    NOTE: If Bishop Barron thinks Lifesite News if a fringe right wing group, then just imagine what he would think of the Resistance.

    Quote
    Los Angeles Auxiliary Bishop Robert Barron hosted an invite-only meeting of Catholic media professionals last week to discuss “disturbing trends in the online Catholic world,” including the rise of “radical Traditionalist” movements that are often marked by personal attacks and vitriolic commentary.

    The private meeting took place July 29 via Zoom and was confirmed to NCR by Brandon Vogt, content director for Word on Fire Catholic Ministries.

    Vogt said the meeting of Catholic media professionals discussed the online behavior of traditionalists who “ruthlessly criticize the pope and bishops, and question the authority of the Second Vatican Council, often to the point of repudiation.”

    While neither Barron nor Vogt specifically identified individuals or organizations responsible for targeted online attacks, much of the criticism directed at Barron has been fueled by fringe right-wing sites such as LifeSiteNews and Church Militant.

    [color=var(--color-neutral-50)]This is not the first time that Barron has puzzled over how to control the fractured nature of online Catholic commentary. [/color][color=var(--color-neutral-50)]In an interview with National Catholic Register earlier this year, he [/color]suggested[color=var(--color-neutral-50)] that bishops may want to consider introducing “something like a [/color][color=var(--color-neutral-50)]mandatum[/color][color=var(--color-neutral-50)] for those who claim to teach the Catholic faith online, whereby a bishop affirms that the person is teaching within the full communion of the Church.”[/color]

    Present on the call were America Media (Jesuits), Catholic News Agency (EWTN), Catholic News Service (US bishops), CruxNow.com (sponsored also by Barron), and Our Sunday Visitor (U.S. National Weekly Newspaper).

    The meeting also spoke about the phenomenon of tabloid news in the Catholic press. White describes the traditionalists more or less correctly as often young Catholics who prefer the traditional liturgy and subscribe to more conservative political beliefs and religious practices.

    In recent weeks, Barron was criticised by Catholic media for defending indefensible parts of Vatican II. Barron reacted by saying that he preferred the online pushback of atheists to certain Catholics. He complained during the meeting that three full-time staff members spend their whole workdays deleting “inappropriate” comments levelled at him.

    • Seems a bit reminiscent of China’s infamous “50 cent army”. For those unaware of what this is, this term is applied to Chinese Internet users who are employed by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) to spread pro-regime propaganda and defend its narratives on Chinese social media platforms.

    • Barron is a heretic, a non-Catholic.  He has repeatedly denied the dogma in public that there is no salvation outside the Church.

    He even said there is "hope" that Hell is empty.  :facepalm:

    • This doesn't surprise me as two videos I posted on YouTube show him saying, "even atheists of good will can make it to Heaven", were reported for "copyright violations" and removed. Each video description and title stated he was an apostate and fake bishop. I guess he got his panties in a bunch over it.

    What a coincidence! That's what the enemy hopes.
    That disgusting notion is an affront to the Holiness of God Almighty.

    Here's most Holy Family monastery talking about that and about how he denies the existence of Adam.  [Of course, MHFM denounces everyone as a heretic, but they're not always wrong.]

    And here, even Michael Voris calls him out:


    Not only does Barron say that Jews can be saved without converting, he also claims that even an atheist can be saved.  Of course, EVERY Catholic theologian taught that AT LEAST the belief in God is required for salvation.  This is clear heresy.  Of course, Voris falls short of the mark himself, but it's saying something that even he calls him out for this.

    And another Michael Vortex on Barron:
