Mind, Meaning, and the Materialists - Bishop Robert Barron new

Published 2024-05-04
Friends, can everything in the world be reduced to atoms bumping against each other, and chemical reactions in our brains? Or is there something more to reality than its material elements?

That’s what Brandon Vogt and I discuss on today’s “Word on Fire Show” episode, with the help of a new book by Justin Brierley, titled The Surprising Rebirth of Belief In God: Why New Atheism Grew Old and Secular Thinkers Are Considering Christianity Again.

A listener asks, if feelings are not acts of the will, what is contrition? A feeling, an act of the will, both, or neither?

    Does the proposition "The natural world is all that there is," carry any ultimate value? No, according to the strict materialist. What self-refuting nonsense.
  • I’m guessing you taught nothing yesterday about Pope Pius v because he is a true pope that taught opposite what you modernist teach.
