Pope Leo XIII Name and AI Concerns

Catholic moral theologian Dr. John Grabowski joins the Conor Gallagher Show to unpack a seemingly simple yet controversial question: What does it mean to be male and female — and how did society become so confused about it?

Offering a unique combination of deep theological insight and familiarity with the relevant scientific literature, Dr. Grabowski explains how gender ideology emerged, why it spread so quickly, and why Saint John Paul II’s Theology of the Body offers a comprehensive Catholic response to the cultural confusion it has generated.

Together they explore:

- The roots of gender ideology — from feminist thinkers Simone de Beauvoir and Judith Butler to Marxism, existentialism, post-modernism, and the rise of relativism.

- How JPII’s Theology of the Body directly addresses today’s confusions.

- The spiritual and pastoral dimensions of helping those with gender dysphoria

- How Pope Leo can confront issues like gender confusion, the rise of AI, and social fragmentation.

- And where the culture may be heading in the next decade.

If you want to be reminded of the dignity of the human person and the biblical truth about our creation as male and female - then this is the conversation for you.
