It's good to see. Props to Bishop Barron.

quote:

Minnesota Bishop Robert Barron sharply criticized Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for dismissing calls for prayer following Wednesday’s deadly Catholic school shooting, calling the mayor’s remarks "completely asinine."

"Catholics don’t think that prayer magically protects them from all suffering. After all, Jesus prayed fervently from the cross on which he was dying," Barron told Fox News Digital.

quote:

"Prayer is the raising of the mind and heart to God, which strikes me as altogether appropriate precisely at times of great pain," he said.

Leftists and atheists, usually one and the same, can't comprehend this.

Bishop Barron is one of my spiritual heroes. Would recommend any Christian—Catholic or Protestant—to watch some of his homilies/podcasts.

Barron is Rockstar in conservative Catholic circles. He will hand this with grace and dignity. As opposed tou yours truly, who would handle it with fire and brimstone!

Yet their city officials allow muslims to blast muslim prayers on loudspeakers 5 times a day.
