Trump Vs. Pope Leo, the Real Threat of Ai & Fraying Social Fabric | Bishop Robert Barron

Buckley, Phil Donahue, and Johnny Carson helped unify Americans across political divides; how tribalism, wokeism, and partisan media are destroying healthy public discourse; the growing public clashes between President Trump and Pope Leo XIV over immigration, morality, and public policy; how Catholic leaders in politics should engage in direct dialogue with the Vatican instead of social media battles; how the collapse of America' shared faith may be weakening social cohesion, moral stability, and civil discourse; the rise of conspiracy thinking, tribalism, and online mobs as symptoms of a deeper spiritual crisis; why AI and artificial intelligence could weaken human thinking, meaning, and religious life if people outsource their minds to technology; his warning that wokeism and critical theory are spiritually divisive movements rooted in power politics rather than truth or justice; and why churches should resist adopting woke ideology even if it costs them popularity or numbers, and much more.
