Shebna and Peter: The Nature of Authority
by Bishop Robert Barron . August 23, 2020 .
In the twenty-second chapter of the book of the prophet Isaiah, we find the prophet’s only criticism of an individual. The man in the prophet’s crosshairs is a certain Shebna, who is described as “master of the palace.” He is a high-ranking authority in the government of the people. This…
Bishop Barron on Spending Time with His Spiritual Father
by Bishop Robert Barron . February 13, 2020 .
In this new video commentary, I reflect on my “ad limina” visit with Pope Francis on January 27. It would be impossible to summarize what turned out to be a three-hour conversation with the Holy Father, but there were three dominant themes that emerged.
Spending Time with My Spiritual Father

Este desequilibrio socava fatalmente la película,…
