0:00.0	Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, live on Serious XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.
0:07.0	Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to'm Megan Kelly.
0:14.0	Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show.
0:16.0	On this Good Friday, we are bringing you a special show with Bishop Robert Barron.
0:21.0	He is one of the most followed Catholics in the world on
0:25.5	social media and has been named one of the church's best messengers. We'll dive
0:31.9	into why and we'll dive into what's happening in our
0:36.1	culture from a historical perspective, all sorts of things to get to including
0:40.9	actor Shiah Labuff's recent confirmation with the Bishop into the Catholic faith.
0:49.6	Bishop Baron, welcome to the show.
0:51.2	Thanks for having me on. Oh, it's wonderful to have you.
0:54.0	And this is airing on Good Friday as we go into Easter weekend and you know, just let's kick it off with what you think Catholics and Christians should be thinking about on a day like this.

1:27.0	And that means there's something really off with us.
1:30.0	The cross of Jesus is a judgment on the world.
1:33.4	So whenever we're tempted to say, you know, everything's fine, I'm okay, you're okay, don't worry about it.
1:38.0	We hold up the cross of Jesus to say, no, all is not well with us they killed him 2,000 years ago and if we're honest if he came back now we do the same thing and so
1:50.2	it's a reminder of our sin, but at the same time a reminder that God was
1:56.4	willing to go all the way to the bottom of our dysfunction to find us. So on the cross we also have God identifying himself with the
2:07.7	fallen human race. So it's both those truths that were sinners but that we are saved by a sheer grace. Both of those
2:16.6	truths I think have to be in play as we look at Good Friday.
