  • Keeping it Real

    I love listening to Katie. I was lucky enough to meet her in Australia in 2019 just before Covid, and have loved following her ever since. She is so knowledgeable and connected in the Catholic world, always bringing us something new to consider. Love to hear young women of faith balancing motherhood with wrestling with big theological questions, like a boss! Hopefully we will get her back in Australia soon.

    Thank you Katie for bringing God inspired spirituality into my messy everyday life exactly where it is needed! Not only do you encourage me to be a kinder, more patient and better person you also teach about our rich Catholic faith. I truly enjoy the stories about your family because you all model what it means to be a loving Catholic caring family in a real world that doesn’t always share the same values. You and your family are a true blessing! Merry Christmas! And keep sharing the faith as be... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Podcasting Sisters: A conversation with Sr. Miriam from the OPen Mic podcast
Q: What was it like to host the podcast initially, given your background in teaching and fundraising?
She initially felt unqualified and unsure, but chose to proceed, trusting that many sisters could contribute and that God would guide her, turning uncertainty into a collaborative effort rooted in faith.
The Podcasting Sisters: A conversation with Sr. Miriam from the OPen Mic podcast
Q: Sister Miriam, how did Open Light Media get started and what is its main mission?
Open Light Media grew from the Dominican community's desire to reach people through new modes of communication, expanding beyond traditional classrooms to podcasting and social media to share faith and culture with freshness and accessibility.
The Ethics of AI in Magnifica Humanitas
Q: How should Catholics engage with AI in light of the encyclical's themes about the common good and the dignity of the worker?
Catholics should not avoid AI, but should critically assess how it is built and used, advocate for ethical practices, address injustices in supply chains and labor, and participate in dialogue to guide AI toward serving people rather than profit.
The Ethics of AI in Magnifica Humanitas
Q: What were your first impressions of Pope Leo's encyclical given its timing with the AI revolution?
The encyclical arrives at a pivotal moment, timely and deliberate, inviting careful consideration of how AI fits within Catholic social teaching rather than declaring it inherently good or evil; it emphasizes discernment and the opportunity to shape AI for human flourishing.
What to expect in Magnifica Humanitas, with Charles Camosy
Q: What will Magnifica Humanitas likely emphasize at a basic level?
It will position the Church as the interpreter of morality and social implications of technology, stressing human dignity and the need to guide AI usage rather than be shaped by it.
