Podcasts about Catholic social teaching

Matthew investigates whether Pope Leo XIV's appeals to Liberation Theology represent genuine solidarity with the poor or a sophisticated form of spiritual bypassing.  Drawing on Ole Jakob Løland's analysis of Francis's papacy, Remski traces how Rome has metabolized Liberation Theology into compatibility with 135 years of Catholic Social Teaching by absorbing its pastoral language while suppressing its structural conclusions. This involves a close reading of Cardinal Ratzinger's 1984 rebuke of Gutierrez et al.  Ratzinger's framing of empathy as temptation prefigures the "toxic empathy" discourse of our present moment. Francis's eulogies for Oscar Romero and Gustavo Gutiérrez honored their sacrifice but erased their politics. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this second instalment of the 'Magnifica Humanitas' Roundtable, we continue our exploration of Pope Leo XIV's encyclical on Artificial Intelligence, focusing on Chapters 3 and 4: Technology and Dominance and The Safeguarding of Humanity.You can get Pope Leo's new encyclical on AI from CTS nowAs artificial intelligence continues to reshape society, Pope Leo XIV offers one of the most significant Catholic intervention yet on the promises and dangers of AI. Rather than asking whether the Church is simply for or against technology, 'Magnifica Humanitas' asks a deeper question: does technology serve the human person or will it come to dominate humanity?In this discussion, the team examine the Pope's striking call to 'disarm AI' and consider what this means in practice. They explore the concentration of power in the hands of a small number of technology companies and tech bros, the challenges of AI governance and accountability, the rise of autonomous systems and the growing influence of algorithms on human decision-making. They also discuss the dangers of techno-feudalism, the role of international co-operation in regulating AI and the ethical questions raised by artificial intelligence in both civilian and military contexts.The conversation also turns to some of the deepest themes of Catholic Social Teaching. Drawing on the principles of the common good, solidarity, and subsidiarity, the panel reflect on Pope Leo XIV's insistence that efficiency and technological power are not ends in themselves. Human dignity, authentic relationships, meaningful work and the flourishing of communities must remain at the centre of any technological future.They also discuss Pope Leo's critique of transhumanism and the temptation to reduce the human person to intelligence, productivity, or data processing. The encyclical challenges us all to remember that what makes us human is not simply our ability to calculate or optimise, but our capacity for friendship, love, sacrifice, responsibility and communion with others. These are realities that cannot be replicated by artificial intelligence, no matter how sophisticated the technology becomes.

What does Pope Leo really say about Artificial Intelligence in 'Magnifica Humanitas'? Why did the Pope choose AI as the subject of his first encyclical? And Is Artificial Intelligence a threat to human dignity? Welcome to this CTS Roundtable discussion on 'Magnifica Humanitas', Pope Leo's groundbreaking encyclical on Artificial Intelligence, technology and the future of humanity. You can get Pope Leo's new encyclical on AI from CTS now: https://bit.ly/4dQbjFMSupport our online ministry: www.ctsbooks.org/donateFind our books: www.ctsbooks.orgIn this Roundtable, Pierpaolo is joined by Sr Carino Hodder OP, Prof Jacob Phillips, and Fr Peter Wygnanski, to explore Pope Leo's response to the AI revolution and to examine what Catholic Social Teaching can contribute to one of the defining debates of the twenty-first century. As Artificial Intelligence continues to transform society, economics, education, communication, warfare and human relationships, the discussion asks whether AI will serve authentic human flourishing or contribute to a new technocratic culture that undermines human dignity.Drawing on theology, philosophy, Scripture, and the Church's social doctrine, the conversation unpacks Pope Leo's central themes, including the dignity of the human person, freedom, responsibility, the common good, technological progress, transhumanism, AI ethics, automation, and the moral limits of emerging technologies. The panel reflects on Pope Leo's striking use of the biblical image of the Tower of Babel, his warning against treating technology as humanity's salvation, and his call to build a society rooted in truth, solidarity, justice and peace.They also explore the influence of St Augustine on Pope Leo's vision, the dangers of technocratic power, the growing role of algorithms in public life, the ethics of Artificial General Intelligence and the challenge of ensuring that technological innovation remains at the service of the human person.About Magnifica HumanitasMagnifica Humanitas is Pope Leo's landmark encyclical on Artificial Intelligence, technology, and the dignity of the human person. Building on the rich tradition of Catholic Social Teaching, Pope Leo addresses one of the most urgent questions of our age: how should humanity respond to the rapid rise of AI?Rather than offering a simple endorsement or rejection of Artificial Intelligence, Pope Leo examines AI through the lens of Christian anthropology, human dignity, freedom, responsibility, and the common good. Drawing on Scripture, Catholic theology, and the social doctrine of the Church, Magnifica Humanitas challenges the modern assumption that technological progress alone can solve humanity's deepest problems.A central theme of the encyclical is the contrast between the biblical image of the Tower of Babel and the rebuilding of Jerusalem. Pope Leo argues that society faces a choice: to use technology as a tool for domination, control, and the concentration of power, or to place technological innovation at the service of authentic human flourishing, solidarity, justice, and peace.The encyclical explores the ethical implications of AI in areas such as education, employment, economics, warfare, governance, communication, and human relationships. It warns against technocratic ideologies, transhumanism, and attempts to redefine humanity through technology, while affirming the unique value of every human person created in the image of God.At its heart, Magnifica Humanitas is a call to recover a truly human vision of progress. In an era increasingly shaped by Artificial Intelligence, Pope Leo reminds the world that humanity cannot be reduced to data, efficiency, or computation. The future must be guided not only by technological innovation but by wisdom, moral responsibility, and a renewed understanding of what it means to be human.

