- The Heritage Foundation’s B. Kenneth Simon Center for American Studies is honored to announce that the Most Reverend Bishop Robert Barron of the diocese of Winona-Rochester will deliver the 2023 Russell Kirk Lecture for his speech titled, “The Breakdown of the Tocquevillean Equilibrium.”
The namesake of the lecture-famed scholar Russell Kirk-was a pillar of the conservative movement, bringing like-minded individuals under the very name conservative. Through his well-known books, The Conservative Mind and The Roots of American Order, Kirk provided a philosophical foundation for the conservative movement.
Helping to establish the influential publications National Review and Modern Age, Kirk strove to consolidate a rich, academic bedrock for conservatives, developing the six canons of conservatism which defined the tenets of the movement.
Following the path of the America’s greatest conservative intellectual, the Russell Kirk Lecture series recognizes those individuals who exemplify Kirk’s commitment to conservative scholarship.
Previous Russell Kirk Lectures have been delivered by Robert George, Roger Scruton, Shelby Steele, George Nash, Robert Reilly, David Goldman, Roger Kimball, and Gary Saul Morson.
This year’s Russell Kirk Lecture speaker, Bishop Robert Barron, is known for his highly influential Word on Fire ministerial organization, which seeks to “proclaim Christ in the Culture” by “utilizing the tremendous resources…of art, architecture, poetry, philosophy, theology, and the lives of the saints in order to explain and interpret the event of Jesus Christ.” Bishop Barron is one of the most followed Catholics on social media and is frequently featured on FOX, NBC, and EWTN. He is an #1 Amazon bestselling author and has received acclaim for two documentary series, Catholicism and Pivotal Players. Despite his international prominence, he remains committed to the faithful of his Diocese of Winona-Rochester, MN.

What a loving soul, and intelligent and well spoken man.
God bless you and your ministry, Bishop Barron. I pray for you. See you in heaven!🙏🏽
Lots of questions and thank you for the discussion. Much needed, very much needed for our young people today . Direction home is needed.
Live out the Catholic faith:
life to gospel, gospel to life...just like St. Francis of Assisi.
Peace, Joy and Love in the Most Holy Light of Christ Jesus.
Incredibly insightful. I love how Bishop Barron speaks on how science can’t explain what makes a good act good. & the issue of scientism. How empty and hallow it made me as a young man going to public school, and all the others I grew up with. & wouldn’t you know, without God We resigned ourselves for living for the day and partying and hooking up. The individual was most high, not God.
You become what you love and worship. Your ultimate concern. We all worship something.
Outstanding!!
I noticed that CZcams censored “trigger words” on this video. Google should be ashamed of themselves.
Can you be more specific? What trigger words and where on the video? I noticed some “skips” when BB was quoting Locke, but I’m not sure that is what you mean.
Word.

Agreeing on what is objectively valuable is a difficult question that has been debated by philosophers for centuries. There are a few different approaches to answering this question, but one common view is that objective values are grounded in something outside of human opinion or cultural norms.
For example, some philosophers argue that objective values are grounded in God or a transcendent reality that exists independently of human beliefs and opinions. According to this view, people can come to an agreement on what is objectively valuable by seeking to understand the nature of God or the transcendent reality and aligning their beliefs and actions with that understanding.
Others argue that objective values are grounded in human nature or the nature of the world itself. According to this view, people can come to an agreement on what is objectively valuable by studying human nature and the natural world and aligning their beliefs and actions with the inherent value that they find there.
Still, others argue that objective values are a matter of reason and logic, independent of any particular religious or philosophical worldview. According to this view, people can come to an agreement on what is objectively valuable by engaging in rational discussion and argumentation and arriving at a consensus based on shared principles of reason and logic.
Ultimately, the question of how people can agree on what is objectively valuable is a complex and multifaceted one, and different people and philosophical traditions will have different answers. However, seeking to understand the nature of objective value and engaging in respectful and reasoned dialogue with others can be helpful in arriving at a shared understanding of what is truly valuable.
This is ChatGPT response to my question: “how can we determine objective value?”
