We delve into specific films on the list, such as 'Au Revoir Les Enfants' and 'Babette's Feast', discussing various themes and ideas from each. Relatedly, we also discuss concerns about the impact of AI on the arts--both from labor and creative perspectives.

Good Catholic Conversation

First, welcome to Byzantine Catholicism. My family "converted" to Eastern Rite Catholicism at Annunciation Mother of God; you picked a great church. I still remember Father Loya's sermons. If you ever get to Kansas City, come worship with us at St. Luke's Byzantine Catholic Church in Sugar Creek Missouri, also part of the eparchy of Parma, another great Ruthenian church. Second, thanks for a sane conversation about what appears at best as craziness in the Latin Rite church in the United States. I crave discussion by knowledgeable Catholics such as you and Larry on these current matters, especially in promoting unity based on Church tradition since there is such divisiveness in the air. I look forward to listening to more of your podcasts, both past and future.
