"Hacker Attack" - Bishop Barron Denies Having Subscribed to Scandalous Homosexual Accounts

Bishop Robert Barron, 66, of Winona-Rochester, USA, has rejected reports of unusual activity on his personal Facebook account.

On 23 December, his media organisation 'Word on Fire' stated that the account had been 'hacked': "Word on Fire’s security team was alerted to irregular activity connected to one of Bishop Barron’s social media accounts. A preliminary review indicates that a bad actor gained unauthorized access and, last month, ‘liked’ a handful of scandalous pages."

This statement followed the circulation of screenshots online showing Bishop Barron's profile had subscribed to accounts featuring semi-naked young men.

This is not the first controversy. In 2022, there were discussions about a controversial blog post asking why Bishop Barron employed so many men at 'Word on Fire' who posted pictures of themselves online showing a lot of muscle but very little clothing. At the time, the prelate was often surrounded by tattooed bodybuilders and fitness models. He also paid them high salaries (up to $210,000 annually).

This is a known problem with FaceBook. A wise person would remove their FB account and evangelize using other apps.

And this is how a Priests reputation is destroyed. Not that I ever listen to him. But he is still a Priest. I believe this sort of things should not get out for others to know or see until proven guilty.
As far as him posing with half naked guys goes. Ever think being he is not a Conservative Priest that he is into body building and it seems he has low esteem? That he admires other men who are built up?
I don't agree with him but like "EVERYONE" else he is a human being who is weak and looks up to the wrong things?
One day the scandals and sensationalism will cease. This is how Priests are attacked and hated. They immediately assume and condemn. Only GOD Judges.

The bishop chose to pose with body building men. It sends the wrong message (if you are a Catholic bishop).

I agree. Not good at all. But to accuse him without proof is not something we want to spread around.
