I\u2019m clearing out my mailbox and have a bunch of Barronian\/esque\/ite\/ish mail<\/p>\n

Here, f\u2019rinstance is a piece he wrote on \u201cWhy You Need Spiritual Food<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

And here\u2019s another recent piece on why \u201cMother Nature is One Unreliable Lady<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

And here is Bill Doino, Jr., writing on \u201cFather Barron\u2019s Affirmative Faith<\/a>\u201c. He remarks on the piece:<\/p>\n

One of the things I learned in researching this is how close Father Barron\u2019s method of evangelization is to Pope Francis\u2019s. Instead of bursting out of the gate and hitting people hard over the head with the moral and cultural issues\u2013essential as they are\u2013 Father Barron talks about the fundamentals: God, the Trinity, Revelation, the Incarnation, salvation, sin, prayer, and eternal life first. Then he comes charging in, powerfully, as does Francis, with the moral consequences.<\/p>\n

Father Barron understands, as does Francis, that if we expect Catholics to live good moral lives, we have to theologically and spiritually educate them\u2013 and make them better and more committed Christians first\u2013we can also inspire them by highlighting the splendors of the Church, and this is one of Father Barron\u2019s enduring strengths\u2013I\u2019m sure he will be a superb Bishop, and one with an even brighter future after this appointment<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And here is a picture Fr. Steve Grunow sent along recently of Fr. Barron, Brandon Vogt, Fr. Grunow and me on a memorable evening back in 2012.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We spent the evening making\u00a0plans to get Fr. Barron elected bishop and then spring Hitler, Genghis Khan, Nero, and Attila the Hun from hell. <\/span><\/p>\n

Phase one is complete. Proceeding to Phase two.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
