During his recent visit to Australia, Chicago priest and founder of Word on Fire, Fr Robert Barron spoke with Bishop Peter Comensoli of the Archdiocese. He said often Christ is portrayed as a soft, friendly person expressing divine love which is how many people see him. Again while that is true there is definitely another side to Christ - the hard edge.
"There is anger and the tough side but people should not be afraid of that," Fr Barron said.
"It is not anger with us but with sin and Christ wants us to see that."
Fr Robert Barron is the Francis Cardinal George Professor of Faith and Culture at the Mundelein Seminary. He also writes numerous columns and blogs and is regularly called upon by the secular media for commentary on a range of church and social issues.
Over the past four years he has been working on a major multi media project, the Catholicism Project which is a 10-part documentary series on the Catholic Church and now released on DVD.
Recently a guest in Australia of the Australian Catholic University Fr Barron travelled to Melbourne, Ballarat and Brisbane as well as Sydney talking to various groups, youth ,teachers and clergy.
It was a packed 13-day tour and although Fr Barron is well known on Youtube and his own site, this was the first time most people here at the opportunity to hear him speak and meet with him.
This second part of the three part interview with Bishop Comensoli is called "The Real Face of Christ".
