Catholic Bishop Robert Barron reviewed the “quite annoying article” of The New Yorker this week in an attempt to downplay the legitimacy of Christianity.
The New Yorker released an article last month with the title “We are still not with Jesus.” Summary of “how scholars debate whether the gospel story retains ancient memories or just disguised Greek literature.” The article focuses on the review of Elaine Pagels’ Miracle and Miracle and analyzes Christianity based on the article, “it concluded that the most unlikely gospel stories attract metaphors and myths to smooth out the situation of inconsistency and inconvenience.”
Bishop Barron laughs in an article Videos shared on social media Try to expose Christianity.
“When I finished reading it, I noticed, ‘Oh, yes, it was in The New Yorker on March 31. It’s almost Easter time.” So, it’s predictable that as the swallow returns to Capistrano, mainstream media usually choose Easter as a time to “debunk” Christianity. ”
The first key fact, he said, is that throughout the article, there is no orthodox Christian citing an orthodox Christian among many scholars of all backgrounds, saying, “The game here is not an objective scholarship, it is very much to attack Christianity.”

Barron then slams many of the “tired” criticisms of Christianity mentioned in the work, which, for example, is based on the “unarranged sources” of Jesus’ life and death.
“Give me some rest,” bishop In his reply video, it was released in mid-Lent. “Jesus was the best person in the ancient world. Our reliable information about Jesus’ history is more reliable than that of Julius Caesar or Alexander the Great or Hammurabi. Does anyone doubt the historicity of these characters?”
He also talked about the article in The New Yorker and mentioned that the four gospels were “considered in Greek 40 to 60 years after the crucifixion.”
“This ancient steak, oh, they wrote it long after the incident.’ “If you pick up a book about the Kennedy assassination in 2003, you’d say, ‘Oh, that’s just a tissue of lies and fabrications and myths?” Oh, that guy, you know, he couldn’t be a witness to the incident. ‘Okay, what is that?
“If you have to be an eyewitness to have any historical authenticity, then we will eliminate every history book that exists,” he said.

After rejecting the cross is a symbol of comforting God’s wrath rather than divine love, Barron points to the last argument he found, and he finds a particular “outrageous”.
Gopnik’s work quotes Professor Rosary Moss, a professor at Notre Dame, “The Myth of Persecution: How Christians invented the Difficult Story.” Gopnik wrote that the book argues that Christianity “established the worship of victims, while obscuring the dissidents and strongly opposed any pluralistic pluralism.”
