AI, Faith, and the Future: Becoming the Person God Created You to Be in a Digital World

If I could sit down with a group of university students and young adults today, there is one conversation I would want us to have. It would not begin with computers or robots. It would begin with a much more important question: What kind of person do you want to become?

As you prepare for your future, you will make decisions about your studies, your career, your friendships, and perhaps one day your marriage and family. At the same time, you are entering a world where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming part of everyday life. Technology will influence many of those decisions. But it should never define the person you become. That is why this article is not really about AI. It is about you. It is about building a life of wisdom, character, and faith in a world that is changing faster than ever before.

The eight questions that follow are an invitation to think beyond technology and to consider something far more important: how to build a life of character in an age of Artificial Intelligence. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog...

Ethical Perspectives

New! Walking with and Understanding Your Gender-Confused Child

Susan Ciancio
Not knowing or loving yourself is one of the fiercest battles we face as human beings. Countless people suffer from low self-esteem, from self-doubt, and even from self-loathing. But what happens when these feelings are compounded by a lack of comfort or even a disgust about your sex organs? This is what people face when they experience gender dysphoria, and it's incredibly confusing when it's a child - especially when it's your child.

New! Compassion and Love Can Prevent Euthanasia

Marie Brousseau
The elderly are immense gifts to society, yet too often today we see that our culture focuses on personal fulfillment, which can then lead to the neglect of people who are no longer deemed necessary or productive. This includes the sick and the elderly, who may feel lonely, abandoned, and isolated from their own families.

Against False Technological Necessity

Emily Hancock
AI can shift how we communicate with one another, what work looks like for many roles, how relationships unfold, and how we order our lives. Much of our reaction to these projects reflects the understanding that this technology has the power to reshape the way humanity marches into the future, and not always in a way that serves the greater good.

Imperfect Pro-Life Lawmaking in Post-Dobbs America

Stephen G. Gilles
By re-energizing a state's pro-life base and attracting enough swing voters to tip the scales, the movement can make real, even if "imperfect," progress toward ending elective abortion in America.

Magnifica Humanitas: On Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence

Bill Muehlenberg
Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical confronts the promises and perils of artificial intelligence, urging humanity to defend human dignity in an increasingly dehumanised age.

A mighty deed for "the little ones"

Tom Bartolomeo
Parents can find help raising their children in the faith outside the usual sources. All it takes is determination and faith.

The Transgender Matrix: It's Time to Choose the Red Pill

Walt Heyer

Detailed Analysis of Canadian bill C-56
Assisted Human Reproduction Act

Dianne N. Irving
Of all of the legislations that I have been asked to analyze -- on the basis of the correct science used, the linguistic loopholes employed, and the "genre" of "ethics" assumed -- this Bill is probably the most problematic.

America Has Tolerated Murder for Years

Judie Brown
Lost in our national debate these past few weeks has been acknowledgment of one fundamental truth: Every human individual whose right to life is, according to the Declaration of Independence, an unalienable right, is equally important and deserves equal protection under the law. Without recognition of this fact, anything is possible, including violence, racism, and other expressions of hatred toward the human being - born and preborn.

Fired for speaking the truth

Barbara Kralis
Maryland Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. fired Smith on June 15 because he spoke against sodomy during a local cable television round-table discussion. During a taped June 9 weekly-televised show, Smith told the program's discussion panel that same-sex marriage was wrong and homosexuality was a deviancy.

Wisdom From Above (9/19/21 Ordinary Time 25)

Proclaim Sermons
Our text contrasts a false self-seeking "wisdom" with "wisdom from above" that leads to good relationships. The whole letter of James focuses on right behavior, and says little about Jesus by name. But in light of traditions about wisdom in the Hebrew scriptures that Christians used to speak about Jesus, we can see the letter's encouragement to live with wisdom as another way of speaking about following Jesus.

Peak woke: are we there yet?

"I am fearfully, wonderfully made"

Michael D. Pfeifer
That the precious unborn children of God are truly human beings, persons, has been our Catholic belief for ages. The value of human life must be truly great for the son of God to make it the instrument of our salvation. Human life as a gift from God is sacred and inviolable. May we commit ourselves to Christ and his mother with urgent prayer, fasting, dialogue and pastoral action so that our country and every state will uphold the dignity of each unborn child.
