As Catholics we trust in our priests, bishops, cardinals, and Holy Father to act as our shepherds. We look to them for guidance when faced with the questions of the world. How do we live a life based in the Gospel? In what ways can we, as the children of God, seek to sanctify our lives? Many of those answers can be found in Holy Scripture, the words of the saints, and the dictums laid out in our Social Teachings. Fr. Mark Hoelsken joins Nicholas to discuss some of the foundational ideas that make up this vital subject.

In these trying times, there is some confusion as to the role of the Pope in the world. He is both the leader of the Roman Catholic faithful and the ambassador of Christ to the world. He has the monumental task of teaching the Gospel to people's of all nations. Although his words have drawn recent criticism in his country of origin, they are often filtered through the lens of individual bias. In this episode, Fr Hightower sits down with Nicholas to discuss the history of the Papacy and its place in the modern world.

Whenever there is a significant change in the world, the Church responds. It is one of the jobs of our leaders to guide us through uncharted waters. Today we find ourselves in need of direction when it comes to artificial intelligence. This tool has the potential to reshape every aspect of life at every level of society. How do we proceed forward using this tool to better the world? Joining us for this episode is Fr Ricky Manalo C.S.P., who has been on the cutting edge of this research, participating in the Vatican's effort to understand this world changing tool and its ethical applications. Nicholas sits down with him to discuss how we, as Catholics, can approach artificial intelligence.
