And we're live. Welcome back to the Loopcast. It's Tom Erica and Josh. And I've never seen so many people comment on social media for us to address something at this point. So apparently Trump got a hold of an AI generator in the White House account posted an AI generated image of him as the Pope. I've seen varying reactions from this is the most sacrilegious thing I've ever seen immediate

apology. I've seen other people say it was a joke and downplay it. Some people very fond of

organizations like the sisters from perpetual indulgence have now discovered their Catholic faith.

All kinds of interesting elements of this story that I'd like to get into. But other than that, we have a lot of other stuff to cover.

Erica, what else are we going over today?

Yeah, so not only are we doing Trump buzz, but we're also going to get into

conclave buzz.

Obviously, this is a huge week, to use a Trump term, huge week for the church.

And Mercer is headed over to Roma to straighten out all of the Cardinal Lectors.

Thank you.

But there's a lot of buzz. So we're going to kind of, you know, give a little survey of that,

what's going on, what's going on in the media. We're going to talk about great news coming

out of the Department of Homeland Security, I believe. Pogo is going to talk about that.

We've got great news out of Florida.

But we also have some not so great news out of the state of Washington when it comes to the seal of the confessional under threat from the so-called Catholic governor of that state.

We'll talk about that.

And then we want your tips.

How do you travel with children coming up on the summer months? I can't talk

today. More coffee. I'm a little bit, I'm a little bit fried from our partying this weekend. So you've got to

forgive me. Eric, a party animal. First communion. We had a first communion this weekend. And it was glorious,

but I am a little frightened. I'll say one of my favorite things about the Ahern family is they love to throw ragers at the appropriate time.

They're like liturgically consistent ragers, probably how it should be that we've all just lost touch with.
