Blog Post 9/08/2024 – The Catholic Thing

 

Bishop Barron wrote in Catholicism, “What is the Catholic thing? ….  I stand with St. John Henry Newman, who said that the great principle of Catholicism is the Incarnation, the enfleshment of God….  ‘The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us’ [John 1:14] that is the Catholic thing.”

Catholicism’s great principle is at once astonishing, gripping, unpretentious, incomprehensible, and a mystery and gift.

Bishop Barron offers us the insight in his work Catholicism, “God condescended to enter into flesh so that our flesh might partake of the divine life, that we might participate in the love that holds the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in communion.” 

 

May God Be Praised.
