I just watched @BishopBarron's first Thomas Aquinas lecture for @petersonacademy. He's one of the best lecturers I've ever heard. He's engaging and coherent, well-armed with stories, an effective synthesizer, and able to shift up and down levels of analysis with ease ("here's the social impact; here's the theological significance; here's the historical context, etc.). I've interviewed him, and we have spent time together, and that was all exceedingly worthwhile. But a full lecture requires a different skill set, and not many people have it. He captured my attention, despite my current difficulty with pain. And I learned a lot. He's also eminently likeable. It's a privilege to have the Bishop's lectures on Peterson Academy.
