Bishop Robert Barron is the bishop of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester and the founder of Word on Fire Catholic Ministries. His website, http://www.WordOnFire.org, reaches millions of people each year, and he is one of the world’s most followed Catholics on social media. His YouTube videos have been viewed over 125 million times, and he has over 3 million followers on Facebook. Bishop Barron joins host Alex O'Connor to discuss the "crisis of meaning" we might be living through, the reducibility of purpose to evolutionary drives, the conditions for salvation on Christianity, and whether God can be accurately described as analogous to a tyrannical dictator. ----------------- LINKS ------------------ Alex's previous debate with Bishop Barron: https://youtu.be/aC9tKeJCJtM Bishop Barron's Website: https://www.wordonfire.org/ ---------- TIMESTAMPS ------------ -------SPECIAL THANKS --------- As always, I would like to direct extra gratitude to my top-tier patrons: Itamar Lev Evan Allen John Early Dmitry C.
