About this listen

 Explore Catholic Theology through the lens of Artificial Intelligence. The Depositum synthesizes the Douay-Rheims Bible, the Council of Trent, and the Haydock Commentary to answer the deepest questions of the faith.Our name comes from the Latin Depositum Fidei ("The Deposit of Faith")—the body of revealed truth in Scripture and Tradition guarded by the Church.Who is this show for?
  • The Skeptic: Wondering if the Bible is reliable?
  • The Protestant: Curious about the biblical roots of the Mass?
  • The Catholic: Looking to deepen your grasp of Dogma?
We use secure, hallucination-resistant AI to tackle hard topics—from the Trinity to the Real Presence—making the historic intellect of the Church accessible for your morning commute.Disclaimer: These voices are AI-generated. While we employ rigorous QA/QC processes to vet the output, AI synthesis can still make mistakes. This is a tool for study and evangelism, not a replacement for the Magisterium.

    What You'll Learn:

    • The "Three Pillars" method for hallucination-resistant theology.
    • Why we use the Douay-Rheims, Haydock Commentary, and Council of Trent.
    • How to access the richness of Christian truth—roots, branches, and all.
