  • Friends, there is a healthy and necessary tension between inclusion and exclusion in any rightly ordered society, including the Church. Are equity, diversity, and inclusivity valuable? Yes, precisely in the measure that they are expressions of love; no, in the measure that they stand athwart love. To grasp this is of crucial importance in the moral conversation that our society must have.

    So much wisdom from Bishop Barron. If I ever become Christian and Catholic it will be because of this man's words and character.

    Our public discourse is completely devoid of philosophical subtlety and wisdom. Thanks for this, Bishop Barron. Now that you've made this important video, please write these same thoughts down in a heartfelt letter and send copies of it to every university president and politician in the United States.

    Thank you Bishop Barron. We need more of this preached and clarified in our confused world which is in desperate need of the Truth!

    I'm shocked CZcams allows such honest speech. Thank you Bishop.

    When the say "equity" they don't mean "equality" and they don't want "equality."

    There is a distinction between unity and uniformity, the latter being an affront to the beauty different cultures have to offer, the former being a virtue that can maintain truth. The Church itself does not demand uniformity, we have something like 26 unique rites with their own traditions which nevertheless are all unified with Rome.

    Equity, Diversity, and Inclusivity Are Not Absolute Values, but faith, hope, and love are. If you love only those who love you, why should you get credit for that? Anyone can do that. And if you do good only to those who do good to you, why should you get credit? Even sinners do that. It’s important to treat your friends well, but it’s the way you treat your enemies that truly define you. And if you have enemies, that means you’ve stood up for something, as the saying goes. Which is why making enemies is as necessary as making friends.

    I might argue that equity (of opportunity, not the straw man equity of outcome), diversity, and inclusivity are not values but rather fruits of the justice and love elevated here. So to compare them all as values I feel is a bit misleading. So why do we have EDI offices? So that we can be specific in outcome goals. Justice and love are impossible to measure.

    Every time I watch one of the Bishop’s videos I can feel the noise and chaos being turned down. Thank you 🙏🏼

    It is Korea. In this society where communication is cut off, social absurdity is severe. Many young people experience injustice and resentment. So thank you more. Your message changes me for the better and spreads to the people around me. So now you are changing the world. I wish you eternal blessings.

    +Robert, in just 10 or 12 minutes you have demonstrated the power of the calm, reasoned and lovingly humane Catholic homily over the secular social media spats and sound bites that are the cause of so much strife! Thank you!

    In today's common practice within many organizations and businesses, diversity, equity, and inclusion mean homogeneity, weighted outcomes, and exclusion. It's all about appearances and politics.

  • @natv4968

    I have first seen Bishop Barron from the Chosen.. and man, he's got to be one of the few wise guys on the net at this Era. I am blessed to listen to his views and no-non sense talk. much love from the Philippines.

    There’s also a difference between equality and equity, especially in the modern era.

    Clarity in these confusing times is valuable. We must make a stand against the liars and those who lie about the lies. We must live not by lies.

    Clear thinking from a god-centered man... Is living in the spirit... Thank you for "including" us in the heart of our Lord, Good Shepherd.
