Catholic AI is here. But Catholic AI companies need to answer some serious questions. In this episode, I respond to Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical on artificial intelligence and ask what Catholic AI companies owe the faithful in terms of transparency, accountability, data privacy, theological review, environmental impact, and moral responsibility. What model powers your Catholic AI? Is it using OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or another major LLM? Where do user prompts go? Who reviews the theology? What happens when someone asks about mortal sin, confession, scrupulosity, sexuality, grief, or despair? And if a company markets itself as a Catholic alternative to “secular AI,” shouldn’t Catholics know what is actually under the hood? This episode is a call for greater transparency. And to stop treating the faith like a religious answer machine, and start living it as an incarnational encounter with the living Christ.

What does God actually want from us? In this week's Mass Prep, we explore Matthew 22:34–40, where Jesus reveals the greatest commandment: to love God with our whole heart and to love our neighbor as ourselves. But there's something far more intimate here than simply being a good person or following religious rules. God is not an accountant keeping track of our spiritual achievements. He is a lover who desires our hearts. Through bridal theology, the mystics, and the mystery of divine love, we explore how loving God transforms us, teaches us to love like Him, and changes how we encounter the people around us. Because God doesn't simply want our love. He wants to teach us how to love.

This Sunday’s Gospel (Matthew 22:15–21) gives us the famous command to render unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar. But what if the most important part of this passage isn't about Caesar at all? Jesus asks whose image is stamped upon a coin. But we, too, bear an image: the image of God. In this week's Mystical Mass Prep, we're exploring what it means to belong to God, why our dignity goes deeper than anything the world can tell us, and how holiness transforms us into the likeness of Christ.