Some conversations want to be in a coffee shop, not a studio — and this is one of them. Elizabeth Hinson-Hasty and I share a particular endangered species of Baptist heritage, the small, ecumenical, justice-formed wing whose patron saints include her father, Glenn Hinson, the Baptist church historian who taught half my div-school professors how to take the contemplative tradition seriously. So before we got anywhere near the politics of freedom, the problem of wealth, or the murderus super chickens of late-stage neoliberalism, we sat in her father's legacy for a while. The conversation took a different shape because of it. What follows is a slow take — on the perversion of freedom in white Christian America, the way our politics has lost any room for loss or failure, and what theological education has to do now if it is going to do anything at all. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube The Rev. Dr. Elizabeth Hinson-Hasty is the J. Roy Davis Family Chair of Theology and History at Union Presbyterian Seminary's Charlotte campus, where she teaches theology and ethics. Ordained in the PC(USA), she previously taught for nearly two decades at Bellarmine University, and earned her PhD from what is now UPSem. The books that anchor this conversation: Authentic Christian Freedom: Deconstructing the American Gospel of Liberty (the newest, on freedom's misuse in white Christian America); The Problem of Wealth: A Christian Response to a Culture of Affluence (Orbis, 2017 — winner of the Catholic Press Association's first-place prize in Catholic Social Teaching); and Dutiful Love: Empowering Individuals and Families Affected by Serious Mental Illness.

Pope Leo released his encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, on “safeguarding the human person in the time of artificial intelligence” today, May 25. (Read the encyclical here. And find America Magazine's extensive coverage of the encyclical here.) Pope Leo presented the encyclical at the Vatican along with the panel of experts, including Christopher Olah, a co-founder of one of the world's leading AI developers, Anthropic. In a speech at the presentation, Leo stressed that the encyclical had been born out of a process of listening–to scientists and engineers developing AI; political leaders, parents, and teachers; and people concerned about autonomous weapons systems and various forms of exclusion happening on the basis of mass data gathering. Leo recaps the evolution of Catholic Social Teaching through its major documents and by explaining its key principles, in many places anticipating and rebutting criticisms that the church should either stay out of politics or completely rule it. He then moves on to the explicit examination of AI, its development and its effects on humanity in the spheres of education, labor, technology addiction, democracy and many other areas, giving concrete recommendations on how AI development could be better supervised by various configurations of local and international civil, religious and educational authorities. He denounces repeatedly the ways in which A.I. will exacerbate global inequalities, and how it is already concentrating power and decision-making in the hands of a minority of powerful individuals. Leo stresses that, for all of us, the ethics of AI cannot be simplified into “good use of A.I. is good, evil use of A.I. is evil”—AI is not, he says, a morally neutral tool, but “embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations.” In other words, the moral discernment of AI cannot merely look at the uses to which it is put, but also how it is designed and what vision of the human person and society” is embedded into it . As expected, Leo turns to the use of A.I. in war. In a particularly interesting paragraph, he dismisses just war theory as “outdated,” saying it has “all too often been used to justify any kind of war” and that “Humanity possesses far more effective and capable tools for promoting human life and resolving conflicts, such as dialogue, diplomacy and forgiveness.” The document ends with a long meditation on peace, in which Leo outlines “five paths toward daily and public responsibility.” Magnifica Humanitas includes challenges and fruitful insights for everyone no matter their position in society, and we highly recommend giving it a read.

