Mark Lambert and Katherine Bennett discuss the biggest Catholic stories of the week—from the controversy surrounding Monsignor Stephen Rossetti and UFO disclosure claims to Pope Leo's new encyclical Magnifica Humanitas.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Mark and Katherine explore whether reports of alien encounters may have a spiritual dimension, why Cardinal McElroy's removal of Monsignor Rossetti has generated such concern, and what Catholics should make of the growing cultural fascination with UFOs and disclosure narratives.

The discussion then turns to Pope Leo's first major encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, examining its treatment of artificial intelligence, human dignity, technological power and the future of civilization. They consider where the document succeeds, where it raises questions, and how it compares with recent papal teaching.

Along the way, they reflect on:

The Rossetti controversy and its implications
Demonic deception and claims of alien encounters
Why UFO narratives continue to capture public attention
Pope Leo's approach to AI and human dignity
Continuity and discontinuity with previous pontificates
The Church's response to technological change
Hope, truth and Catholic witness in a confused age
