Summary

In today’s episode, Bishop Barron fields questions from people all over the world, including:

How do we reconcile love as willing the good of the other with more exclusive love, such as the love between a husband and wife?
Some Protestant theologians say that John 6 is not talking about transubstantiation because this dialogue took place before the institution of the Eucharist. What do you think?
What does the Catholic Church say about predestination and free will?
Why does God need to be worshipped and glorified, and need sacrifices? On human terms, this sounds like his love is conditional and he is insecure.
Can dogma be changed or overthrown?
Was Jesus a socialist?
What are the essential qualities/qualifications needed for evangelism? Degrees or degree program recommendations?

0:00.0	If I were to sit around and say, you know, it really bugs me that I'm not an angel.
0:05.5	I mean, God willed an angel more good than He wills me because God willed the angel a higher
0:10.5	ontological level, a greater perfection of being. Well, I mean, but I don't spend one second worrying
0:17.7	about that. I don't say, oh, I wish I were an angel. No, I mean, God willed me the good that I have.
0:23.2	And I exult in that. And God loved me infinitely as He gave me that good. But looked at objectively,
0:31.2	God can love some more than others.
0:43.0	Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Brandon Vat the host and I'm here with the auxiliary
0:48.4	bishop of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, Bishop, Robert Barron, Bishop Barron. Good to be with you.
0:53.7	Hey, Brandon. It's always a pleasure for me too. Let's update all of our listeners on the latest
0:59.2	with the Word on Fire Bible. Now things have been somewhat chaotic the last few weeks. We kind of
1:04.6	have been hyping and talking about the Bible the last month or two and then it of course launched on
1:11.2	last last week, I think it was something like that. But we launched it within a few hours. All
1:16.9	of the leather copies were sold out a few days later. All the hardcover copies were sold out. We've
1:21.9	still got just a few paperback copies left. And the problem is with this long lead time because of
1:29.2	the high quality of the materials, it's going to take another 14 weeks or something like that for them
1:33.5	to come back and stock. So it's been a little bittersweet for us. I know a lot of you have been
1:37.5	emailing us saying, when can I order? When can I order? When can I get my copy? But I mean, Bishop,
1:42.9	we were both frustrated that we sold out, but happy that we sold out that so many people were
1:47.2	excited about this, right? Yeah, it's a nice problem to have. It is a problem because we want to,
1:52.0	as you say, provide them right now. But we have to wait a bit. But yeah, we were just overwhelmed. We
1:56.3	had, we thought supplies for the whole year of the sale of this thing and within really a few days
2:02.8	they were sold out. So I think there's people to be patient. They're on their way. They're being
