“Church Exists to Convert” — Shawn Ryan on Demonic Attacks

Bishop Robert Barron has issued a forceful defense of the Church's mission to evangelize, challenging Cardinal Jean-Paul Vesco's assertion that Christians should approach other religions through fraternity rather than seeking conversions. Referencing Christ's command to "make disciples of all nations," Barron argues that proclaiming the Gospel is central to the Church's identity, not an optional activity. He invokes St. Paul's missionary zeal and the Second Vatican Council's emphasis on bringing Christ to the world, warning against abandoning evangelization in the name of dialogue.

The program also highlights the detention of Canadian pro-family activist Bill Whatcott in the United States after he fled Canada following a court conviction related to flyers distributed during a Toronto Pride event. According to MassResistance, Whatcott was arrested at the Sweetgrass border facility, transferred to an ICE detention center in Tacoma, Washington, and lost his legal representation. Additional stories report that organizers of a Latin Mass pilgrimage were denied their previously booked venue for next year's conference. Cardinal Gerhard Müller's reported opposition to rainbow flags in the Church and questions about the Gates Foundation's sponsorship of the Assisi interreligious meeting are also covered.
