This man is so brilliant. He sparked in me a serious study of Catholicism, causing me to become a RCIA candidate to become a Catholic at the ripe age of 66.

As a Protestant, I appreciate Bishop Barron's respectful way of discussing this issue and his clear explanation on why the Catholic Chuch differs from the Reformers.

I just converted to the Roman Catholic Church from Lutheranism 3 weeks ago.  It may be the 500th anniversary of the Reformation but it is the 100th anniversary of Fatima.

I'm a protestant from the UK and what we mean by grace alone is that it is only through the power of God we are saved, not through our own actions so that no-one can boast.  But we still believe that we need to say yes to God, to accept His divine gift although the freedom to do that is also by grace.  He stands at the door and knocks, our only contribution is to open the door and that is also helped by grace.  But once God is in our hearts and our lives, then the works pour out, not as a way to salvation but as a sign of it. This is what the letter of James is talking about I think.  With God's love alive in our hearts the work of God flows through us naturally and if it doesn't then there is an issue with our faith.  We certainly don't teach any nominalism. God is Being Itself and us, and the rest of His creation, are the things that he has made.  He is uncreated, of a different order to creation, outside of creation and yet intimately involved with it.
With Luther, I think God wanted his people to know the principle of gratia prima and called Luther to do it.  But like all humans called to do God's work Luther was imperfect and I see nominalism as part of that.  

BTW Thank-you for your videos Bishop Barron - they are very helpful.

God I love that jingle at the beginning.

A pitch perfect presentation, Bishop Barron.

I would love to hear Bishop Barron speak on the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification by the Lutheran World Federation and the Catholic Church.  And also a video encouraging Christians to read the early Church Fathers.

Bishop Barron, you are so kind. It's reassuring that you are able to see some good in a movement that was definitely quite antagonistic towards Catholicism. I hope that there are some Protestant leaders who are able to say, "Well, I don't agree 100% with Catholicism, but I really like their teaching of _____".  I'm certainly not a leader, but I'm going to go ahead and say that though I don't agree with Catholicism 100%, I love your practice of confession. I wish there was a regular opportunity to confess sins to a mature Christian at my Protestant church. I think saying our sins out loud really helps us to focus on them and turn to God to escape them.

I hope by now you are a Catholic. I became a Catholic  when I was 22 years old. I went through a lot of tears and pain to leave the Protestant church. I also went through much research and reading from both Catholics and Protestants. I could not help noticing the peace once I became Catholic. It is so hard to describe but I know I am not alone in describing this peace that I could not find find in the Protestant church. I am now in my middle age. I feel so blessed everyday that I am Catholic. It is like seeing a bit of Heaven on Earth. God bless!

"Luther & company" lmao This guy is awesome.

Fascinating. Makes me understand my own Scots Calvinist heritage, and why I struggle with it. I intuitively agree with the ipsum esse understanding of God.

Thank you very much for all you videos Your Grace, I'm currently considering becoming a catholic (currently I'm lutheran) and your videos are one of the reasons for it. Could I ask you a favour? Could you maybe make a video about why one should become catholic? Obviously I do have my own reasons, but I'm sometimes struggling to keep up my determination knowing that my family is very unhappy about my decision. A bit of encouragement and a few good arguments for discussions would be very helpful :)

Dearest Carlos, we seek truth and to understand. I do not seek to debate to win, only our souls united with God, and to be brothers walking in Him

As a Baptist pastor, I think that the Bishop did a  great job on explaining the reformation from a Catholic view and how Catholics see the reformation  I really enjoyed it.

I was raised Lutheran, but always held a profound reverence for Catholicism.  Many of my deepest relationships over the years have been with Catholics, and I attend Mass from time to time
out of a great awe and respect for the tradition.
Bishop Barron, who I follow, is a great Theologian and cultural observer. I pray for the reconciliation of the Universal Church and a restoration of all Saints
at the end of all things.

Great video bishop barron. Speaking as an Anglican I think one of the differences is more along the lines of the definition of justification. In protestant ism justification and sanctification are seen as 2 distinct things. In catholicism they are the same. This touches the Sola gratia principle because protestants stress we can't earn gods grace, but once given we let it flow through our lives in the process of sanctification. One of the problems on  the protestant side though is people interpret Sola gratia to mean what Dietrich bonhoeffer called "cheap grace". Luther condemned that view in the version on the antinomian heresy actually writing 250 theses against it.

The clarity with which you convey the spirit of the reformers is almost as stunning as the way you find there is goodness in it. You are in my prayers as are all of the princess of the church. God bless and Mary keep you. St Joseph protect the church. St Jacinta thank you for suffering so much in reperation for words such as these.

God Bless Bishop Barron! Many thanks, keep up the good work of preaching the Gospel on the YouTube channel.

I wish I could have been in his classes. Wow.

Could you do a Video on John Calvin?
