Bishop Barron on "The Call of Beauty"

Something I've been talking about in recent months (as in THIS SERMON) is the importance of beauty in our own spiritual lives, and also beauty as a potent help to Christians wanting to stand out as winsome and attractive in a modernist world that has created so much ugly art, so many ugly buildings, and lost sight of the objective nature of Beauty as a glimpse of God's own nature.

One strong voice for what we might call a 'spirituality of beauty' or even using beauty as an evangelistic tool is the Roman Catholic Bishop, Robert Barron.  He ponders some of these topics while reflecting on the unspoiled traditional beauty of the city of Prague in Central Europe.
