Addressing the FAKE Videos of Me (w/ Fr. Mike Schmitz)

There have been numerous fake videos of Fr. Mike circulating online: clips of him supposedly asking for money for Lourdes, delivering sermons he never gave, and appearing on accounts that aren’t actually his.

These are all scams — and a concerning reminder of how easy it is to be deceived by AI-generated content.

Fr. Mike addresses these scams, shares tips for spotting fake content, and offers his perspective on artificial intelligence.

If you come across any AI profiles or questionable videos, please send the link(s) to support@ascensionpress.com so our team can work on getting them removed. Thank you for helping us protect Fr. Mike's name, image, and likeness!
