From video: Bishop Barron's Controversial Take on Judas
Published: April 2, 2026

Video Description

Recently, Bishop Barron, a well-known US Catholic bishop, wrote an opinion piece titled, "Even Judas?" in which he puts forward a case for why we can hope for Judas's salvation. In this video, I respond to that article and talk about why hopeful universalism makes sense. Furthermore, I respond to one usual critique.
