SUMMARY:Pope Leo XIV’s New Challenge and Moral Leadership on Poverty\, Work\, and Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:In his new apostolic exhortation Dilexi te (“I have loved you”)\, Pope Leo powerfully elevates concern for the poor as a central theme of his pontificate. He writes\, “The condition of the poor is a cry that\, throughout human history\, constantly challenges our lives\, societies\, political and economic systems\, and\, not least\, the Church. On the wounded faces of the poor\, we see the suffering of the innocent and\, therefore\, the suffering of Christ himself.” \nPope Leo’s strong focus on the poor is situated within his acknowledgement of our rapidly changing social and economic context.  Just after he was elected\, Pope Leo said the Church should offer “her social teaching in response … to developments in the field of artificial intelligence that pose new challenges for the defense of human dignity\, justice\, and labor.” Concern for the poor combines with new moral questions around the impacts of artificial intelligence\, especially on workers\, to form the central themes of his early pontificate. \nThis timely Public Dialogue will respond to Pope Leo’s powerful challenge to the Church to refocus on the poor and his questions regarding the moral and human impacts of artificial intelligence at this time of economic turmoil and transformation. \nFour outstanding leaders will \n\nAddress the challenges for the Church and our nation of widespread poverty in the U.S. and around the world\, and the message of Pope Leo’s apostolic exhortation Dilexi te (“I have loved you”) on the topic of poverty in light of Catholic social teaching.\nExamine the ongoing mandate of Rerum novarum and other elements of Catholic social thought: the dignity and rights of workers\, just wages\, defending those who are poor\, and support for families and unions.\nExplore how the Church can share the tradition of Catholic social teaching in response to what Pope Leo XIV has called “another industrial revolution… artificial intelligence and new challenges for the defense of human dignity\, justice and labor.”\nLook ahead to how Pope Leo\, the Church\, and others can address the moral dimensions and human impacts of poverty\, AI\, and other economic pressures on workers\, poor families\, and society.\n\nJohn Carr\, founder of the Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life\, will moderate the dialogue. For more than twenty years\, Carr led the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ efforts on poverty\, work\, and economic justice. \nPhoto credit: Roman Catholic Diocese of Chiclayo \nParticipants\n\n\n\nCardinal Blase Cupich\nCardinal Blase Cupich is the archbishop of Chicago\, Illinois. A close advisor to both Pope Francis and now Pope Leo XIV\, Cardinal Cupich has been an advocate for Catholic social teaching on human dignity\, the common good\, work\, labor\, and a preferential option for the poor and vulnerable. \n\n\n\n\n\nPaul Almeida\nPaul Almeida is the dean and William R. Berkley Chair at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business. During his tenure\, Dean Almeida has built the school’s capabilities around fields of the future through new initiatives\, including one focused on artificial intelligence\, analytics\, and the future of work. \n\n\n\n\n\nCecilia Flores\nCecilia Flores is the executive director of Catholic Volunteer Network. Prior to this role\, she was a community organizer with Sacramento ACT\, where she worked to address issues of poverty and injustice in California. Flores also spent several years volunteering in Honduras with the Missioners of Christ. \n\n\n\n\n\nLiz Shuler\nLiz Shuler is the president of AFL-CIO\, the first woman elected to this position. A visionary leader and longtime trade unionist\, Shuler has been invited to speak at the Vatican on the dignity of work\, the rights of workers\, and climate change.

SUMMARY:Climate Change and Migration: Two Interconnected Crises
DESCRIPTION:(All who register will receive a link to the recording.) \nThe immigration crisis and the climate crisis are interconnected. Climate change is one of the driving push factors of global migration as weather related disasters (hurricanes\, drought\, flooding)\, and sea level rise make large swaths of land unusable and undermine the lives and dignity of small farmers and farmworkers and impact many national economies. Our immigrant brothers and sisters who are seeking a new life because of climate change impacts need our support. \nIn this webinar we will explore some of these climate push factors impacting global migration\, how Catholic Social Teaching informs our response\, and hear from those on the ground of the immigration crisis as to how the Church IS responding. \nPanelists: \n● Most Reverend Joseph Tyson\, Bishop of the Diocese of Yakima\, chair of the USCCB’s Pastoral Care for Migrants\, Refugees and Travelers\, and Catholic Climate Covenant’s Episcopal Moderator \n● Chloe Noel\, Environmental Research and Policy Advisor\, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops \n● Jesús de la Torre\, Assistant Director for Global Migration\, Hope Border Institute For more information\, contact paz@catholicclimatecovenant.org.

SUMMARY:Opening Doors Already Unlocked: Creating Space to Recognize and Support Women’s Voices and Leadership
DESCRIPTION:Join the AUSCP Women in the Church Working Group for a 90 minute online gathering of women and priests. Program will include brief testimonies\, a guided Lectio Divina\, Conversations in the Spirit\, and a Q&A. \nGrounded in the Synod’s call for “full implementation of opportunities” and AUSCP’s mission of compassionate\, collegial accompaniment\, this event creates a respectful space for listening\, shared witness\, and pastoral imagination about women’s leadership in parish life. A newly released Final Report from Study Group 5 (3-10-26)\, calls for the creation of “new spaces” for women in diocesan governance and decision-making\, stating that their inclusion is not a concession but a requirement for the Church’s mission. Our webinar will explore concrete proposals illustrated by personal testimonies and audience participation. \nJoin us in this timely work to bring into being a Church where leadership is a shared responsibility of the whole People of God. \nTestimonies include: \nThe Impact of Training Lay Preaching Formation on the Laity and our Church Susan McGurgan ( Director\, Preach All Ways Initiative) \nCreation of Space for Lay Leadership and Impact – Katie Jansen (Parish Life Coordinator; Director of the Work\, St. Francis Xavier College Church) and Tim McMahon\, SJ. Canonical Pastor for St. Francis Xavier (College) Church \nLectio Divina led by Lisa M. Orchen\, M.Div. (Program Director\, Proclaim) \nSmall group Conversations in the Spirit —35 minutes \n\nWhere have you already seen women exercising leadership or preaching in ways that are fully permitted by Church law\, and what fruit have you noticed from those experiences?\nGiven the Synod’s call to fully implement what is already allowed in Canon Law\, what opportunities for women’s leadership or preaching seem most ready to be expanded in parish life?
