Religion and the Opening Up of the Mind | Bishop Robert Barron | Talks at Google

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 พ.ค. 2018
- Bishop Robert Barron speaks at Google HQ about religion and the opening up of the mind. Bishop Barron is the founder of Word on Fire Catholic Ministries and Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Bishop Barron is a #1 Amazon bestselling author and has published numerous books, essays, and articles on theology and the spiritual life, in addition to his regular TH-cam videos (@wordonfirevideo).
Bishop Barron discusses how our minds restlessly seek, and how religion, at its best, never shuts down the mind, but opens it up. He explores the nature of "beatitudo", following the philosophy of Thomas Aquinas to conclude that wealth, power, pleasure, and honor will never satisfy, but only God can satisfy the infinite desires of our hearts.
Thank you, Bishop Barron. I sit here with tears in my eyes, because I sent this to my son, who was pulled away from his faith in his early teens. He said that he really liked it and how intelligent you are. He has not listened or watched anything before. Today's Lenten Gospel reflection about praying again and again (St. Augustine... don't get me started on the irony of my name being Monica). I can't wait to come back and tell you that my son has come Home.
Beautiful.Barron is your bishop Ambrose. The metaphysics of the world reality. Trust that the good work started by the Logos(Christ) he will bring to fulfillment.
As a Catholic I'm so proud of this man. A true gift to us in our time.
You can say that again
He is a great teacher, full of wisdom. God has given this priest to all. To teach us who God is.

Thank you, Google for having the courage to host Bishop Barron. Thank you for having the conviction to make Google and TH-cam a platform for all ideas and voices. This talk greatly increases my respect and esteem for Google, even if it doesn't acknowledge Easter in Google Doodles.

Easy to have a fake Shepard of the church speak to the great Satan of the world
@@buzzledoux7572 fools look gold as waste coz his mind is doesn't know the value
No matter what the Church Militants claim - this man is engaging and gets people thinking; believers and non-believers ... and this can only be good. Tremendous respect for him.
M S I agree if what you mean by militants are those who are not willing to put down the hammer and reach out and engage. Those individuals would be hard pressed to be invited to give a talk.

I've got 12th winning thanks to Mr Nicolas Muller he's really the best, I've made $10,400 in 12 days working with him.Really y'all know him? I even thought I'm the only one he has helped walk through the fears and falls of trading.
I’ll second that, indeed... 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks to Fr Barron for getting me back to catholicism. And thanks to Rev. Fulton Sheen and TH-cam too :)
Listen to Fulton Sheen and drop Barron. This is a smoke screen.
He is a false prophet. When a Catholic Priest talks for an hour and doesn’t mention Jesus Christ once, there is your over arching clue. He didn’t tell these people how to save their soul and that is his only goal in life, period. That is why Google had him speak. He preaches a one world Generic God. Not Jesus Christ the savior of the world. He presents nothing of merit here. This Bishop believes and preaches all soul’s go to heaven and there is no hell. There is heaven and a hell and very few soul’s make it to heaven. Narrow is the gate. Many are called and a few chosen. Go to Dr. Taylor Marshall’s TH-cam Channel to get the truth. If you desire to get into heaven and not burn in the fire’s of hell.
@@buzzledoux7572 he mentioned many times Thomas Aquinas who is the doctor of the church which represents Christ
And moreover he himself is bishop everyone knows he also represents Christ
Action speak greater the words
His presence make the presence of Christ

I’m technology person, work, sell, do consulting, save company lives (also people too), teach, do coaching, etc., but when I had my encounter with Jesus, I found my true and continuous happiness. Be a tech person, or a technology consumer, don’t give you the happiness. The way to get it, is giving the LOVE as results of Jesus encounter, to other persons. Catholic at Google: Learn about you Faith , Study the Bible, joint to the Catholic groups, involve it with your local priest and church, learn Apologetics, and show to yours partners how is be a Catholic. God bless you Bishop Barron.!
Constance incredible!! Thanks to share it....a wonderful testimony..
God bless you, Guillermo - be sure to share the love you have found. It is happiness unlimited.

