Pope Francis Appointee: What Do Catholics Believe, Really?
For Fr. Barron, the central truth of all Christianity is the Incarnation. It is the shocking notion that God, the Creator and Ground of the Universe, humbled itself to take on human form, to enter into and enhance creation.
Barron says yes, and from there his text marches boldly on to explain and assert the body of Catholic belief as centuries of church authorities have built and elaborated upon it -- beginning with the Incarnation and extending to the Resurrection, Pentecost, the Immaculate Conception of Mary, the apparitions at Lourdes, the communion of saints like Therese of Lisieux and Katharine Drexel, and the doctrines of heaven, hell and purgatory.
Barron also tackles - fearlessly - the Catholic church's age-old understanding of the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, which Barron characterizes as "nothing other than a sacramental extension of the Incarnation across space and time,...

Fr. Barron says, 'It is the shocking notion that God, the Creator and Ground of the Universe, humbled itself to take on human form, to enter into and enhance creation."
I hope "itself" is a typo. Otherwise, Fr. Barron is not a genuine reprobate. He is lost.
For the record. I've have tried to study on Charles Chiniquy, From the information I can find it all appears to be attacks against Charles by Roman catholicism ,( which in itself is testimony ) sorry
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. 5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: 6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: 7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. 8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.

Dave, for reference: The incident mentioned in the post as " the CHRISTIAN CATHOLIC CHURCH SOCIETY CHARTER in St. Ann Chapel, Kankakee County, Illinois, is a fact documented in the book 'Fifty Years in the Church of Rome' by Reverend CHARLES CHINIQUY. Mr Chiniquy was converted to the Gospel being a Priest in the Roman Church and denounced the things you detail above in St Ann's Church to his parishioners. He led his congregation to set a separate church called CHRISTIAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, dropping the word 'Roman'. Aware of the ongoing plots against President Lincoln he made him aware of his peril before his assassination. An informative book.
Scripture please, you challenge with outrageous claims and statements yet won't engage, Pfft. As previously asked of you "please correct me in my errors " to any of the questions I posed . If you were as high and mighty as you claim one would think you would have a loving burning desire to witness the truth. True? Do now's YOUR chance to do " be about the Lords business" May our lord bless you
