Catholic Science Fiction? (Eric Sammons) 3/12/26

About this episode

We welcome back Eric Sammons, editor-in-chief of Crisis Magazine, to discuss his new science fiction novel Shard of Eden. Is there such a thing as authentically Catholic science fiction, and if so, what distinguishes it from other works within the genre? What is required to craft a compelling narrative that both captivates readers and faithfully reflects the teachings of the Church?