@@FromBarsoom agree 👍
This is an excellent talk. Bishop Robert Barron has a unique ability to remain so down to earth while presenting high level philosophical material. His talks are really helping me see things in a different light.
Bishop Barron, thank you for your humble brilliance, when I hear you speak I am drawn to God
Thank you for that comment, lost - my experience as well, although I’ve never articulated it.
Bishop Robert Barron should be invited to Ted talks!
Amen!
But the TED talks I have seen weren’t very welcoming of non secular philosophical viewpoints and world views . Has anyone see a TED talk where a similar view as Bishop Barron’s has been presented ? I haven’t watched all of the TED talks ( obviously ) and I don’t want to be accused of being making baseless claims .
Why? does TED allow the participants to beat the shit out of charlatans?
Absolutely!
You
This man is just a genius. He always refers to himself as the inadequate representative of an intellectual tradition that stretches back two millennia, but who could possibly be a more qualified representative?
Freni Sillona St. Thomas Aquinas? Seriously though, probably only the saints of old could be better representatives, he's probably the one of the best living reps for sure.
Yes :), that's what I meant, living today.
so true
Read enough Thomas Aquinas and you will be intellectually humbled, both because he is incomparably smarter than me and you and because he himself is incredibly humble.
There were always Catholic genius: Aquinas, Agustín, Bonaventure, Newman, Irenaeus, John Paul II, etc.
Bravo to Google for being open to the exchange of cultures and faith
I hope more stop supporting a political party that has Godless intentions
I am so glad Google invited Bishop Baron to speak.
Except they didn't.
Arranged by Catholic employees at Google.
I applaud these brave employees at Google who express their faith, in this case, my shared Catholic Faith. Religion is looked down upon so much, particularly as unintelligent, which anyone who knows religion knows it does NOT ask one to suspend rational thought. Bravo to these courageous Google employees and thank you to the powers at Google who "allowed" this platform.
Bishop Barron is HUGELY INTELLIGENT about so much more than his faith practices. He has traveled the world to gather various knowledge to fill his brain. I love hearing his talks because he brings so many topics together to educate his listeners. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Bishop Barron is a perfect example of how God’s grace is manifesting itself in our culture despite its best attempts to quash anything that smacks of God, religion, and morality. The Q & A after his talk was excellent. Just listen to this...if nothing else...to hear one of the best orators of our time.
“Hey Google, show me what’s good today!”
...And there it is, a wonderful talk from a brilliant human being :)
Bear always, that Bishop Barron's strivings/teachings are seated in love - love for all brothers & sisters. If we can own this love, as children of God, we understandably will do as much as we can to exacerbate our spirit toward this ultimate love.

Bishop Barron is simply one of the greatest of the Church's messengers.
Bravo,my hero!

