Xd1WpFkvaS- Dr Jordan B Peterson April 22, 2023 I spent the last three weeks at Heiligenkreuz, a monastery near Vienna, working on my next book, We Who Wrestle with God. Peterson has previously expressed his admiration for aspects of Catholicism and revealed this past weekend that he had just spent three weeks at the Austrian abbey-monastery of Heiligenkreuz, where he worked on his upcoming book, We Who Wrestle With God. “Redemptive salvation is a matter of the individual soul.” Respondents criticized Peterson not only for being disrespectful to the Pope, but also for expressing an overly individualized account of Christianity, part of a wider critique of how well the Canadian commentator’s account of the Gospel meshes with the Church’s actual teaching.īut others celebrated Peterson’s appearance with Bishop Barron, hopefully speculating that it was yet another sign that the commentator may be a step closer to becoming Catholic himself. “There is nothing Christian about #SocialJustice,” wrote Peterson on March 2. Some comments criticized the bishop of Winona-Rochester, Minnesota, for appearing with a man who, just days earlier, had critically responded to a tweet from Pope Francis promoting aspects of social justice related to poverty and human rights. And the fault lines of this division were evident in the contrasting reactions to Peterson’s recent appearance with Bishop Barron.
His outspokenness on contested issues like identity politics, innate differences between men and women, and the need for order in life and society has garnered a significant following - nearly 7 million subscribers on YouTube and more than 4 million Twitter followers - and also polarizing reactions from across the cultural landscape.īut Peterson is nearly as controversial among Catholics as he has proved to be in the mainstream. Peterson, who has a doctorate in clinical psychology, has sparked heated debate ever since his 2016 rise to fame for opposing a Canadian bill that defined refusing to use a person’s preferred pronouns as “gender-based harassment,” and he hasn’t shied away from fraught questions since. Peter’s Square sparked controversy on Catholic Twitter - not because of anything Bishop Barron said, but because of whom the American prelate and evangelist was filming with: Jordan Peterson, the Canadian psychologist-turned-internationally-recognized-social commentator and lightning rod for media controversy.
