    Sermon 469 : Religion, Science and the Journey of the Magi : Feast of the Epiphany

    Please click the play button above to listen now.
    The story of the Magi illuminates important dynamics in the relationship of religious conviction and scientific investigation. There need not be any necessary conflict between the religion and science, as wise men of every age are drawn, not only to investigate the wonders of creation, but to draw closer to Christ, through whom all things have been made.

Excellent review of the Ron Howard recent movie, "Angels & Demons".
I too also strongly believe that that there is no real conflict between Judaic-Christian Catholicism (the way I describe myself as a practicing Roman Catholic) and nearly all of "Science".

In fact I see the study of Science and all of human dicoveries of the "secrets" of science confirm the Godhead we believe in.

"Science at its best is revered by religion. Religion is the proper source and goal of all the sciences."

I think you 'whacked the cover off the ball' with this homily, Fr. Baron.

Thank you!

Dear Fr. Barron,

The first time I heard you speak was at my graduation from St. Bernard's School of Theology and Ministry in Rochester, New York in 2005 in which you delivered the keynote. I was blown away then by the clarity of your message, and I still thank God for the wonderful proclaimer of the Gospel that you are for our Church. Thank you for preaching the Word with clarity and integrity. May the anointing of the Holy Spirit continue to fire you with more zeal, so you can continue to fire the whole universe with love for the eternal and life giving Word. God bless you!