This is one of the absolute best Catholic and philosophical talks I’ve ever heard.
Bishop Barron, a prophetic voice of our times and a witness to the voice of God who is All in all!! Thank you, God bless you evermore.
Hello Samia Boghdady.
How are you feeling today I hope your day is as bright as your pretty smile today.
Hello samia
Thank you Google for confirming you are out in the quest for search ALL knowledge and information that lies in different minds. Certainly Bishop Barron life is a exponential of that search for ALL knowledge that leads to understanding of our hearts quests to good. Bishop Barron once more you never cease to inspire me how to share God thru his essence.... LOVE! the path of love....
“How do we let God move into our lives? “Great question!
“We all fall in love with Jesus in a different way” because we are all so different. So true!
I had a life changing encounter with God at 18 and I asked myself, what did I do to let that happen. I figured out that 3 things had mattered.
1/ I acknowledged the fact that I was missing something in my life, I had a deep desire for more. I wanted something to change in my life but I didn’t know what.
2/ I made a leap of faith and spoke to God and told Him : “I don’t know if you care about me, but if you do, show me.”
3/ I made myself available from time to time by leaving my noisy life behind and just spending time in silent.
Encountering God was the best thing that happened to me in my life. It gave me a deep sense of happiness and fulfillment. Try encountering God, you won’t be disappointed!
Nice confession!! I too made decisions to admit my weaknesses and ask for help, and when I asked what I understood to be God to direct my life, my eyes were opened to real happiness
Amazed to find Bishop Barron's speech at Google!
As I am searching for ways to occupy my time while I must be still following a surgery. I find Bishop Barron. I will be watching and following him to keep my perspective fresh and my faith nourished and alive. Thank you Bishop Barron for your sharing of the Catholic faith and intellect that brings so much into perspective.
Yes in God we trust. God is the ultimate joy of every heart. Every heart is restless until it rest on you oh God.
Thank you Bishop Barron, and Google. I was teary eyed at that beautiful ending of the talk. Bishop Barron is just brilliant, blessed with great wisdom by God, our beatitudo!
Hello lailany
Bishop Barron you are a great gift from God to all of us. I learn so much from your talks. May our Lord bless you and our holy Mother protect you as you bring us closer to her Son.
Thank you Bishop Barron, you are a beacon of light to this confused world.
I watch Bishop Barron regularly and I really enjoyed this talk. I’m not a Catholic but I look forward to his weekly sermons. I have learned a lot from him about God. I learned about him from Jordan Peterson.
I showed this video to a Christian/non-Catholic friend of mine and he asked me afterwards, "Why isn't he the pope?"
thats what im saying!
Watch Taylor Marshall's channel here. That's why.
@@einarabelc5 You see: Taylor Marshall isn't a bishop (teacher of the Church), Bishop Barron is. So i'd rather listen to to the true teachers than the self-declared ones.
What an incredibly powerful talk by Bishop Baron. His reference to Wealth, Power, Pleasure and Honor as the false substitutes for Beatitudo, the ultimate unconditional happiness resonated with me. Thank you Google for putting this together and for the intelligent questions from Google employees that provided an opportunity for Bishop Barron to respond.
Bishop Barron, an amazing speech, thank you.
"If God did not exist, there would be no atheists" (G.K.Chesterton) ... nor anything else.
@@Sunamifishsurvivor to take part in being
@@Sunamifishsurvivor to exchange with eachothers
Thats what i can observe
@@Sunamifishsurvivor There is no easy answer to that question. Everyone in this thread would have to explain their own personal Ontology to answer that. Bob makes a good point though, the simple fact that we are conscious beings asking that question is not something to be overlooked.
I hope more stop supporting a political party that has Godless intentions
I never knew about this Chesterton quote, but I have always felt that way,...If there truly were no God, there would be no Atheists. Why would you have define yourself as someone who doesn't believe in something that is not there? I have always felt that people who label themselves as "Atheists" are simply those who deep down sense that God is real, but don't want there to be a God, thus spend the rest of their lives trying to convince themselves that there is no such thing as God. (Athiest)
"Love must always be our primary consideration" is harder than it sounds but it's an excellent goal.
Our eternal quest to be unconditionally happy (at peace, etc;) The very reason we all have this eternal desire within us is because of how God made us. I really appreciated that he mentioned instead of going to great effort to extinguish that "flame" (ie Buddhism) , but rather that we embrace it and direct it towards the place it was meant to be,...getting God inside of us, so we can thus give God to others.
When God created, he made all creatures according to their own kind, the fish, the birds, the cattle etc; according to their own kind. However, when God made man He did not make man according to man's own kind, rather God made man in the image and likeness of...God. In other words according to God-kind. The bible also tells us that man is a "vessel". So, we are a vessel, made in the image and likeness of...God. It is no wonder that man is unsatisfied with attempting to achieve unconditional happiness with worldly things...wealth, power, etc, that only offer us a temporary "thrill". Yes, we are made, designed, formed, shaped, meant, to have God inside our vessel. We spend our lives trying to cram all sorts of other things in there,....but only God is a perfect fit. Just as a glove is a container in the shape and form of a hand, and outwardly looks like a hand,..if it does not have the hand inside of it, it has no real purpose, function, or expression of life. If the glove could speak it would say it is not satisfied until someone puts a hand inside and fills it up. We are in the shape and form of God. Without God inside of us, we do not have proper purpose, function, or life.
Jesus said...."I AM the Life." ..."I am the bread of Life....he who eats Me (takes me in) shall live because of Me,..the words I speak are spirit and life." This in fact is how we actually get God inside of us. God came to us in the from of humanity in the man Jesus. When Jesus went to the cross, He not only removed the barrier of sin in our lives, but He also resurrected becoming the "life giving Spirit" so He could get inside of us (joining THE Spirit, with our spirit.) THIS is how we come into that joining of ourselves and God. This is how our vessel, made in that image and likeness of God becomes filled and fulfilled,...and leads to unconditional contentment, fulfilled purpose, and proper function.
Phenomenal Comment ❣️ Would give it ten thousand likes if it were permitted without ten thousand accounts👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Amén amén
Thank you, Bishop, from one of your Presbyterian viewers. I'll be using this video in adult Sunday School.
God bless you and your students!
@@BishopBarron God Bless you and thankyou for your work means allot to me a searching non Catholic.
This man is the type of celebrity that I am proud to follow. Thank you Google!
Thanks for posting this talk. So good to see Google opening up to this truth. In an increasingly secular world, this is so important to us all.
Amazing! Feeling inspired. Thank you, Bishop Barron and thank you Google for hosting.

