AI & the Catholic Church? Magisterium AI & Truth | Heroic Hotline | Matthew Sanders

Can AI serve the Church — or will it undermine it? In this eye-opening interview, Matthew Sanders, founder of Magisterium AI and Longbeard, reveals how artificial intelligence is reshaping Catholic evangelization, research, and even access to ancient Church teachings. From digitizing forgotten libraries in Rome to building AI tools that help ordinary Catholics explore theology, Sanders shares the inspiring — and at times unsettling — possibilities of AI in faith.

But as AI grows more powerful, so do the questions: Can machines truly assist with spiritual formation? Will AI deepen our understanding of God — or distort it? What happens when people turn to AI for companionship, therapy, or even answers to life's deepest struggles?

In this conversation, you'll hear the viral story of how Magisterium AI crashed after an EWTN interview, how the Vatican is quietly embracing technology, and why AI might just help preserve — not replace — the Church's voice.
