I'll repeat that heading: "Bishop" Barron Proposes Judas Iscariot Did Not Go To Hell...
Keep in mind, that this is the same "bishop" that failed in his office to explain to the Jew, Ben Shapiro, that Christ, Our Lord is the only way to the Father, instead relegating Christ as the "privileged" way to the Father!!
That, my friends, is absolute heresy!
Moreover, Barron is also the character to attack the Catholic convert, Mrs. Boller, and had a hand, no doubt, in having her removed from the so-called Religious Liberty Commission because Mrs. Boller upheld the real Catholic Church teaching on the deadly sin of Zionism!
Now, he further embarrasses himself regarding the un-repentant traitor, Judas, by saying he did not suffer eternal perdition!!!
"Bishop" Barron: the truth shall set you free!!
From lifesitenews.com, and written by LifeSiteNews staff Tue Mar 31, 2026 - 1:43 pm EDT: Bishop Barron proposes Judas Iscariot did not go to hell - LifeSite
"(LifeSiteNews) — Bishop Robert Barron has published an article advocating for the view that Judas Iscariot, the betrayer of Jesus Christ, is not in hell.
On March 29, Barron’s article entitled “Even Judas? Rethinking sin, despair and divine mercy this Palm Sunday” appeared on the Fox News website. While acknowledging that Saint Augustine of Hippo, Saint Thomas Aquinas, and “most theologians” have believed Judas went to hell either for betraying Christ or for self-murder, Barron presented a “counter-view”: a 12th century carving apparently showing the Good Shepherd carrying the dead Judas over his shoulders.
“Pope Francis was so fond of this image that he had a reproduction of it over his desk in his papal office. It showed, for him, the hope that even Judas might have been saved by the overwhelming mercy of the Lord,” writes Barron.
The bishop asks readers not to send him letters, as he knows “that we cannot embrace a simple-minded universalism, which says that we are perfectly confident that all people will be saved. We do indeed have to admit to the very real possibility of an eternal rejection of God.” The rest of Barron’s article treats on the topic of people who commit suicide and how we need not despair for them but “pray for them and commend them to God’s mercy” instead.
Barron’s initial argument for the possibility that Judas has been spared damnation was his clear contrition, as witnessed by the Gospel of Matthew. However, the bishop does not address the fact that the Gospel does not state that Judas repented of his despair.
In response to Barron’s article, pundit Matt Gaspers pointed out that the traditional teaching of the Roman Catholic Church, found in the Catechism of the Council of Trent, is that Judas “lost soul and body.”
Canon lawyer Ed Peters observed, “Acknowledgment of having sinned, and repentance for having sinned, are two different things.”
Bishop Barron has previously faced criticism for suggesting that hell may be empty, a theological speculation popularised by theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar in his 1988 work Dare We Hope ‘That All Men Be Saved’?
Bishop Barron also scandalized faithful Catholics by describing Jesus as the “privileged route” – rather than the only way (Acts 4:12) – to salvation, praising a book by notorious LGBT activist Father James Martin, S.J., and telling a “married” homosexual commentator that he would not seek to reverse homosexual “marriage,” among other incidents.
“I don’t think I want to press it further,” Barron told Dave Rubin about homosexual “marriage” in a 2017 interview. “I think it would probably cause much more problems and dissension and difficulty if we keep pressing it.”'
End of very disturbing article...
Pray for the defeat of these modernist monsters -- and for their conversion to the Catholic Faith!!
Viva Cristo Rey! Bl. Fr. Miguel Pro, Fr. Emil Kapaun, and Fr. Vincent Capodanno, pray for us...
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle...
St. Joseph, pray for us!!
