Bishop Robert Barron: None of Us Would Be Here without the Conversion of St. Paul

St. Paul the Apostle is known as possibly the most prolific author in the Bible. At Mass inside St. Mary's Chapel at The Saint Paul Seminary, Bishop Robert Barron explains how Saul's conversion on the road to Damascus set in motion the evangelical task of every Christian today.

ST. TERESA OF LISIEUX: “How great a joy it is to know that God makes allowances for our weaknesses and understands perfectly the frailty of our humanity. God our Father loves us always, absolutely, unfailingly, eternally.”

Clear and faithful teaching. So refreshing.

Watching these videos is a great way to begin my day and put me in the right frame of mind and fully spiritually awake.

[deanryanmartin]

This is the reason why Apostle Paul is my all-time favorite character of The Holy Bible.

A peaceful hard hitting message. Hits you right between the eyes.

This shows how polarizing Paul was, even today. This has been out for a week, and only 26 comments which is very unlike the Bishops other videos. Are people scared of Pauls teachings?He said some very hard things yes but I believe the Bishop, where would the Church have gone with out his conversion?

[michellewahl]

What, yet another interesting twist on the Gospel. I grew up thinking: "What is up with that Saul- he had to be struck blind before he followed the Lord?"
Phffsha!! Only took me 3/4s of my life- and I still need to pray everyday and not hear. Re-read in the light of the Crucifixion and Resurrection. Christ is both Man and Devine- as would be his blood. Thought Mark was the Evangelist- wasted Catholics school. Beautiful- Thanks Bishop Barron.

Paul a vision driven missioner defended the risen lord

[garygilliam]

Paul was imprisoned for such a long time because he and his family were also Roman citizens, and therefore had the legal rights of a Roman citizen. He could be convicted, but he also had the right to appeals, which he used to the fullest extent and was able to walk freely and teach the word of God throughout Roman controlled territories until his final appeal was denied.
He was then beheaded.

because religious leaders and world kings put him under law judgement.

Why can't God just send us all a Damascus vision?

[samueljohnpeter]

Why should we ask apostle Paul?

Shouldn’t we ask Christ ?

[howardgootkin]

Why would Saul regard the early Christians as heretics or evil. They at worst would have been a sect within rabbinic Judaism which they practiced
Paul created out of whole cloth a new belief system regarding the Messiah and his function just as he created out of whole cloth a new belief system regarding monotheism which was anathema to that of rabbinic Judaism which tolerates no divisions in the Godhead

Saul trained in "rhetoric and philosophy" was not trained in chemistry, organic and inorganic, as is Pope Francis in his consecrated celibate marriage vowed to man in Christ, or in economics as was Colin Clark in his consecrated male female marriage vowed to God also trained in chemistry.
Colin Clark with his son trained in both roles, joined in both identities successively male female then celibate on the death of his wife, transmitted the reference point of Mary at Lk 1:29-45 and Mt 1:24 to Pope Francis' consecrated celibate marriage in it keeping in uncertainty of his belief on 17 June 2021 its inseparability and qualitative equality with consecrated male female marriage in it ensuring in the case of Cardinal Becciu + 9 Vatican state citizens/employees embezzlements of his procreation role gift charity donations and simultaneously insuring in the case of the "Zan" Italian Parliament anti-homophobia bill unacceptable risk of fraud on his need of union of its identity.
