"Fr. Robert Barron's Catholicism is a few things. It's a cultural response to our challenges as Catholics, as Catholics in a society. It's a reintroduction for someone who has fallen away, for a culture that has. It's a catechism of sorts for those who did not grow up memorizing the Baltimore Catechism, or reading any. It's a starting point. It's a launching pad.
"It's an invitation.
"One of the saddest of sights, to me, is a locked door on a Catholic Church. Mercifully, I find them infrequently. And, all over the world—and all over this country—you can find open doors to the Blessed Sacrament at all hours."
In a recent commentary, Kathryn Jean Lopez (editor-at-large of National Review Online) reflected on Catholicism, a book and associated documentary miniseries by Father Robert Barron.
