    A Masterpiece or Epic Flop? Fr. Augustine Wetta Reviews Nolan’s The Odyssey

    There has been a lot of commentary about Chrispher Nolan’s The Odyssey, but few of these commentators have thought as much about Odysseus as today’s guest—Fr. Augustine Wetta.   Get Your Copy of “The Eighth Arrow: Odysseus in the Underworld”: https://ignatius.com/the-eighth-arrow-earp/?searchid=5303434&search_query=the+eighth+arrow   Fr. Wetta believes that The Odyssey is an “brilliant masterpiece.” And in today’s episode, he defends this conclusion by discussing the critical scenes as well as overarching themes in the movie like Zeus’s Law and the gods themselves. He also unpacks the character of Odysseus and points out the notable flaws of Odysseus’s character. Fr. Wetta has also adapted the character of Odysseus in his own book “The Eighth Arrow” which took fourteen years to complete and has even been regarded as better than Tennyson by the head of the Library of Congress. Fr. Wetta hopes that his novel is worthy of his students who are often left to consume subpar fantasy that he believes does little to educate or edify. We hope you enjoy this episode and purchase Fr. Wetta’s book to continue enjoying great works of fiction.   Get in Contact with Fr.

    America on Trial: Responding to Criticisms of the American Founding w/ Dr. Robert Reilly

    Was America’s founding really great? Were our founders truly exceptional or was our project simply an outgrowth of the Enlightenment? In today’s episode Dr. Robert Reilly weighs in on these questions.   Get Your Copy of “America on Trial” Here: https://ignatius.com/america-on-trial-aotp/?searchid=0&search_query=america+on+trial   Dr. Robert Reilly is the celebrated author of “America on Trial”—a book that looks at the American founding with a critical eye. This book addresses many of the criticisms of the American experiment, specifically those raised by conservatives and Catholics. Ultimately, Dr. Reilly highlights the truly exceptional nature of our founding and its ancient and medieval roots. In today’s episode, Dr Reilly revisits some of these criticisms and addresses in detail the common and mistaken belief that the founding of America was simply an Enlightenment project like the French Revolution. With a more accurate understanding of our founding just 250 years ago, Dr. Reilly hopes to encourage greater patriotism and respect for our founders.   SUBSCRIBE to our channel and never miss an episode of the Ignatius Press Podcast.

And in today’s podcast, she joins Ben Eriksen to begin unpacking Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical in light of the practical circumstances facing individuals today. They begin by highlighting a few themes from “Magnifica Humanitas” that have they find most relevant and insightful. Then they unpack some of these principles by discussing if and how AI should be used in our everyday lives. Is it wise to have AI draft emails, conduct research, or produce art? What considerations should we weigh when making these decisions? While more conversations like this are needed, the two hope that this discussion can continue to inform the viewers as we all seek to navigate the changing landscape of the modern century.   For books by the Vatican Dicastery for Culture and Education: Antiqua et Nova: https://www.dce.va/it/cultura/culture-digitali/risorse-utili.html Reclaiming Human Agency in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: https://jmt.scholasticahq.com/article/154545-reclaiming-human-agency-in-the-age-of-artificial-intelligence   For Mariele’s documentary on AI call “Still Human” coming out later this year click here: media.benedictine.edu   SUBSCRIBE to our channel and never miss an episode of the Ignatius Press Podcast.
