Bishop Barron Warns Wokeism Is a Spiritual Sickness Dividing America
Dave Rubin Report
Trump Vs. Pope Leo, the Real Threat of Ai & Fraying Social Fabric | Bishop Robert Barron
What was said
"wokeism is what concerns me the most, and it's a spiritual sickness. And wokeism is the popularization of European critical theory. And critical theory is a very bad acid. And it tore away at some of the foundations of European society, and it's happening in our society."
Barron identified wokeism as his chief concern, calling it a spiritual disease rooted in Nietzsche, Marx, and Foucault that divides society into oppressor-oppressed binaries and brackets objective truth. He argued it is fundamentally opposed to religion and warned clergy who embrace it under the guise of social justice are making a serious mistake that threatens both Christianity and American civic life.
