Since the publication of Pope Leo’s first Encyclical last week media have flowed with mostly positive response.

But what is he really saying?

Magnifica Humanitas is often referred to as the AI Encyclical. But it’s much more than that and the title is the giveaway: Magnificent Humanity.

As I was reading the letter I knew it deserved dialogue and I thought that a good way to initiate this might be a podcast conversation.

Very quickly three people came to mind: Peter Carrell, Rocio Figueroa and Jonah Lynch and now that I’ve listened again to our conversation I see that my choice of participants was inspired.

They begin this 55 minute podcast conversation by introducing themselves.

I invite you to take time to listen to our conversation…

…and to read the letter at this link.

In a summertime-spring-cleaning of computer files and old recordings I came upon this interview which I thought you might be happy to hear as a thirty-minute podcast.

Five years ago the new Vocations Director for the Christchurch Diocese, Fr. Tien Cao, asked if he could interview me, the outgoing Director.

I was happy to oblige then, and it seems timely this weekend as we celebrate the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, to share this conversation which suggests that poverty, chastity and obedience are at the heart of an abundant life for every baptised person.
