A popular MAGA-oriented Catholic Bishop sent a letter threatening legal action against one of his critics that revealed he shares more with President Donald Trump than politics. Like the Commander in Chief he supports, Bishop Robert Barron of Minnesota is obsessed with crowd size. This is according to Christopher Hale, who writes the popular Letters from Theo blog where he provides commentary on the latest news regarding the Pope and Catholicism. On Friday, Hale explained , 'Earlier this week, a letter from the Washington law firm Cooper & Kirk arrived in my inbox. The firm represents Word on Fire, Bishop Robert Barron's media company, and the subject line announced a 'NOTICE OF LEGAL ACTION.' The letter itself is something slightly less than the subject line advertises: a threat of one. The lawyers ask for a correction of a July 8 post of mine, which said that Barron's YouTube views had 'been on a nosedive during the past year of his MAGA conversion.''

"Rob Kall's book, Bottom-Up: Tapping the Power of the Connection Revolution has really caused me to relook and reframe many of my thoughts on where our connectedness using social media tools like LinkedIn is headed, and not just for career trajectory but for life. If you are looking for a new perspective on our sometimes zany digital world we live in, this book will keep you reading and may ultimately revise but for sure challenge your current paradigm."
