses to speak about and not to speak about sends a message. He approves of the destructive force that is the Trump administration.
