Unusual activity at the Vatican as reports break that Pope Francis may be about to resign. (And we are there!)

It always struck me that God didn’t bring back/resurrect Job’s original children. Like they just stay dead and the story happily concludes with Job getting new children. It just felt so callous, like they were just pawns in a game, not unique people with lives, dreams, & souls.

Defeating death would be humanity's greatest accomplishment.

The idea that all men are created equal is so preposterous that it hardly even merits refutation. Every day with our own two eyes, all of us see how absurd this claim is. Some people are smarter than others. Some are stronger. Others are taller, more beautiful, more athletic, etc. Some people discover the Theory of General Relativity or the Schrödinger Equation, while others are incapable of dressing themselves in the morning or tying their shoes. The Founding Fathers were categorically wrong when they wrote this line into the Declaration of Independence, and not even they themselves believed it. It’s the ultimate embodiment of liberal enlightenment thinking that sounds wonderfully elegant and makes you feel good for even uttering it…until this claim runs head first into the brick wall of reality. Now with all of that said, I understand why Joel takes the position he does. He believes, not without evidence, that it is dangerous to admit that no one among us is created equally. But that danger is not hand waved away simply by asserting something that makes you feel good while being fundamentally false (and which every single person alive understands to be false deep down inside). The greater danger lies in pretending that we do not already have hierarchies being imposed from above. What do you think we have now? There’s an entire ruling class of liberal elite already imposed upon us in every institution you can imagine, both inside and outside of government. The very thing Joel Berry fears has already come to pass, and this artificial hierarchy crushes dissent far more ruthlessly than kings could ever imagine. They also wield far more power than any king ever could either. These are the same people who have the power to tell us that urinals are art, that words are violence while actual violence is the language of the oppressed, that men can become women, and that mutilating children or killing them in the womb constitutes healthcare. The very tyranny Joel Berry keeps worrying about the Postliberal Right imposing has already happened to us. The problem is this tyranny cloaks itself in the same moralistic language that Joel just accepts without any pushback, and so he cannot condemn it as forcefully as he condemns this hypothetical Postliberal future without admitting that there is a fatal flaw in his own ideology.

Introducing Father Justin, the New Interactive AI from Catholic Answers Catholic Answers, the number-one lay Catholic apostolate of apologetics and evangelization, is excited to announce the release of our new “Father Justin” interactive AI app. This innovative digital application employs the latest artificial intelligence technology to provide users with faithful and educational answers to questions about Catholicism. Seekers may also engage in a back-and-forth interaction to pursue further information with the 3D AI character. “Our goal with the Father Justin app is to leverage the power of large language models—or ‘LLMs’—to create an engaging and informative experience for those exploring the Catholic faith,” says Chris Costello, director of I.T. at Catholic Answers. “Although this is not a substitute for human interaction with a priest, teacher, or spiritual advisor, we believe it can be a valuable tool to help our users better understand and articulate the teachings of the Catholic faith.” The decision to use a parish priest character was purposeful. “We wanted to convey the spirit and nature of the responses users can expect—authoritative yet approachable, drawing from the deep well of Catholic tradition and teaching,” Costello explains. “We believe that the presentation of Father Justin honors real-life priests and the role they play in people’s lives, yet we are confident that our users will not mistake the AI for a human being.” The name "Father Justin" was chosen for this AI priest as a tribute to St. Justin Martyr, an early Christian convert and Church Father who is one of the patron saints of apologetics. The Father Justin app is available now on the Catholic Answers website, catholic.com. Users are encouraged to explore the app, utilize the search feature on the site for additional resources, and seek guidance from their local parish priests or spiritual advisors on serious matters or for further clarification. As a leading Catholic apostolate, Catholic Answers is committed to leveraging the latest technologies to advance its mission of explaining and defending the Catholic faith. The Father Justin app is the latest example of this commitment, providing a new and appealing way for searchers to begin or continue their journey of faith. Sign up for FREE to begin interacting with Father Justin here: ow.ly/wXH150RmtAN Note: At this time, Father Justin only works on desktop computer browsers, but we hope to release a mobile-friendly version soon.
