The Catholic Morning Show - 05/26/2026

On this episode of the Catholic Morning Show, Deacon Mark Campbell, Alexia Baker, and Ayden Pugh return after Memorial Day weekend with conversations on faith, technology, and the Eucharistic revival happening across the country. The show opens with discussion surrounding Pope Leo XIV’s newly released encyclical on artificial intelligence and the dignity of the human person, exploring how Catholics can thoughtfully engage AI while preserving creativity, human connection, and spiritual responsibility. Later, Kris Frank joins the show to discuss the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage and the free “One Nation Under God” online lecture series launching throughout June. The conversation highlights Eucharistic renewal, America’s 250th anniversary, and the power of public witness to the Catholic faith. The second guest, author Kate Clinch, shares the remarkable story behind Every Inch a Saint, her novel about Servant of God Eileen O’Connor — an Australian woman whose suffering, compassion, and holiness inspired generations.
