- The psychological type profile of lay Catholic followers of Bishop Barron: a replication study, Francis et al. (2026). Journal of Religious Education. Outcome recorded: successful.
The replication study in 2025 confirmed the findings from 2023. Compared with Catholic churchgoers, Bishop Barron attracts higher proportions of intuitive types (N) and thinking types (T) and a lower proportion of the Epimethean temperament (SJ). Planted back in local congregations, here are people with the capacity either to transform or to unsettle these congregations.
