In this highly anticipated encyclical, Pope Leo discusses Catholic social teaching, artificial intelligence, and human dignity. Fr. Fessio and Mark Brumley break down certain sections of this text and highlight what they believe are the most noteworthy passages and insightful teachings. While they are critical of some statements that the Pope makes on slavery and just war, overall, they are very enthusiastic about the careful thought and timeliness of this encyclical. We hope you enjoy this episode!