There is a field of science, Economics, that suggests a means of binding together the political and the transcendent religious- spiritual considerations of this knowledgeable lecture by Bishop Robert Barron. If one reviews specialized literature of Neoclassical theorists ("Pareto" optimization) from a mathematical model, a "perfect" market cannot function when there are undesirable elements causing disequilibrium (for example "Anatomy of Market Failure" by Francis Bator of MIT). Thus Anti Trust policies have been included in the "Social Contract". Unfortunately this is not enough, and thus the need for a solid spiritual foundation in the people that manage the businesses and institutions (private and public) in each country. These ideas seem to have been intuitively obvious to the Founders of the USA Constitution.
Life is like a pencil sketch and then education colors it in
patriarchy:
a system of society or government in which the father or eldest male is head of the family, and familial descent is traced through the male ancestral line; a system of society or government in which men hold the power and women are largely excluded from it.
As clearly and soundly demonstrated in more than one chapter of “A Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity”, men and women have quite distinct duties and responsibilities within human society. Adult males naturally fall into one of the four social classes (that is, priests, monarchs, business/farm owners, and workers), whilst females are meant to serve their superiors as daughters (in the case of girls) and wives (in the case of women), by performing household chores and raising children. Of course, a large proportion of the population no longer adhere to this gender role dichotomy, particularly in the Western countries, and the chances are, if you have read this far into this Holy Scripture, you are not among them (unless, that is, you are aiming to persecute the Messenger of Truth).
Radical feminists (of both sexes) invariably become noticeably upset, and sometimes aggressively violent, when they are confronted with any mention of patriarchal ideology, as they wrongly believe that women should have an equal role in the governance of families and in the ruling bodies of societies (and often that women ought to rule nations, as in a matriarchy, since they incorrectly assume that women are less war-mongering than men). Such radical feminists and social constructionists have surmised that gender roles and gender inequity are instruments of power, and that they have become social norms to maintain control over women.
Constructionists would contend that sociobiological arguments serve to justify the oppression of women. And by “oppression” they are, in actual fact, referring to the fact that men have largely protected their womenfolk throughout human history, and in a huge number of cases, practically worship the opposite sex (see the Glossary entry under “gynocentrism”).
OBVIOUSLY, throughout human history, some men have harmed some women, just as many women have harmed men - that has absolutely naught to do with patriarchy, but solely with sin and lawlessness. Most all Western countries are now matriarchal, in the sense that women have total and utter power over their menfolk, even if that power is enforced by other (so-called) males. This last quip ought not be construed to imply that criminal males should not be held accountable for their crimes, but that, in many (if not most) cases of suspected wrongdoing, the accused man is not only innocent of any transgressions but is, rather, the victim. If a man has abused a woman, he ought to be castigated by his legitimate authority, not by the minions of any corrupt state/government. Personally, I have been jailed twice for being the casualty of physical assault and verbal insults by women making blatantly false allegations against me, a very skinny, old monastic priest (and honestly consider myself to be immensely gentle, loving and kind).
Therefore, the fact that you, the reader, are alive and well, is due largely to the institution of PATRIARCHY, which has protected your ancestral lineage from those barbarians who have not adhered to dharma (holy and righteous norms, based on non-violence) and if you insist that patriarchy is intrinsically harmful, you are being blatantly hypocritical and unwittingly invoking your very own demise!
Patriarchy is the only system that is normal, natural, and necessary. It is normal, natural, and necessary for a father to take charge of his nuclear family, for a grandfather to take control of his extended family, for a chief to assert authority over his clan, all the way up to a monarch, who is considered to be the father of his people, and finally to a (genuine) priest/prophet, who is father of his nation.
It is impossible for the typical woman to property execute the role of family/clan/national head, and even if a female was found who could competently lead her family, tribe, clan, or village, there will always be a male who could have fulfilled that role to an even more competent degree, unless, of course, the male population had been depleted by the ravages of war or disease, for example.