Hello Esperanza.
How are you feeling today I hope your day is as bright as your pretty smile today.
This magnificent talk is the simple truth . I live through God first then let my life unfold as God wishes . : ) .. so many have to suffer to find this simple truth
I know what you speak of. And my suffering is over
Thank you! Will watch it again tomorrow evening, together with my wife and a glass of good wine. God is the (only) source of unconditional joy and happiness and that is the truth with shines through all your talks. :-)
Bishop Barron is a blessed gift for the Christian faith, and a humble servant leader! He is a living Saint! Thanks be to God for his life, intellect, faith and love!
Thanks for hosting this inspiring catholic man, google! Someone should bring him to their state college campuses. Now that’s where we need to invite our young adults to love and honor their religion.
Eloisa Magana
Why "state college" campuses specifically?
Brilliant summary of the need for God in our lives by Bishop Barron. Love the way he relates to everyone, respectfully, wherever they may be spiritually and intellectually.
Bishop Barron is a blessing to humanity 🙏🏽
Awesome talk! Beautifully structured, rising to a final crescendo of Truth. Thank you as always, Bishop Barron. You are a great teacher.
Thank you for your insight and faithfulness!
Hello jeannie 👋
How are you feeling today I hope your day is as bright as your pretty smile today.
Excellent and beautifully articulated, as always from Bishop Barron!
Bishop Barron is awesome!
His Excellency is tearing it up in these comments.
Gotta keep a sense of humor!
Awesome lecture! Inspiring as usual from Bishop Barron!
Couldn't have agreed more, great presentation from him as always. He usually gets you thinking about something, just as great philosophers does, and I'm not even a catholic.
Uplifting and inspiring look into the journey of the quest for God in our life.
Thank you Bishop!
wonderful wonderful and insightful. thank you Bishop
Beautiful and inspiring! What a gift we have in Bishop Barron! Amen!
Hello Aidan 👋
How are you feeling today.
I am so grateful that Bishop Barron is in the public eye. He is one of my heroes.
Bishop Barron is a very intelligent Catholic Bishop. A beautiful gift to mankind.Has opened up my mind to Catholism.God bless you .....
Thank you Bishop Barron for everything!
Hello utufaasili Dermott.
How are you feeling today I hope your day is as bright as your pretty smile today.
Love this guy; just shared on several internet venues. Please do this also because you never know who Bishop Barron's talks or "Word on Fire" may prompt to come closer to God!
Watching this again, absolutely wonderful!
Thank God so much for the speak....Amen .....
Thank you for speaking the truth.
Hi. Immense blessings. 🌹🏵💮🌸
Wow, ENLIGHTENING is an understatement, will resonate whether listener agrees or disagrees, THANK YOU for shining light and making it so clear that every single one of us is somewhere on that prism in our ultimate need for God.
This was a life changing presentation. Thank you 🙏
Great speech. St. Thomas Aquinas’ thought has come to life so vividly. Brilliantly explained. Addictive
This sort of philosophical analysis was no where to be seen when I went to Catholic school twenty years ago. Just by naming something (beatitudo) helps us to realise what is the greatest desire of our heart. It also gives a certain concreteness to our purpose in life. Thank you once again Bishop Barron for your wise revelations.
There was one video of Bishop Barron doing a talk against “youtube heresies” where he addresses it. It‘s on Jim Malloy’s channel. A good watch
@@48cxy2 thanks
That was an AMAZING talk
So proud of you Bishop Barron! From the time I used the Word on Fire DVDs at our small home prayer group, to your everyday reflections, you are a inspiration and a constant guide on my faith journey.
Bishop Barron, I think this is my favorite talk from you. Everything you say is so true. It warms my heart so much. I pray for all to strive for the true beatitude! And I pray for all Christians to make the message so articulate, generous, accessible, and beautiful. May our lives be a praise of God's love!
Great Job Bishop!
The best talk I ever heard.
Bishop Barron is the answer to our present Catholic depression. May the Lord bless and make him a holy Bishop.
I think justice for victims of child abuse is a better cure than the bloviations of one shameless theologian. An absurd amount of tithing money is going to protecting Christians from any consequences for their actions, and downplaying the harm they caused.
