Bishop Barron Presents | David Henrie - Seeking Beauty

Bishop Robert Barron interviews actor David Henrie, focusing on Henrie's journey through child stardom to a profound Catholic conversion. Henrie recounts early success and its emptiness, leading to existential questioning and a search for objective truth. This quest led him to St. Michael's Abbey and a rediscovery of the Catholic faith's intellectual and masculine dimensions, contrasting with earlier, softer exposures. The discussion explores the role of beauty in spiritual awakening, referencing Von Balthasar's theology and Henrie's EWTN show. They examine the disconnect between the Church and artistic expression, advocating for a revival of Catholic artistic patronage akin to the Renaissance model, emphasizing the need for art that pierces the soul and reflects objective beauty.
