The Holy Father echoes my own concerns about the "elite" and the contempt in which they hold the common man:

[Fr. John Naugle @FatherNaugle]

28. Elites and Their Contempt

"We live in a world where the elites view the common man as a problem to be solved and the leaders elected by the common man anxiously present themselves as lapdogs to these elites..."

I think the Onion (which lost the ability to be funny when it went full woke) is trying to make fun of RFK Jr. here... But it comes off making him sound Chuck Norris-like.

Because it’s obvious sodomy is unnatural, destructive (to the soul and anatomically), and disgusting. And the more its nature is openly discussed, the more it becomes (rightly) reviled.

Of course, we love those who struggle with same-sex attraction and sins such as these. I am prone to my own set of sinful behavior, about which I must be ever-vigilant and repent if I fall. Those who would flatter me otherwise don’t “love” me—in truth, they hate me.

So I will never hate my brothers and sisters who struggle with such sins by supporting them in them.

Those who engage in sodomy and related sins are in the exact same boat as me: sinners in need of repentance. To embrace “pride” in such behaviors is, in truth, to hate sinners, not love them. It is to consign their souls to Satan.

True love says to that: “No.”

America,among all industrialized nations, ranks 37th in 1st day infant deaths.
Bolivia is ranked 36th & we are one above Nigeria.
Think about that.
36 other countries have better outcomes with their newborn babies than us.
Are pharma profits really more important than our babies?

It always makes me so happy that we celebrate St. Charles Lwanga and Companions right near the start of Pride Month. They were martyred because they refused to engage in homosexual acts with their king.

Reject Pride. Embrace humility and find what you are willing to die for.

[Fr. John Naugle @FatherNaugle]

King Mwanga = the face of "pride"

[Catholic Sat @CatholicSat]

Today is Feast of St. Charles Lwanga and Companions, the Ugandan Martyrs; 22 converts to the Catholic faith executed by King Mwanga II of Buganda in 1886, after he became enraged that they rejected his homosexual advances and refused to engage in sodomy with him. Orate pro nobis

NEW: There were *TWO* tense Trump-Netanyahu calls on Monday. It was the second where Trump tore into Bibi, demanding Israel pull back from attacks on Beirut and that Bibi should listen bc Trump had kept him out of prison (as Axios first reported).

[Fr. John Naugle @FatherNaugle]

If you're going to read any summary of Magnifica Humanitas, read Dr. Feser's.

Too many commentaries have, inconceivably, ignored the actual thesis completely, namely the call not to use "new things" to build a Tower of Babel.

One of the reasons that Magnifica Humanitas has resonated with so many people is that, thus far, we have had zero guidance as to how we should engage with this new species of technology.

As a university professor,* I have sat on many committees filled with waffling and gushing and worrying and scheming and generally wasting an exorbitant amount of time discussing AI. We droll on about the trivial ways we use it in our classrooms: how we use it for lesson plans, how we have our students use it, how we hate it, how we love it — and how we can keep our students from cheating.

And, of course, there's the endless corporate babble about how we need a "paradigm shift" and to "democratize this" and to "integrate that" and to "empower the other thing" and we need to come up with "best practices" and "gentle suggestions" for how we should use large language models.

Hours wasted — and no semblance of direction.

I don't believe the secular institutions are capable of answering any of these questions that they pose. There needs to be a unifying social doctrine to provide direction, and secular institutions are not capable of that. They are trying to negotiate a new theory of ethics and human flourishing by committee — which sounds like a bit out of the imagination of Douglas Adams.

The Holy Father has given us a direction.

That's why the #MagnificaHumanitas has resonated with so many people. The world is aching for some sort of clear-eyed direction. People are scared.

Finally, we have an authoritative dictum on the proper way to engage with this new and terrifying technology. We have a way forward — and it comes from the oldest institution in the world.

The future of AI is Catholic.

So great listening to this conversation. I've been following the work of Father Sirico @robertsirico and the Acton Institute for about 25 years since my undergrad days in Economics.

A book review I wrote with my advisor from back in those days:

How long can people who claim to support Trump watch a foreign leader defy and embarrass him?

At what point does your support create an offense that a foreign power is insulting our president?