@@ReverendDr.Thomas The neo-Hegalian analysis by Fr Gaston Fessard sj, 1948, has in: "The concrete genesis of humanity [in fundamental relationships that tie together the two dialectics of man and woman] ... "The father, indeed, is still the master whose power is placed naturally at the service of the familial community so as to safeguard its existence.", and: "The mother is still the servant, but the servant-wife who directs the economy - 'the law of the home' - and orients it spontaneously towards the development of liberty and the education of the children. ... Paternity, maternity, fraternity, these are three essential pivots of all human society. Thanks to them politics and economics can be related in groups extended even more widely."
The natural relationship of male power and female liberty/education in consecrated marriage as in uncertainty of belief a keeping or allowing of their inseparability and qualitative equality exercises an absolute power of their simultaneous authorisations of their applications of their ensuring their procreation role gift and their insuring their need of union of their identities.
This natural relationship is termed in economics as the "multiplier" and could be so termed in politics.
Patriarchy and matriarchy abuse of paternity power and maternity liberty/education are occult as hidden and incest connected as substitute mate and are the cause of "the great majority of sacramental marriages are invalid" (Pope Francis, 15 June 2016).
Is the new series on the Church Fathers by theology put out by universities like Harvard Notre Dame and others has it been sanctioned by the Vatican?
What if God only gave us clues and we have to figure it out? If so then it's working
Does science define the fourth dimension being the consciousness? I know; It's fighting words.
No.
Audio quality leaves something to be desired which is a real shame because this is otherwise top of the line stuff. "Do we have the strength I dunno but it's what we have to do." 26 year old reporting for duty. It's on my generation.
And yet,
The Bishop still has not addressed the "woke-ism" that has taken hold in Catholic Universities.
I find this quite perplexing.
I've spoken out against it for years, most recently at Notre Dame, just two weeks ago.
We have very few bishops in the church who dare to talk about the obvious problems. And, the few that do talk about it, are usually nutcases who want to break away from the Catholic church like Vigano, Schneider etc, - guys who follow an excommunicated heretic.
I have listened to Bishop Barron address this in different talks at the WOF Ministry and elsewhere
@@BishopBarron thank you.🙏
Why does the bishop find the intelligibility of the world to be problematic? Why would the world not be intelligible to a creature that evolved in it?
Bishop Barron is an excellent bishop. His only failing, like that of many intellectuals in the Catholic Church, is his failure to admit the Catholic priesthood has a major homosexual problem. He refuses to acknowledge that homosexuals overwhelmingly were the ones that abused little boys. He refuses to even talk about it. As soon as large numbers of homosexuals became priests, (50 percent in some places) the abuse started and the church began running away from its own teachings. This is shameful, because the laity understands very clearly that homosexuals have infiltrated most major religions and tried to turn them into something they are not. The same has happened in Mainstream protestantism, and now Evangelical protestantism. Yet they all refuse to talk about it.
Bishop Barron is not joined in a consecrated celibate marriage vowed to man in Christ. He supports the false purporting presuming that consecrated celibate marriage vowed to man in Christ is a "higher vocation" (roman catholic church teaching in TTMHS, PCF, 1995, 35) or "higher way of love" (time c.26:35 of his interview by Lex Fridman: "Christianity and the Catholic Church" in mid 2022) than consecrated male female marriage vowed to God. Since the great majority of sacramental marriages are invalid" (Pope Francis, 15 June 2016) as itself sexual abuse, the acting out by these disappointed sought to be spouses, whether celibate or male female, explains the large number of homosexuals/lesbians and their sexual abuse of children and vulnerable adults.
Well then just because they are not talking about it does not mean they are not addressing it.
@@bluewren2 The "higher vocation" inducement is occult as hidden and incest connected as substitute mate. As hidden, they neither talk about it nor address it as not seeing it.
Could not agree more with your first statement … he is an excellent bishop. However, he hasn’t refused to talk about it. Seek out Bishop Barron’s cri de coeur, his book from 2019 “Letter to a Suffering Church: A Bishop Speaks on the Sexual Abuse Crisis”. I believe you will find his book both enlightening and encouraging.
Homosexuals are not inherently pedophiles. Do you expect every talk by a Catholic to begin with an apology? You need to read the body of Bishop Barrons work and know all the things the church is doing to correct the problems. We are not a church of saints but sinners. We are in a battle at war with sin.
