Will ChatGPT change the Catholic Church? Should it?

This week, Jesuitical is joined by Sam Sawyer, S.J., the new editor in chief of America Media to talk about: 

• How Sam went from working as a software developer to joining the Jesuits
• The Catholic Church’s approach to technology, and what A.I. and ChatGPT have in store for it
• His latest essay in America: “Catholicism, authentic communion and the way out of our polarization trap”

And during Signs of the Times, Ashley and Zac discuss the following news stories: 

• Pope Francis has given women the right to vote at the synod for the first time in history
• Pope Francis losing his blue verification checkmark on Twitter
• Two events in Catholic-Anglican relations: A gift from Pope Francis to King Charles III and a “breakdown in communication” between a visiting Anglican group in Rome and the Basilica of St. John Lateran
