"The YouTube Heresies" - Fr. Robert Barron.

*************************

Fr. Robert Barron (of "Catholicism" fame) recorded this talk at St. Mary's Parish as the keynote for a conference in Vancouver, BC in October of 2010. This talk was recorded by Pro Deo Communications of Vancouver for producer Nancy Ross of Word on Fire Catholic Ministries and used during the brief "Word on Fire with Father Robert Barron" TV series that aired on WGN Chicago/WGN America in November and December of 2010.

I feel this particular talk is especially relevant to Gloria.tv, because of Fr. Barron's topic in this talk, "The YouTube Heresies."

At the time this was his first delivery of this particular talk, and as all of Fr. Barron's work it is challenging, germane, informative, and even hip. Fr. Barron makes it cool to be Catholic.

Drawn from his years of responding to (mostly virulently antagonistic) YouTube commenters over the many video commentaries on popular culture and t Church he has posted online over the years at his YouTube Channel, I HIGHLY recommend watching this entire uninterrupted talk.

Fr. Barron has been compared by Archbishop Timothy Dolan to the venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen:

Friends I seem to have discovered a very popular subject!
Needless to say, I am thrilled, as are my co-authors of this work.
Thank you!
👏
We have never seen anything we have produced in over three years "go viral" on YouTube. It is a true thrill to see Fr. Barron hit it out of the park like this.
But I must take advantage of this little spotlight to intercede for a favor... (forgive me).

If you have not seen Fr. Barron's "Catholicism" series, I CANNOT RECOMMEND IT HIGHLY ENOUGH. If I try any harder than that, I will break my keyboard.

You will be standing and applauding in your living room before the first episode's opening credits are even finished. Even if you aren't Catholic you will be.

George Weigel has called this series the most important production in the history of the Catholic Church in the US. Being Bl. JPII's biographer, I tend to give his opinions some weight.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan has compared Fr. Barron's work to that of Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, the only Catholic priest ever to beat Milton Berle in ratings. Look it up. Get and watch "Catholicism" please. You will thank me.

So, my little appeal: buy Fr. Barron's Catholicism series if you can, or at least get Father to order a copy for your parish and school library. I can't imagine why every Catholic parish on the planet would not have at least one copy of this landmark television series.

Even if you saw the episodes that PBS selected, you haven't seen the whole series. You want to see the whole series. On Blu-ray.

Full disclosure: I am not connected with Fr. Barron's production company Word On Fire Ministries in Chicago, but I can witness personally that Mrs. Nancy Ross, Fr. Barron's producer is a lovely and Godly Catholic woman. She contracted me shoot this once a few years ago. There is no financial interest on my part. I get nothing if you buy a copy. But please, please buy a copy! They spent millions of private funds producing it and if you haven't seen it, it's all on the screen as they say.

But buy the Catholicism series anyway, please. Or at least send them some money via Paypal. How many of us actually do this kind of work, seriously? Buy them a coffee at least!

You will not just love "Catholicism," you will LURVE it! And so will all the people you call up after all these years and invite over for dinner and an episode or two.

Warning: if you love Holy Mother Church, keep tissues handy at all times during viewing of this labor of love called "Catholicism."

This is not a commercial. I am only recommending this from the bottom of my heart, and I will not get any part of their sales. Please don't let that stop you!

Why not order it now and give them a fantastic Monday morning surprise after the July 4th week?
