Friends, this Christmas season, I invite you to watch episode 1 of the CATHOLICISM series. The birth of Christ is the fulfillment of the Old Testament. The kingdom of God is at hand. The ancient Israelites ardently expected Yahweh to accomplish four great things, and Christ accomplished these four things in the most unexpected way, and it all starts with Christ—fully human, fully divine—becoming man; a king born in a manager, not surrounded by riches and guards.

    I've been on a journey of finding faith for a while now. I went from generic non-denominational rock concert churches, to an Anglican church that resembles Catholicism, then today for the first time I attended a Catholic Mass. When the host was consecrated I began to tremble with fear. I've never felt that way before at other churches "communions". I began to just pray over and over again, "have mercy on me Lord, I'm unworthy to be in your presence". I've left a voicemail with the religious education office to begin RCIA when it starts back up. Please pray for me as I walk this new path of my journey.

    One like button is not enough for this video. Ad majorem Dei gloriam!

    This is incredible, I had no idea his Excellency made such a high quality documentary all those years ago. Can't wait for more episodes!!! God bless you dear Bishop.

    Bishop Barron helped me come into Catholicism and I’m so thankful for it. The church has added so much to my life.
  • I can't even begin to express the impact the Catholicism series had on me. I grew up bemoaning and resenting the fact that all Catholic content I ever saw was cheap, corny, outdated and cringe inducing. This was the first time in my life I felt proud of Catholic media content. Bishop Barron created someone worthy of the goodness, truth, and beauty of the Catholic faith. God bless him for that.
  • as a new Christian from Turkey this touch my soul more than anything at this time of Christmass. I love all my brothers. We will get back the holly land

    I never realized that "awe" and "fear" are the two most prominent emotions i have in my journey in faith.
  • As a european roman catholic ,it always strikes me how easily Catholicisme is mis understood and judged upon. ..😔😔❤️✌️♥️🙏🕊❤️

  • @juliesheard2122
    I am at present becoming a Catholic; I found this so very helpful.
  • What a gift to all Catholics and those that are believers in Jesus. So powerful. Thank you
  • @susanekuhn9798
    I'm watching this during Lent 2024 after binge watching the first three seasons of The Chosen. This video crystalizes for me who Jesus was and is from the Catholic perspective. Rev Bishop Barron weaves the life of Jesus with the prophecies of the Old Testament in a way that few people realize actually foretold Christ's coming and the reason for His coming. I knew this but the way Rev. Barron describes it-made it so REAL to me. Thank you Rev. Barron!!!

    I love this Church. :) I can doubt so many things in this world, but I find safe ground in the Catholic Church.
  • @sheahennessy6644
    Barron is gifted as a great teacher. And he knows his stuff. Amen and thankyou Father.
  • @jorklind
    Our RCIA was a little behind because the normal catechist came down with an illness, so we watched these videos while a new catechist came up to speed. Watching this again brings back warm memories.
  • @joshuaapareceTV
    Bp. Barron did an incredible job in evangelizing thru social media. Let's pray for him.🙏🙏🙏
  • @caivail4614
    This documentary played a pivotal role in my path to the Christian faith several years ago, from hedonism and the occult. I’m now a catechumen in the Eastern Orthodox Church, but will be forever grateful to Bishop Barron for helping me let go of the fear and unearned bitterness against catholicism and showing me that the path to Christ can be paved with intellect, beauty, and depth in a way I had not previously seen. Without this unique evangelism I would not have found the true church nor the faith I have now that has brought me so much strength, comfort, awe and love through extremely challenging times. Thank you all for making this available and free to the public, I pray that it will move and inspire many others as it did to me.
