Trump Vs. Pope Leo, the Real Threat of Ai & Fraying Social Fabric | Bishop Robert Barron
"I didn't know what to expect. But I had a very good seat right near the front. And will this be like a religious service or is this a political rally or what is it? And it turned out to be, I would say, about 90% religion and 10% politics. What I found most moving was the number of politicians that came out and talked about Jesus and talked about their faith."
Barron attended Charlie Kirk's 100,000-person memorial expecting a political event but found it overwhelmingly spiritual, with politicians speaking about Jesus and how Kirk influenced their faith. He described an extraordinary spirit in the room over the eight-hour service and lamented the splintering that has occurred since Kirk's death, contrasting it with the unity present that day.
