Is Fr. Robert Barron a Product of the "New Evangelization"?

Fr. Robert Barron at Real Clear Religion wrote a column, “No good without God.”

Most Catholics of a conservative bent would undoubtedly consider Fr. Barron’s reflection an unimpeachable representation of sound Catholic thought.

In truth, however, it’s really just more of the same quasi-nondenominational religious speak that has come to define the “New Evangelization” as our churchmen, from your local deacon all the way up to the highest offices in Rome, tiptoe around the objective truth that the Holy Catholic religion stands above any other, and that Christ the King, her Divine Founder, is the one true God who reigns above the many false gods of the world.

Where does this aversion to actual evangelization (i.e., evangelization as the Apostles would recognize it) come from?

In large measure, it is the result of the so-called “American contribution” to the Second Vatican Council!

Catholic men of weak constitution, including churchmen, have for many centuries succumbed to the temptation to court worldly popularity by placing our Holy Catholic religion, in some manner or form, on an equal plane with the many false religions, but the teaching Church, under the guidance of faithful popes, has ever sought to correct such dangerous errors.

So then, Gandhi is in hell because he was not Catholic? Well, at least according to your theory, he must be. Peace toy always in the Most Precious Blood of Christ

Well, since faith alone in Jesus does not justify anyone before Him, (1 Corinthians 13:2, Matthew 7:21, John 13:34,35, Matthew 19:17, Ephesians 5;5,6,6), we shall each receive as our works deserve. (Matthew 25:35,42, John 5:29, Revelation 2:23, Matthew 16:27). This we have learned from Christ's Church that He built on Peter the rock, the same Church that gave us the new testament canon. Peace always …More

Father Barron speaks the truth, for he affirms that anyone seeking the truth, is actually seeking Jesus
You and Fr. Barron can tell that to Islamic terrorists who blow Christains up in their pursuit of "truth."

You are simple-minded and incorrigible.
Christ founded only one Church his Church — on Peter, with the guarantee of indefectibility in the face of the persecutions, divisions and obstacles of every kind which she would encounter in the course of history (cf. Mt 16:18). Therefore, only one Church exists, which we confess, in the Creed as "one, holy, Catholic and apostolic".Lumen Gentium

"False irenicism is motivated by a misconceived charity at the service of a meaningless unity. It places unity above truth. Having severed the essential link between charity and defense of the truth, irenicism is more concerned with reaching a unity with all men than with leading them to Christ and His eternal truth. It ignores the fact that real unity can be reached only in truth. Our Lord’s prayer ‘that they may be one’ implies being one in Him and must not be separated from His words in John: ‘And other sheep I have that are not of this fold. Them also I must bring and they shall hear my voice. And there shall be one fold and one shepherd.’"

Was Mother Teresa, she who served anyone that was sick and outcast, not just only 'the saved", was she also "guilty" of the new evangelization accusation, for saying that if one is a Muslim, to be a good Muslim, and if one is Hindu, to them to be a good Hindu?

Yet, Father Barron speaks the truth, for he affirms that anyone seeking the truth, is actually seeking Jesus, for Jesus is indeed the ONLY Truth, and there is ONLY one God, yet of course, faith alone in Jesus does not justify anyone before God, (1 Corinthians 13:2, Ephesians 5;5,6, Matthew 7:21, James 2:24),

Both the above article and the full article at the link do not question Fr. Barron's faith. It questions the "new evangelization" of which he is a proponent.

I believe that Father Robert Barron does speak the truth, as he states anyone searching for truth, is actually searching for Jesus, Who is the Truth, God the Eternal Son. Father Barron also believes in the true presence of Christ in the eucharist, Mary, the mother of God and the Queen of Heaven, our mother, and the primacy of Peter, and he also confirms Purgatory and hell. I am grateful the Church …More

Wouldn't need a NEW evangelization if they hadn't ..... 🚬
Never mind.

@AlekZ...agree!

Barron is Not one who follows the tradition of the church. Just because he puts his face out there doesn't mean he has many who agree with him.
