Stand-up comedian and podcaster Theo Von recently hosted Bishop Robert Barron as his guest on his podcast This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von. The comment section of the episode features a variety of thoughts from viewers ranging from pleasantly surprised, to earnestly grateful, to overwhelmingly moved to revisit or discover the truth of Catholicism. Here is a highlight of the top twenty-five comments.
Hey Theo, thank you! After watching this podcast I did alot of self reflection. I went to confession yesterday and also went to mass. It had been very long since I confessed and God knows I needed it. I broke down and came out new. I really thank you because if it wasn’t for this podcast I probably wouldn’t have gone to confession or back to church. The evil one wants us to stay away from God don’t let him. God bless you all!

Theo this was a wonderful show. I’m Catholic and have been struggling. This show helped me very much and I shared it so others can hear it. Great communication between you and the Bishop. Thank You! God Bless You Always and God Bless Your viewers. There is a Christian Revolution going on all around us if you look closely and get the algorithms to adjust to good stuff rather than bad stuff. Again thank you for this I learned some stuff I didn’t know and that’s a great thing. You asked some very pertinent questions ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I just converted this year although I had been a closet Catholic for eight or nine years converted by Bishop Barron in his YouTube videos Plus his YouTube sermons and I bought many of his books watched lectures talks I bought his Bibles and now I am a very happy Christian Catholic

Bishop Barron’s YouTube channel was a huge part of my conversion to Catholicism in 2021. Theo, praying that you would become Catholic.
—Zach D.
Bishop Barron brought me fully back into the God and the Catholic faith last year with his online ministry. I owe it all to him. He is a treasure and a future Saint.

I was born in a deeply Catholic family and went to a Catholic school in Peru. I then left the Catholic church and joined other churches. I came back a year ago thanks to an interview of Bishop Barron with Tucker Carlson.

Bishop Barron was a big part of my reversion to Catholicism. So is so good at explaining the high level philosophy, theology, and traditions of the church at a level the average person can grasp. I did not expect to see him on this platform, but I would urge anyone who was interested in this conversation to explore more of his work. It had a big impact on the direction of my own life.

As a Catholic in Ireland 🇮🇪, I am wishing you the best Theo. Thanks for having bishop Barron on 🙏 he really helped me get back to the faith after decades away. I love Theo’s honest questioning style
—K****e
I attended Catholic schools for 12 years, and church for my entire 38 years and these were the BEST explanations I’ve ever heard about Catholics and their relationship with God. Theo’s curiosity is so pure and genuine – I even let my 11 year old listen to this episode and he got SO much from it!
—Dany E.
I love Bishop Baron. He played a key role in my conversion to Catholicism.

Same here, in 2021, Bishop Barron was a big part of my reconversion. Praise God!

I sent in a recommendation to bring on Fr Mike or Bishop Barron a long time ago and Praise be to God that the day has come!! Bishop Barron is one of the voices that helped me contemplate converting to Catholicism and I’m so grateful for his content. Can’t wait to see this!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Bishop Barron was my gateway drug to Catholicism
—C*************t
I’m not religious but this was a great episode. Got me rethinking things.
—Aaron C.
At 48 minutes. Talking about external influences that draw you toward goodness. Feels meta. Because this podcast feels like its going to influence a lot of people. Im not sure if im agnostic anymore….

I was raised a Protestant and always taught that Catholics may as well not even be Christians. To a Baptist a catholic may as well be a Muslim, but this guy just gave me the best explanation for God permitting suffering that I’ve ever heard. He allowed me to just somewhat start to maybe wrap my head around it.
—Ryan B.
Wow, this is an interview I never thought I’d see on this channel lol. I’m not Catholic, but Bishop Barron helped me to see the fruits of the Catholic faith. He’s a shining light in this dark world.

Thank you Theo! Never thought Id be trying to find God at 39, but this is exactly what I need. A good sit down, one on one with a priest. Makes a connection to God seem obtainable
—Drew R.
Holy. I cannot even begin to tell you what was happening to me on the drive across state lines listening to this. As a spiritual but not religious person I had been having the whisper of Jesus for a while now. This podcast made me feel things.
—Nicole P.
I am not religious and have listened to and heard many speakers about religion who just absolutely failed and were so vague and defensive and stubborn and useless. This guy is great. Makes you think.
—P*****9
Something about Bishop Barron just chills me out. I want to believe but I struggle with it. Great interview. Father Mike would be great too.
—J******i
First time listener and I got to say what a good interview! I’ve been struggling and need to go back to my faith. Thank you for interviewing him! 👏 👏
—Lupe J.
I’ve been drawn to Catholicism more and more this past year. First Sean Ryan and now Theo. God is calling
—Kent
I’m not a catholic but I am a Christian and I love Bishop Barron. He has taught and guided me so much in my faith journey. God bless him and God bless Theo for having him on and for being so open and honest. I love the way he calls the Bishop “dude” 😂 and a bishop Barron just takes it all in his stride. What a dude!!!

I never once thought in my life as a 31-year-old Millennial that I would be seeing Cardinals, Bishops, and Exorcists on popular podcasts and that I would be in the middle of a Catholic resurgence for young people. My entire childhood and young
