The Responsibility to Follow Him

When Bishop Barron talked about Catholicism as the privileged way, he got a lot of heat. However, looking at it from another perspective, it makes a lot of sense. We have nothing to do with our becoming Catholic, as infants, should that be our Grace. But having that Grace we have been given an advantage, a benefit, that requires a response–to share it, and to live a life that uses the tools of the Church leading us to Paradise. When a Catholic walks away, it is a failure to accept the gift. 

Catholic ”Privilege” and Responsibility

When Bishop Barron said that Catholicism was the privileged way to salvation, he got a lot of heat. But you know, if privilege is an opportunity or an advantage, then to be a Catholic is to bear a deep responsibility, not only to one’s own soul, but to those of others. To die with Jesus really means not merely accepting suffering, but coming, in God’s time, to embrace it, as cooperation in the work of salvation.
