“Are there doctrinal differences on the Septuagint?” This question leads to a discussion on the major distinctions between Protestant and Catholic views, particularly regarding the seven additional books. The conversation also touches on the moral implications of generative AI, the Church’s response to potential ex-cathedra proclamations, and the interpretation of visions experienced during psychedelic ceremonies.
