Today, I want to talk about Bishop Barron’s recent comments regarding the performance of John Lennon’s iconic song Imagine at the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter. If you’re curious about why Bishop Barron raised concerns about this, let me share a statement he posted on X:

"I was watching highlights from President Carter’s funeral service at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC. I found some of the speeches very moving. But I was appalled when two country singers launched into a rendition of John Lennon’s 'Imagine.' Under the soaring vault of what I think is still a Christian church, they reverently intoned, 'Imagine there’s no heaven; it’s easy if you try' and 'imagine there’s no country; it isn’t hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too.' Vested ministers sat patiently while a hymn to atheistic humanism was sung. This was not only an insult to the memory of a devoutly believing Christian but also an indicator of the spinelessness of too much of established religion in our country.”
