I’m excited to be back for my third AMA! I'll be taking questions on Wednesday, April 21, from 2:00pm-3:30pm ET.
I’m here to discuss whatever most perplexes you about God, faith, Catholicism, or the spiritual life. Ask me anything!
I’m Bishop Robert Barron, founder of Word on Fire Catholic Ministries, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, and host of two award-winning film series that have aired on PBS.
I’ve spoken about religion at the headquarters of Facebook, Google, and Amazon. I’ve also enjoyed talking about God with atheists such as Alex O’Connor (aka @CosmicSkeptic) and Dave Rubin.
Earlier this week I shared a wide-ranging dialogue with Jordan Peterson, on his podcast, about God, religion, the Bible, psychology, and the spiritual life.
I received a master’s degree in philosophy from the Catholic University of America in 1982 and a doctorate in sacred theology from the Institut Catholique de Paris in 1992. I served as a visiting professor at the University of Notre Dame and at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas, and was twice scholar in residence at the Pontifical North American College at the Vatican.
In 2018, I became the first Catholic Bishop to host a Reddit AMA.
In 2019, I hosted another AMA, which drew nearly 15,000 comments, becoming the 9th most-commented-on AMA in Reddit history! I tried to answer as many as I could.
Both were great experiences, so I wanted to come back and do it again!
My website, https://WordOnFire.org, reaches millions of people each year, and I'm one of the world's most followed Catholics on social media:
3.2 million+ Facebook fans
400,000+ YouTube subscribers
170,000+ [Twitter followers](https:

I'm more melancholy than I've been in awhile today. Losing Rizzo was a gut punch. I know the losses probably aren't over.
Lots of folks are calling Ricketts the worst ever, an idiot, etc. I get that. I'm not happy either.
Let's not forget he put together the administration and team that win us a World Series after a century.
Go Cubs!
