Bishop Barron Presents | Jonathan Pageau - Recognizing Patterns

Friends, in the latest episode of “Bishop Barron Presents: Conversations at the Crossroads,” I talk with Orthodox icon-carver and YouTuber Jonathan Pageau. We had a wonderful conversation about his own religious background, the patterns of Scripture, the importance of the Church Fathers, the Jordan Peterson phenomenon, and more. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.

I am a Confessional Lutheran watching an Eastern Orthodox icon carver talk with a Roman Catholic Bishop about patterns and meaning in Scripture. Perhaps there is hope yet for the unity of Christ's Church. Long live the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church!

Amazing conversation. As an Anglican priest I would LOVE to get my hands on Jonathan’s “symbolic world” New Testament commentary. Seriously. Not kidding.

[tashatash]

I found Jonathan through Jordan and I have never looked back. I never bore of his teaching

[Motomack]

How beautiful to see an Orthodox speaking with a Catholic bishop with such depth and unity of understanding in an enlightening discussion, gives me hope for the future of the inevitable unity of the east and west. Deo gratias!

[andreys]

As a Protestant, I love this. Grateful for these two. God bless.

Once I found Jonathan Pageau through Jordan Peterson, I never went back to Jordan Peterson. I love Peterson for promoting Jonathan Pageau who is a true teacher of the Catholic faith.

Notification set. There are millions of things i can watch, listen to and do this afternoon. Without a doubt I will be listening to this conversation. If anyone out there is not aware of Mr. Pageau, I will promise he is worth your attention.

Lord, if it be your will, unite your Church.

I’m a huge Pageau fan. I love that this conversation is happening. Listening now!!

Genuinely one of the best podcasts/conversations. Thank you both we need more like this.

I am a former Baptist led to the Catholic Church by Ignatius of Antioch, Ireneaus of Lyon, Ambrose of Milan, Augustine of Hippo and Cyril of Jerusalem, among others.

This conversation has potentially altered and changed my life and understanding of just how complex and awesome (hallowed) our faith is. Thank you for bringing me to this channel Jonathan. Very inspiring to dig deeper into the fathers

Thank you both for explaining the typology of the Sacred Scriptures. I can relate to your experiences growing up in the Catholic Church in the 1960s and 1970s. I am a cradle Catholic who lived through the early implementation of Vatican II (which is not the evil infiltration many people say it was), introduction of the birth control bill, and the impact of the sexual Revolution. I saw many Catholics leave the Church and priests and religious abandoned their vocations for the secular world. Lay people joined Pentecostal and Evangelical Churches because they felt they were not being fed by the Catholic Church, and I believe also over divorce and birth control. I think we were all weakly formed Christians and not properly catechized when we were young. I’m only now fully embracing the faith now later in life. This discussion will help others out there who grew up in similar circumstances. God bless you both!

I love how the bishop and Johnathan engaged in apologetics so conversational. Two masters of typology . So cool!

[BlessThisPlanet]

Thank you so VERY much Bishop Barron for doing this interview. ❤❤❤❤❤ you ironically deepen my husbands Catholic faith and practice and opened my eyes to my need for Orthodoxy (Greek) May one day St-Peter and St-Andrew’s Churches unite all the apostolic successions again.
I too am a Quebecker now living in Winnipeg and grew up in this same shadow of the Quiet Revolution (but Catholic charismatic).

How good bishop Barron is at talking with someone who doesn't entirely agrees with him. How well he avoids confrontation, how elegantly he refuses to take offence about the negative comments of his interlocutor and how sincere he is about it!

[andres-lris]

Imma be honest . I have to watch this one more time

[teddyyoung]

This conversation takes my breath away. I'm realizing these connections, of course on a much more elementary level. Blessed are you Lord our God ❤
