Bishop Robert Barron

People start looking for sources of meaning and purpose.

And, you know, they'll turn to religion.

Another corollary to that is the deep confusion and sadness that has been measured now for at least a decade in the surveys of young people.

rising numbers of depression and anxiety, of suicide, of deep confusion.

I put a lot of the gender business in that category too.

Deep confusion about who we are.

Well, that can't sustain itself in the long run.

People start looking for sources of meaning and purpose.

And

They'll turn to religion.

Here's my conviction.

I'm very glad.

I'll use this word on fire as an example.

There are many others.

But that when people wanted to turn to religion, maybe going to the local church, that wasn't their first idea.

But they're online all the time, and they find people who are talking about faith online.

I think that should not be underestimated as a key factor in this.

No, I think that's the right distinction, the one that you made.

And I furthermore agree with you that he's not referring

specifically or precisely to the Iran war.
