Non-human intelligences including AI, aliens, and demons are in the news, and now a well-known exorcist has been removed from office for suggesting that alien sightings might actually be demonic in origin.
We take a look at Pope Leo’s highly anticipated encyclical on AI, which was released with much fanfare this week.

as a hopeful catholic convert, the podcasts on the purpose of mass and the rosary have been excellent for my spiritual development
Not afraid to be a little spicy for the sake of honesty. Mr Sammons is a man of good will and I think good takes on church and secular events.
Eric: I suggest you discuss with and then interview Fr. Murr on this subject. He and I are the same age. I’m a revert and love the TLM and attend the NO with my wife.
Fr. Murr celebrates TLM every day , and I’m sure you know his history with the Vatican and his friendship with some big hitters of the 70’s and 80’s.
He has a good understanding and view of Vatican II which I think is really much like your own.
Vatican II is legitimate but has issues in some documents.

Why are you talking about a crisis that isn’t Catholic?? Only talk about what I want you to talk about.
I read Crisis Magazine but this was my first time listening to your podcast. I listened to the episode about the new pope. I appreciated the diversity of viewpoints even among 3 traditional practicing Catholics. While I have heard some other perspectives that mirrored some of your thoughts, I still learned a lot and I appreciate the church history lesson as well as debunking some of the rumors out there. I will definitely listen again!

A Catholic-leaning, intellectually rigorous show that surveys theology, church history, liturgy, and current events through a traditional lens. Episodes frequently tackle Vatican II, canon law, ecumenism, liturgical practices, and Catholic identity, often pitting traditional practice against modern reforms. Notable strengths include thorough doctrinal exploration, thoughtful critique of church leadership, and a clear, opinionated voice that invites dialogue while maintaining a strong stance on orthodoxy. The format often blends solo commentary with guest conversations and audience interaction, making it a good fit for listeners who enjoy deep dives into Catholic doctrine, culture, and public life.
