You won’t find a more robust and diverse study of Catholic personalities.īishop Barron’s commentary is illuminating It goes to show that, sometimes, the pivotal players are not just the saints. In fact, some of the personalities are not even saints, which is an extraordinary reality that they had such an effect on Catholicism Instead, the series discusses the players in Catholic history who exerted such an influence on Catholicism that they forever altered the direction of Catholic thought, art, literature, rhetoric, and more. I suppose at first I though to myself that the list of “players” was quite irregular. But after one episode I realized that Bishop Barron and Word on Fire did not just want to make a cursory study of the saints with the most accomplishments or the most popularity. Here’s some items you can look forward to in this awesome new series.Ī variety of topics, times, and personalitiesĮach episode covers a different topic and study (and person, of course) while maintaining continuity of the central message: how this “pivotal player” contributes to Catholicism as we know it. These five “pivotal players” are just that, game changers, and through each episode you’ll learn how each of them contributed the the way we see and know the Church today. To me, this series moved beyond the catechesis of the first Catholicism series, to a horizon focused on the subtleties that set the Catholic culture apart from that of history and the world at large. And through unprecedented HD footage, marvel at the extraordinary art of Michelangelo, from his David statue in Florence, to the Pietà at St. Chesterton left their mark and sparked an English Catholic revival. Catherine of Siena ministered and prayed. Francis gathered a group of friars and revived the Church. Thomas Aquinas lived, learned, and wrote. This series is focussed on highlighting a magnificent composition of five Catholic personalities that enable viewers to gain an appreciation for the development of Catholic thought, art, history, rhetoric, culture, and the literature.
I absolutely love the direct that Word of Fire went with this production.
I’m still getting used to calling him “Bishop Barron” but our priest is still as familiar as ever in this new series. Barron, you’re going to LOVE this new series by Bishop Barron. If you liked the first Catholicism series by Fr. I had a chance to watch the new series from Word on Fire, Catholicism: The Pivotal Players and it is absolutely stunning. It was a fabulous night and I was hooked on the content from Word on Fire from then on. When I chose to convert to the Catholic Church in 2012, my very first RCIA class gathered to watch an episode of Catholicism by Father Robert Barron.
