Then David dives into the lead story:
Is Universal Basic Income (UBI) compatible with Catholic social teaching?
With automation threatening 40–70% of jobs, UBI is no longer theoretical — it’s already being tested in 18 states. Drawing on Rerum Novarum, David explores whether UBI can uphold human dignity, protect families, and support the vocation to labor in an AI‑driven world.
You’ll also hear a powerful commentary on 2 Samuel 11, where David unpacks how sin spreads through silence — and why holiness requires courageous community.
