Somone would perform a great service by taking this video and editing out Barron and letting Shia speak.  I've only listened to the first 10-15 and Shia tried several times to start discussing his conversion, and Barron kept trying to make him talk about acting.  I'm guessing that the edit would make it 65% shorter.

It really shows you where Barron's heart lies

It's interesting how Barron is viewed as "conservative" when he has denied the historicity of Sacred Scripture

The "goal posts" or whatever you want to call it, keep shifting.

What is liberal today is conservatism tomorrow.

Shia seems deeply spiritual and discerning, and Barron seems so pretentious and "Hollywood".
I think Barron was hoping for less intense conversion speak and more woke pop-culture conversation. I think the depth of it made Barron a little uncomfortable.

Conversion is one thing, living as a Catholic is another. I hope someone tells him of the commandments of God and of His Church. That is the condition of a conversion.

Russia?

I had a thought: maybe he'll have a vocation to the priesthood and donate all he has earned in Hollywood to build a chapel or start a free Catholic school. Who knows? He shows a deeper love of God and His Holy Mass in one person than most of these very lax Novus Ordo folk in a lifetime.

I wouldn't count on it anytime soon.  He has a newborn daughter, and even though he is not married, I have to think that any bishop, canonical or otherwise, would balk at ordaining a man who has responsibilities towards a minor child.  Even though that child will obviously be cared for financially, and cared for very well in that respect, there is far more to being a father, than just paying the bills.

I know from my own experience that it's a full-time job, and any child deserves the best from his or her parents, financial and otherwise.  His vocation might have to wait a couple of decades.

As a side note, my son took me to task the other day, in a very erudite argument for a teenager, for having sinfully used NFP for many years to avoid having a child.  He reminded me that if he'd been born in 1995, he'd be 27 years old now, and he'd rather be 27 than 15.  He was absolutely in the right, though I reminded him that he wouldn't be "him", in that every time you combine the 23 and the 23 chromosomes, a unique individual is created.  His point, however, was inescapable.  He also wanted to talk about penance and what constitutes it.   He was the one who brought it up.  A young Jean Vianney in the making?

I missed it, in his Padre Pio movie trailer, where he acts out the Saint telling a woman to: “Shut the F up!”

This is a big red flag 🚩

Italian temper? Yes.
But since Padre Pio was uniquely graced with a supernatural stigmata very early in his priesthood, I absolutely doubt he uttered the F bomb.

In addition, if you have read Chiesa Viva’s research and expose’ on the masonic Padre Pio shrine, you will understand that our Saint is a special target of the devil.

The fact that Shia is Jєωιѕн and has been mentored by Mel (Marrano) Gibson are more red flags 🚩 🚩

As you may recall, in Gibson’s “Passion of Christ” he brought to life the Protestant heresy of Our Lord crushing the head of the serpent, when in fact, that act is an exclusive license of Our Lady.

Gibson knew what he was doing when he created that scene. 

And if Shia is a zealous convert to tradition, as he wants us to believe, he wouldn’t have done the F bomb scene.

The saint does not say that. Just some extra in a scene unrelated to Pio. Watch the trailer instead of rashly judging.

Sorry- I just wanted to put the URL to the video and not post the whole video due to the language