Episode 224: Community Health Workers Dr. Arreaza: Today we will discuss a topic that, frankly, every single person listening, whether you're a medical student, a resident, a nurse, a family doctor, or any primary care provider, needs to really understand. We're talking about community health workers (CHWs). We are joined by our stellar medical student; you may be familiar with her voice from previous episodes about insomnia. Moira, welcome, please introduce yourself.  Moira: I want to be upfront about why Community Health Workers matter to you specifically. If you've ever felt frustrated that your patient with uncontrolled diabetes keeps missing appointments because they can't get a ride, or that your heart failure patient was readmitted because nobody checked whether they could afford their medications, then you already understand the problem that CHWs are designed to solve. Dr. Arreaza: We're going to give you the definition of a CHW, the evidence behind their effectiveness, how they fit into your care team, the return on investment, and practical steps for integrating them into your practice. We have pulled information from a lot of peer-reviewed sources, and we want to share them with you. So, Moira, let's start with the basics. What exactly is a community health worker? Moira: Great question, and it's one that even literature struggles with, because there are so many titles for this role. Community Health Worker is an umbrella term that encompasses more than 20 different titles including outreach workers, promotores or promotoras de salud, community health representatives, lay health workers, peer educators, patient navigators, and many more. The American Public Health Association defines CHWs as frontline public health workers who are trusted members of or have an unusually close understanding of the communities they serve. Arreaza: And that trust is so important in health care. CHWs are not physicians. They are not nurses. They do not diagnose or prescribe. But they are like a bridge connecting the medical environment, social services, and the community to reduce gaps in healthcare delivery.  Moira: Exactly. In the United States, the role was formally recognized in the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which includes several sections highlighting the key roles CHWs play in achieving important goals of healthcare. ________________ References:  Aguerrebere, M., Rodríguez-Cuevas, F.

What does Catholic Social Teaching have to say about AI, capitalism, work, family and the future of society? In this episode, Jenny Sinclair, founder of Together for the Common Good, talks Pope Leo XIV, Rerum Novarum, the new industrial revolution and why Catholic Social Teaching may be more relevant now than ever before.As artificial intelligence transforms work, relationships, politics, and even our understanding of what it means to be human, the Church's social teaching offers a powerful framework rooted in human dignity, the common good, subsidiarity, solidarity and the vocation of work._________________________________________________________________________Subscribe to ‪‪Into The Truth for more British Catholic formation contentFind our books: www.ctsbooks.orgSupport our online ministry: www.ctsbooks.org/donateFind out more about Together For The Common Goodhttps://togetherforthecommongood.co.uk/__________________________________________________________________________Topics include- Pope Leo XIV and the legacy of Leo XIII- Rerum Novarum explained- AI and the future of work- Catholic teaching on capitalism and socialism- Human dignity in the age of technology- Family breakdown and individualism- Social media, loneliness, and the “culture of indifference”- Catholic responses to political polarization- How to build a “civilization of love”

Why is the incredibly unpopular Trump going after the beloved pontiff? Why does Trump's Catholic vice president, J.D. Vance, argue that Leo should stay out of politics and stick to morality, as if politics was not irreducibly a moral enterprise? Who is Pope Leo, and what seem to be his priorities for his papacy? How to make sense over the arguments about just-war theory that Leo's various statements about war and peace—notably, that God does not hear the prayers of those who wage war—have generated? We answer all these questions, and more!

