“I greatly admire Barron’s project and consider it crucial for the Church’s present and future mission. He offers necessary guideposts for a Catholicism that is deeply and richly Catholic (and catholic) while also being ecumenical and contemporary. In my view, his theological vision exemplifies the salutary sanity of a ‘wise man who built his house upon the rock’ (Matt. 7:24)—the rock of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”
