Part of the problem is that we religious people, I think we've wrung our hands too much,

we've, you know, the scandals and everything else, and we've kind of retreated to the sidelines,

or we enter the conversations very defensively. We shouldn't. We represent, as you say,

these ancient traditions that have fed, in fact, and shape Western culture.

We should not be in a position of hand-ringing

apologetics, but of bold proclamations.

Bishop Robert Barron is a renowned Catholic theologian and author, often cited as the Bishop

of the Internet for his innovative approach to evangelization in the modern world.

Through his Word on Fire ministry, Bishop Barron produces and publishes books, documentaries, sermons, and podcasts that spread the gospel to over 200 million viewers online.

The bishop's distinctive articulation of faith, culture, and philosophy is also featured here

at The Daily Wire in Dr. Jordan B. Peterson's latest series Foundations of the West.

While exploring sites across Rome like St. Peter's Cathedral and the catacombs,

Jordan and Bishop Barron discussed the church's pivotal role in shaping Western civilization as

we know it. In today's episode, Bishop Barron and I dissect contemporary myths about traditional

religion and delve into the underlying presumptions of a secular society. The bishop also

highlights the ideological tension between virtue and freedom and how the pursuit of unqualified liberty is not as useful as we may think. Bishop Robert Barron's monumental

contributions to our modern conversations around faith and culture inspire both believers and

seekers alike. Stay tuned and join us for another excellent discussion on this episode

of the Sunday special.

Bishop, thanks so much for taking the time. Really appreciate it.

Thanks, Ben. Always good to be with you.

So let's talk about Foundations of the West. That's a series that we both had a chance to participate in with Jordan Peterson. I took him around Jerusalem for an episode.