We would invite you to join the Leaving Egypt community on Substack by becoming a paid subscriber: https://leavingegyptpodcast.substack.com/subscribeIn this episode, Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair meet Melanie Rieback. Melanie's faith journey is as unexpected as her professional journey. Her extraordinary story, from computer hacker to systems thinker, from a secular Jewish upbringing to the Catholic tradition, is filled with creativity and paradox. She incubates steward-ownership business models and loves the ancient liturgies of the Church. She is a leader in cutting-edge redemptive business and finance who reads Thomas Aquinas. She works with European governments as her life is shaped by Edith Stein. She retells parables to ground new economic ideas in ancient biblical wisdom. She builds bridges between the political left and the Christian right. Melanie is involved in an amazing journey of encountering the reality of God. The story of her conversion was told in another podcast (linked below). In this episode of Leaving Egypt, she reveals how her journey continues to unfold, including baptism into the Catholic Church. What stands out most about Melanie's vocation is that, even in a highly technical field, her primary question is: “Lord Jesus, where do you want me?” Her surrender, through moments of crisis and awakening, is to a powerful calling: to gather and empower people to create a more just world, for the sake of the other, in God's name.Dr. Melanie Rieback is a computer scientist and social entrepreneur, CEO and founder of a cybersecurity company - Radically Open Security - that gives all its profit to charity. She is also founder of a “Post Growth” startup incubator, Nonprofit Ventures. Inspired by Catholic Social Teaching, she is involved in the Francesco Collaborative where she mentors young entrepreneurs and practitioners the non-extractive business space. Formerly, Melanie was Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the Free University of Amsterdam, Senior Engineering Manager on XenClient at Citrix and head researcher in the CSIRT at ING Bank, where she spearheaded their Analysis Lab and the ING Core Threat Intelligence Project. Melanie has received many awards for her work as a woman in tech innovation. She was born in Cleveland, Ohio, raised in Florida and lives in Amsterdam.

The Iran War is close to entering its third week, and hostilities continue to escalate. Off-ramps for de-escalation are closing and the American public is, largely, unsupportive of the war. In this podcast, Alex Denley hosts a roundtable discussion with three professors of the College of St. Joseph the Worker, Dr. Andrew Willard Jones, Dr. Alex Plato, and Dr. Jared Goff, on whether the Iran War fits the criteria of a just war according to Catholic Social Teaching. They also discuss the circumstances of the war, the stated objectives of the Trump administration, and whether modern warfare is capable of being waged justly.

In this episode Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair meet with Rob Stewart, a true pilgrim grounded in the hope of God's kingdom. Rob recognises that modern economies are not only unjust but also deeply harmful, isolating people and working against the grain of humanity. Rob is convinced that another way is possible. Believing that human beings are “hard-wired for connection,” a moment of metanoia led him to leave behind a thirty-year business career and embark on a journey into relational economics. He went on to establish a solar energy cooperative which not only provides clean, affordable energy but also invites people into a shared story of participation. Rob's pilgrimage has been shaped by highs and lows, inspired by contemplative prayer, and guided by a humble surrender to the will of God. Rob Stewart is the Founder and Executive Director of Collective Power Boroondara, in Melbourne, Australia - a community energy cooperative advancing an equitable transition to a sustainable economy. Linked with others in the field of relational economics, he participates in the Francesco Collaborative and other international networks focused on ethical business practices. Formerly, he studied for the priesthood but things took an unexpected turn when he met his future wife. He went on to serve in the family retail business, a company founded by his father on the basis of Catholic Social Teaching principles. He lives in Melbourne with his wife and three adult sons.LinksFor Rob Stewarthttps://collectivepowerboroondara.org/https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-stewart-a0b2551ab/https://francescocollaborative.org/Also mentioned in the episode:A Personalist Manifesto by Emmanuel Mounierhttps://www.cpa.coop/For Alan J Roxburgh:http://alanroxburgh.com/aboutFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/alan.roxburgh.127/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecommonsnetworkBooksForming Communities of Hope in the Great Unravelling: Leadership in a Changing World (with Roy Searle)Joining God in the Great UnravellingLeadership, God's Agency and DisruptionsJoining God, Remaking Church, Changing the World: The New Shape of the Church in Our TimeFor Jenny Sinclair:Substack: https://t4cg.substack.com/s/from-jenny-sinclairWebsite: https://togetherforthecommongood.co.uk/from-jenny-sinclairLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-sinclair-0589783b/Twitter: https://twitter.com/T4CGFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TogetherForTheCommonGoodUKInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/t4cg_insta/ Get full access to Leaving Egypt at leavingegyptpodcast.substack.com/subscribe

