YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In this episode of "One Nation Under God," host Susie Pinto sits down with the Rev. Richard D'Souza, the recently appointed director of the Vatican Observatory under Pope Leo XIV.

The Indian-born Jesuit traces his journey from Kuwait to Goa and now the Vatican Observatory while breaking down why the Catholic Church has been studying the stars for over four centuries. From the priest who discovered the big bang theory to Pope Leo XIV’s stance on artificial intelligence, D'Souza discusses how faith and reason are not as opposed to one another as many might believe. And don't miss his advice from a faith perspective on how to approach the UFO phenomenon.
