The New Yorker's Misguided Attempt to Ruin Easter

As we approach Easter and the celebration of the greatest event in human history, the resurrection from death of the Son of God, the secular media is once again doing what they can to discredit either that particular event, miracles in general, or Christian belief in toto.

An example is a recent article in The New Yorker which has triggered a fine response from the Catholic bishop Robert Barron. You can watch Barron's remarks about the New Yorker piece below.

Sophisticated folks at venues like the New Yorker aren't content with reducing the Resurrection of Jesus, the most significant event to have ever occurred, into a celebration of the Easter bunny. They want to empty the day of any and all transcendent meaning.

The apostle Paul says of such people that "professing themselves wise they make themselves fools." Bishop Barron's brief remarks illustrate why:

Friends, the mainstream media typically uses Easter as a time to “debunk” Christianity with old, tired arguments. After reading a rather annoying article in The @NewYorker, I’d like to share my thoughts with you. pic.twitter.com/EVZKKZaDcY