Episode Summary In Part 4 of That They May Have Life, we continue our morality series by moving through the Fourth Commandment's reach into civil society and then turning to the Fifth Commandment: “You shall not kill.” We begin with Jesus' teaching from the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5), where the Lord deepens the commandment beyond the external act of murder to the interior roots of anger, contempt, and vengeance. From there we explore why every human life is sacred, what the Church teaches about abortion, euthanasia, suicide, and scandal, and how Catholics are called to protect life with both truth and mercy. We also address legitimate defense, the responsibilities of civil authority, the Christian duty toward the common good, and the Church's role in making moral judgments when fundamental human rights or the salvation of souls is at stake. The session concludes by previewing the next series on the sacraments. Key Scripture Matthew 5:21–48 (anger, purity of heart, truthfulness, mercy, love of enemies) Luke 10:27 (love of God and neighbor) Matthew 22:37–40 (the greatest commandments) Mark 1:15 (repent and believe in the Gospel) Matthew 10:37 (loving Christ above family ties) Matthew 22:21 (render to Caesar…) Acts 5:29 (we must obey God rather than men) Topics Covered Recap: beatitude, repentance, law and grace, the Decalogue The Fourth Commandment and the “domestic church” Civil society, authority, and conscientious objection Witness of Blessed Franz Jägerstätter and A Hidden Life The Fifth Commandment: why human life is sacred Abortion: truth, mercy, and the Church's positive duty to support mothers and families Euthanasia vs. allowing natural death (ordinary vs. extraordinary means) Suicide: the objective evil of the act, diminished culpability, and Christian hope Scandal, gossip/slander, bodily integrity, organ donation, and peace Legitimate defense, punishment, just war principles, and the death penalty as a prudential judgment Practical Takeaways Ask: Where do anger, contempt, or vengeance take root in my heart? Protect life with both conviction and compassion—especially by helping people in crisis Pray for leaders and seek the common good without losing charity Remember: the Lord's call is not perfectionism, but conversion toward love Next Episode Next week we begin a new series on the sacraments, starting with Baptism and Confirmation.

Reverend Joseph Cheah sits down with Dana to discuss his research and writings which push back against dominant understandings of Asian religions that were propagated by Western frameworks. He brings his combination of familial and cultural Buddhist roots with his Catholic faith and livelihood to also offer the idea that anti-hate activism by Asian organizers is a deep kind of spiritual social practice in action. GUESTREVEREND JOSEPH CHEAH OSM, Ph.D. is Professor of Religious Studies and Theology, and Chair of the Department of Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies. Fr. Joe has made robust contributions in the fields of Asian American religions and theology, Buddhist Studies, World Christianity, race and religion.

His recent book Anti-Asian Racism (Orbis, 2023) has been reviewed as “an exceptional book … on the genealogy and variants of anti-Asian racism in the U.S.” (Thomas Hampton) and “a must-read for all Americans” (Peter Phan). He is a co-editor on the Palgrave Macmillan series, “Asian Christianity in Diaspora” with Grace Ji-Sun Kim, with whom he co-authored a book on Theological Reflections on “Gangnam Style.” In recognition of his record of exceptional scholarship, the University in 2018 awarded him with the Sister Mary Ellen Murphy Faculty Scholarship Award.He has been an invited speaker on anti-Asian racism, Catholic Social Teaching, and other topics to audiences at diverse educational levels across the country. He was part of Asian American Christian Collaborative delegates invited to a White House meeting to address central issues faced by Asian American communities.HOSTREVEREND DANA TAKAGI (she/her) is a retired professor of Sociology and zen priest, practicing zen since 1998.

The arc of the Reconsidered Leader rolls on: we now turn to the central Scriptural concept that must guide our understanding of leadership: Kenosis. With extended observations from Philippians 2 and the Gospel episode of Christ washing the Apostle's feet, we formulate the essential principle grounding the rest of our conception of the difference Jesus Christ makes for leadership studies.  Iowa Catholic Radio Network Shows:Be Not Afraid with Fr.

