Bp. Barron Does "Ask Me Anything" On Major Atheist Forum & It Was Glorious (His Best Answers Inside)

Bishop Robert Barron, the Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of Los Angeles, recently opened up a message board on Reddit.

Even though Reddit is not completely atheist, atheism definitely dominates this media forum. He invited atheists and agnostics to ask him anything regarding the Catholic faith!

Here’s his original post, which generated more than eleven thousand comments!

Check out the photos below to see some of his best questions and responses!
