Fr. Jason Rocks on Magnifica Humanitas
<p>In this week’s episode, we welcome back fan favorite Father Jason Rocks, Chancellor of the Diocese of Camden and pastor of Holy Eucharist Parish in Cherry Hill, for a thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation on Pope Leo’s encyclical on artificial intelligence, <a href="https://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/encyclicals/documents/20260515-magnifica-humanitas.html"><strong>Magnifica Humanitas</strong></a>.</p><p>Together, they explore how the Church’s long tradition of Catholic social teaching can help guide the use of emerging technologies in a way that protects human dignity, promotes the common good and keeps people, not machines, at the center of progress. Father Rocks reflects on the encyclical’s warnings about isolation, bias, war, education, transhumanism and the temptation to treat technology as an end in itself, while also emphasizing that AI can be a useful tool when used wisely.</p><p>The conversation also touches on everything from the Tower of Babel and the rebuilding of Jerusalem to The Terminator, Robocop, Star Wars, digital photography, education, human creativity and the importance of slowing down in a world that increasingly prizes speed and efficiency.</p><p>Listen as the trio consider how Christians can engage AI with hope, caution and responsibility, always asking the deeper question at the heart of the encyclical: Where is humanity going, and how do we make sure technology helps us become more fully human?</p><p>Listen to Talking Catholic everywhere podcasts can be found, at <a href="https://talking.catholicstarherald.org/talking-catholic">https://talking.catholicstarherald.org/talking-catholic</a>, or catch us on Domestic Church Media radio (<a href="https://domesticchurchmedia.org/">https://domesticchurchmedia.org</a>) Sundays at 11 AM or Mondays at 4 PM.</p><p>Follow us using our @TalkingCatholic handle on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TalkingCatholic">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/talkingcatholic">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@talkingcatholic">TikTok</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/talkingcatholic">X</a></p>