Chez Filippini and Dr. Luke Arredondo travel to Florida State University in Tallahassee, FL to discuss Pope Paul VI's 1967 encyclical "Populorum Progressio" with Dr. Aline Kalbian, a former professor and current Associate Dean at Florida State University. They talk about how Pope Paul VI links economic and political progress with spiritual growth, cultural integrity, and the Church's moral guidance on global inequality. The discussion also highlights connections to Humanae Vitae and later social teaching on issues like nationalism, racism, migration, and the modern economy.

On this special episode of The Uncommon Good, Dr. Bud Marr is joined by Joe Stopulos, host of Man Up, for a candid and engaging discussion about the spiritual journey of a cradle Catholic. Joe reflects on growing up in a large Catholic family, the quiet power of faithful parents, and how simply “showing up” to Mass formed a lasting foundation of belief.The conversation explores the importance of fathers in passing on the faith, the challenges and blessings of Catholic life in the 1990s, and how Joe's faith deepened in adulthood through parish life, Scripture study, Catholic radio, and the influence of Fr. John Ricardo. Joe also shares the story behind the founding of Man Up and the vibrancy he sees today in the Diocese of Des Moines.This episode is a thoughtful reflection on how ordinary faithfulness can bear extraordinary fruit — in families, parishes, and the wider Church.Man Up with Joe Stopulos: https://manup.simplecast.comThe Uncommon Good: https://theuncommongood.simplecast.comIowa Catholic Radio: https://iowacatholicradio.com  Iowa Catholic Radio Network Shows:Be Not Afraid with Fr.

Over the last 10 years we have seen the systematic dismantling of the old liberal order that was atheistic and communistic, by the nationalistic, fascist, religious movement of MAGA. But MAGA's life, like all psyops, had an expiration date from the beginning. Now that expiration date is nearing and the final reality is coming to light: a collapse of the dualistic political system altogether, a synthesis of right and left into the common good middle ground, which is the true NWO governed by Catholic Social Teaching and which will submit all nations to the Beast. * 00:00 - Montage* 43:50 - Introduction & Housekeeping* 1:18:31 - JESUIT THEATER: Culture Shaping* 4:01:36 - JESUIT THEATER: Dialectics (Trump) * 4:47:28 - JESUIT THEATER: Dialectics (Venezuela) * 5:25:19 - JESUIT THEATER: Dialectics (MAGA) * 7:08:11 - The Image of the Beast This is a public episode.

Fr. Marcel Taillon joins Patrick to discuss Catholic Social Teaching What is Catholic Social Teaching? (10:03) What are the main themes on Catholic Social teaching? (17:07) what does the “common good” mean? (23:45) Break 1 (25:51) Lillian - When we talk about Catholic social teaching and catholic social justice, there is some confusion with one world order. The issue for us to be closer to God, but when it comes to this communal thing, we become confused and become more involved with community and not Jesus Christ. What are things that we can do for the poor? (38:52) Break 2 Cynthia - In my work with the homeless, we are trying to make them aware of their dignity. So many people have a negative view of the homeless. We do not have a strong Catholic presence in the streets of Austin. Any advice to help with that? (45:45) Richard - There's a document from the synod about 9 months ago...Life is Always a Good. It gives parishes a structure to put together a structure for the dignity of the individual as a person. Getting back to basics and having our faith and every person is valued. It's really a blue print to make that concept a reality on the ground.

Preaching for the Third Sunday of Advent, Carmen M. Nanko-Fernández offers a reflection on experiencing and embracing the in-breaking of God's mañana: "On that day, many years ago, in the company of thousands united by a desire for housing justice, en solidaridad with many made poor, vulnerable and homeless, the presence of God's reign broke-in. Barriers to communication fell, obstacles to relationships collapsed.

The dudes contemplate how Sacred Space and Common Space have more to do with the Common Good than most folks normally consider.

