  5. When an undergraduate student at the University of Georgia, I remember a course in Business Law where the professor taught that rights do not exist apart from corresponding responsibilities. That was in 1978, and I've never forgotten the lesson.

  9. "Without the conscious free and valued repetition of certain patterns of good behavior moral education does not take place".

    Reminds me of what Dallas Willard said, "You can never get a shower by one drop of water every five minutes daily no matter how long you stand there".

    Prayer and moral virtue can't be just one drop daily it needs to be practiced constantly.

  11. There is  line of thought today that "law follows culture"  — not principle, certainly not truth.  Truth cannot be democratized.  It isn't "all good."   Democracy is not everything, and yet western culture places its bets on everything that it is.  Today, in America, a sacramental marriage is no longer a constitutional marriage.  Perhaps that's a good thing.  It is certainly a moment of shocking clarity.  Beautiful talk, as always, Bishop Barron.  The beauty of truth and coherence.

  16. Great talk Bishop. There were so many things that resonated with me, especially about social media and how children are raised. I had a kid in Walmart last night for example that mouthed off to me and called me "girl" because I looked at him (he was wearing one of those stuffed heads). Keep in mind he was about 10 and I'm in my late thirties. When I was that age I would have never done that. Even though things were difficult growing up, I was taught to respect others, be kind and be selfless. It's horrifying how children treat people. So many parents laugh off their kids mouthing off, misbehaving, bullying others. My jaw hits the floor every time.

    I was having a talk with my younger brother the other day about social media as well. He is very much involved with the online community because of his work and sees all the vitriol every day. It seems like there is poisonous behavior everywhere you go. Nasty comments on Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, it goes on and on. You don't like someone's hair you think you have the right to cut them down. Don't like their political views, you can call him all the names you want. Some even go so far as to destroy people's lives by getting them fired, losing their relationships. I heard it said that if you want to know what a person is really like, look at their posts. People are free to be themselves behind a computer screen and fear no reprecussions. I know people who seemingly spend all their waking moments online. They document every move they make and even with their kids. I think its wonderful that they want to share their family and I love seeing their children and all the events in their lives but where is the balance? We need to live in the real world more and enjoy what is in front of us. If we are so glued looking down to our phones, we might miss something beautiful and meaningful.

  21. Robert Barron, you're a f** demon for persecuting Fr. Juan Carlos Gavancho. May the curse of the Holy Apostles, Peter and Paul, and of all the Holy Saints and Martyrs be upon you until you repent!!!!!!
