Godsplaining

As the month of June approaches, Fr. Gregory and Fr. Patrick reflect on how Catholics can respond to "pride month" with both truth and charity.

In this episode of Godsplaining, they discuss the Church’s teaching on human sexuality, the difference between political movements and pastoral care, the importance of identity in Christ, and why authentic Christian witness must always begin with love and prayer.

The Catholic Church and AI: Pope Leo's First Encyclical Explained

 

In this installment of Godsplaining Reacts, Fr. Patrick unpacks Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, an in-depth reflection on artificial intelligence, technology, truth, work, power, and the dignity of the human person.

More than merely “the AI encyclical,” Fr. Patrick argues that Magnifica Humanitas is fundamentally about anthropology: who are we and what are we for?

Drawing from Scripture, Catholic social teaching, and the Christian understanding of transcendence, Fr. Patrick sheds light on the Church’s engagement with technology, from the Vatican’s Minerva Dialogues to recent teachings on AI ethics and digital life. As it turns out, the most serious challenge with AI is not technological, but spiritual.

What questions do you have regarding Magnifica Humanitas? Let us know in the comments for a chance to have your questions answered in the next installment of Godsplaining Reacts.

What does it mean to "win" Lent, or the Christian life for that matter? Fr. Patrick, Fr. Gregory, and Fr. Joseph-Anthony explore the deeper meaning of Lent, spiritual growth, perseverance, and Christian courage during a live recording at St. Mary of the Assumption in Brookline, MA with local young adults.

Drawing on insights from Thomas Aquinas, Scripture, and pastoral experience, the friars reveal how prayer, fasting, and almsgiving shape the Christian life — not just during Lent, but throughout our entire earthly pilgrimage.

Welcome to Kantsplaining.

In this episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Bonaventure and Fr. Joseph-Anthony discuss one of the most important philosophers in history: Immanuel Kant. If you've been following the podcast for a while or attended a Godsplaining Retreat, you know he's also a favorite of Fr. Bonaventure.

Tune in for a brief introduction of the life and thought of Kant, along with some surprising facts about his contributions, and his influence on a well-known Catholic Saint.

Is a German philosopher from the 18th century still relevant today? Should we care about what he had to say? Watch the full episode to find out.