When Pope Leo was elected on May 8, 2025, Archbishop Nelson Pérez was flying home to Philadelphia from Rome. Mid-flight, he got to share the historic news with his fellow passengers. In this episode, Archbishop Pérez reflects on Pope Leo's leadership style, his vision for the Church, and his awareness of the world's challenges—qualities that are inspiring Catholics everywhere to renew their witness to Christ's love and their commitment to making disciples. And yes, the new pope even has a Philly connection: he's a Villanova grad with a standing order from Wawa. We would love it if you could leave a written review on Apple and share with your friends!

Pope Leo is the first missionary Pope since St. Peter, and it is already quite evident how his formation as a missionary in Peru is guiding his papal ministry. Msgr. Roger Landry, the National Director of the Pontifical Mission Societies in the United States, shares how the Holy Father is walking in the footsteps of his predecessors by first reminding us that we are called to "go out to all the world and share the good news" with a missionary mindset and a willing heart.

Chez Filippini and Dr. Luke Arredondo continue their Catholic Social Teaching series by discussing Pope Pius XI's 1931 encyclical "Quadragesimo Anno", a follow-up to Pope Leo XIII's "Rerum Novarum". They explore the document's key themes, including subsidiarity, labor relations, wages, and critiques of both capitalism and socialism. The encyclical emphasizes the need for a moral approach to economic life, condemns the excesses of individualist capitalism and socialist ideologies, and calls for a return to gospel principles.

Katie sits down with José Manuel de Urquidi of the Juan Diego Network and Inés San Martín of the Pontifical Mission Societies to discuss their personal experiences with Pope Francis and Pope Leo. Together, they explore how to understand Pope Francis's legacy and the unfolding mission of Pope Leo.

Join Andrew as he reflects on how Catholic Social Teaching (CST), rooted in Pope Leo XIII's 1891 encyclical Rerum Novarum, fundamentally transforms his approach to fundraising.  Andrew shares a bit of the history of CST from Rerum Novarum to the present, and he explores how the CST values of human dignity, justice over charity, and solidarity over transactional relationships affect his work as a development professional.  (And, his personal volunteering priorities!) Andrew concludes by acknowledging that, while applying CST principles can be challenging, their value to fundraisers is clear.  As fundraisers, we invite donors to recognize that their willingness to give funds promotes solidarity and builds God's kingdom here on earth.If you'd like to refer to the article Andrew mentions in the podcast, you can find it on our Petrus blog HERE.  

Shannon Wimp Schmidt joins Katie to explore the significance of the papacy, highlighting key teachings and defining moments from the past twelve popes—from Leo XIII at the turn of the twentieth century to Leo XIV today. Together they trace how the papacy has evolved through the personalities, styles, and themes each pope brought to their encyclicals and homilies, showing how the Lord continues to guide his Church. In the end, they consider a personal question: What role does the pope play in our individual faith journeys today?

When Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was elected to the papacy on May 8, 2025, he stepped into the metaphorical shoes of the fisherman worn by 266 men before him. Choosing a name that hadn't been held by a pope in over 100 years, he entered an office held by men with varied personalities, lofty goals, numerous agendas and projects. Learning about those popes only helps us understand this current pope, and when we watch what Pope Leo does, says, writes, and where he'll go, we do so in light of all the ones who have done things in the papacy before. This upcoming series of Ave Explores will take a look at the history of the papacy, and the work of the popes, from Pope Leo XIII at the turn of the century up to Pope Leo XIV today.

A central tenet of the MAGA movement is the Trump administration's "America First" foreign-policy agenda. To fulfill this agenda, it has slashed foreign aid, launched a trade war with the United States' most reliable trading partners, and threatened to abandon NATO and our most trusted allies.  Informed by Trump's transactional approach to international relations, such actions flout the existing liberal world order, which has worked to promote democracy, human rights, free trade, and the freedom of movement since the end of World War II.  They also betray the very idea of a shared humanity, which is profoundly antithetical to Catholic Social Teaching. On this fourth, and final, episode of "The Counterweight," associate editor Griffin Oleynick speaks with Loyola Chicago's Miguel Diaz, the U.S. ambassador to the Holy See under President Barack Obama, about the Trump administration's foreign policy, Diaz's experiences as a diplomat, and what the “America First” agenda means for the international community—and for the United States.  Diaz also discusses how Catholic Social Teaching can counter this agenda by championing foreign policies that recognize the existing liberal order, support human rights, and act in service of the common good.    For further reading:  Andrew J.
