Eye of the Tiber:
Barron Wondering Why Bad Things Happen To Good People
Click to expand...
Just hours after being named auxiliary bishop to the Archdiocese of Los Angeles by Pope Francis, Fr. Robert Barron has reportedly begun contemplating the problem of suffering and why bad things happen to good people. “I just don’t get it,” a despondent Barron told EOTT as he walked sadly along the shore kicking rocks. “I’m not saying I’m a saint or anything, but I’m not an altogether bad guy. I help the poor and I’m genuinely nice to people. I just…I don’t know…I just don’t understand why a good and loving God would allow me to be become a bishop in Los Angeles.”
Barron, who was later quoted as saying that he could finally relate to the character of Job in the Bible, also said that he felt as though he was going through the dark night of the soul.

Is this the same Fr. Barron who did the Catholicism series? I would think he would feel honored to be named Bishop and to serve God’s Church. Why does he think this is bad?

It’s satire, a joke. Eye of the Tiber is like a Catholic version of the Onion.
The story is playing off the truth that while being appointed auxiliary bishop is a great honor it also comes with heavy responsibilities and burdens.
