About this episode

Bishop Frank Caggiano discusses Pope Leo XIV's encyclical on safeguarding humanity in the age of AI.

Pope Leo XIV just released his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, on safeguarding the human person in the age of artificial intelligence — and Bishop Frank Caggiano walks through it in plain language. What is AI, really? Why does the Pope call this an “epochal moment”? And what’s the difference between building “Babel” and rebuilding Jerusalem’s wall? A clear, hopeful, sometimes funny guide to the document everyone’s talking about. Plus a listener question on overcoming the fear of failure.
