Pope Leo XIV tells ALS sufferers that "the quality of human life is not dependent on achievement. The quality of our lives is dependent on love."

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

I first met Charlie Kirk about four years ago when I was in Phoenix for a speaking engagement. He reached out and invited me to breakfast. I was deeply impressed by him that day. He was a man of great intelligence, considerable charm, and real goodness of heart.  

I reconnected with him just last year, after I saw him debate twenty-five young people who were, to put it mildly, hostile to his views. I texted him that I was so struck by how he kept his cool and his charitable attitude in the face of some pretty obnoxious opposition. I then asked him to appear as a guest on my interview program, “Bishop Barron Presents,” and he eagerly accepted my invitation. He was scheduled to come to Rochester, Minnesota in about ten days. The last contact we had was two nights ago. After I appeared on one of the evening news shows to talk about the Religious Liberty Commission, he texted me and told me how much he appreciated what I said and then added, “I’m excited to join you on your show soon. God bless you.”  

That last sentence shows what was most important to Charlie. He was indeed a great debater and also one of the best advocates in our country for civil discourse, but he was, first and last, a passionate Christian. In fact, when we had that breakfast in Phoenix, we didn’t talk much about politics. We talked about theology, in which he had a deep interest, and about Christ. I know I’m joining millions of people around the world in praying that he rests now in the peace of the Lord.

The division in the church surrounding TLM is ugly and goes both ways.
From clergy that treat people who love TLM like second class citizens in their own church, to people who love TLM and treat everyone else in the exact same way. (That’s not everyone, I know, but a rising % on both sides during the last 12 years.)
We desperately need to grow beyond angry tweets and cold directives to real repentance, real conversations, and real reconciliation. On all sides.
But it starts with a desire for unity, which you can’t have if you hold those on “the other side” in distain. Look down on them. Presume to know them. Presume you’re personally better than…
Maybe I’m wrong. I’m no liturgist. But I think the Liturgical renewal God intends will be found in the middle, if we have the love and humility to meet each other there. Myself included.
I’m praying and fasting for this kind of renewal.

Thank you for this @thomasdowd_ca My own father died of ALS when I was just 18mths old. Your words describe a death very similar to my my own fathers, and remind me again of the grace and life God has given through such tragedy. Thank you, from one ‘brother’ priest to another!

An update on the Fall 2020 term: All classes will be online. With few exceptions, students will not need to be on campus. We want everyone to be safe, to have the support they need, and to be confident our decisions are based on public health advice. 1/ https://t.co/PURav1EH4v