Great talk. I want to thank Google for having Bishop Barron to share this talk. I love that way Bishop Barron gave this talk and is a true blessing to know that Google was willing to be open minded to share this.
As always, clear and very inspiring, rich dose of spiritual food for yearning soul.
Outstanding, thank you so much.
Thank you Bishop Barron for sharing the wisdom of searching for the Mystery of Love with all!
After Bishop Fulton Sheen, another man in Bishop Barron making us proud. Fantastic preacher. May God bless you always.
Hey Google people. I found this talk amazing. Is it possible to have it translated into other languages? Thank you so much.
This is great. Thanks.
Bishop Barron at his best and you have to know in a somewhat hostile environment. At the very least in a room full of ultra-educated skeptics Buddhists, Hindus, New Agers, Protestants etc. He closes with Thomas Aquinas's argument for God's existence. Priceless!! There are a lot of folks AT Google that then went back to their desks and GOOGLED Aquinas and his argument for the existence of God which will cause a curiosity which will cause further intellectual inquiry which will lead to careful consideration which will be followed by conscious contemplation and even debate which will then lead to the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. This guy should be our next Pope. The world would be Catholic as Christ intended. (Jn. 17-21)
Thomas Aquinas arguments for god doesn't hold any validity in a scientific sense and in addition appeals to fallacies (special pleading) making them invaluable in debates. These people are there to learn about other peoples believes. Nothing is in it's entirety true or false, that also goes for religion. So naturally, there is a lot of wisdom in any religion meaning there is also a lot to be learned by non religious people.
Great the truth is God love is from God to God wonderful speaker honest is God!
Bishop explains the urge of finite spirit. What is spirit? Spirit is combination of two faculties i.e. the intellect and the will. The intellect thinks to have thoughts to learn truth and the will seeks satisfaction. With will we love and with intellect we think. There is a difference between God who is spirit and soul which is a spirit. Man and angel are finite spirit and God is infinite spirit. GOD has infinite intellect and infinite will. I love Bishop Barron.
Thank you Bishop Barron!
Gift of the Godly gab.
Always closer to the 'beatitudo'!
Excellent, your excellency. Well done.
I love this! Bishop Baron is so good at being excepting of all people. He says that every sinner including me would say this. He makes it clear that he is a sinner as well as you and me he’s not saying he’s better than us. And when he talks about other religions, he says what they might believe and he says yes we agree with that. He doesn’t pick fights over what we do not agree with, he only mentions what we agree with. It is so wonderful every time I listen to you, Bishop Baron!
Simple beautiful. Everyone should watch this video.
I love this video. Bishop Barron provides a wonderful bridge between those who might be more secular to those who may be more religous. As a result we all get a glimpse and taste of a rich religous perspective.
Awesome as always Your Lordship and "Wow" Google Talks! Thanks for popping up this 4 year old post which is valid and evergreen for all who have a loving and serving desire! And ultimately serve our creator God!!
Thank you so much for a clear and unapologetic presentation of how the world and God's truth naturally fit together.
Such a great speaker. You know this crowd is full of atheists, but he is able to project a common question of the meaning of life. Very engaging.
Interesting to watch the body language after the Eastern belief was brought up. I like Bishop Barron, found him somehow on facebook in July 2021. His voice is pleasant to listen to and he is clear and concise. I was watching him on another page and copied the link to come here. *note to self - St. Thomas Aquinas
Thank you Bishop and Thank you Google. Awesome lecture
I have been following Bishop Barron for some time and am very happy to see him speaking at Google in Seattle, a great City.
This is a direct counter to human advancement
How so?
thank u Bishop Barron!
Great talk, enlighted words, praised be the Lord!
Bishop Baron, you are Heaven Sent!
Praise God for your gift Bishop!
May GOD always protect Bishop Barrin from evil
Respect to Google for having him on!
Thank you so much! Wonderful talk. I learned that we re all thirsting for something in our lives. Let us thirst for Christ.
