In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
@MikeWingerii The Church already has… in fact, it was so immediate that it happened the moment she helped facilitate the procurement of an abortion. If she receives communion now, she only brings damnation upon her soul
Firmly rooted in the Word of Jesus, reading the Gospel every day, never stop dreaming of a land where there is peace and fraternity, nor stop looking at the world with wonder, nor stop facing the future with the light of hope. Do not let anything or anyone steal your hope.
Whenever the "Mormons Aren't Christians" discourse gets going, Mormon Twitter generally responds in one or more of the following ways:
1. Insist that rejecting Jesus's divine nature and His work does not disqualify them from "believing" in Jesus
2. "We are literally the kindest and most righteous people on earth."
3. "Your churches are an abomination but we are just like you and it's so mean of you to say otherwise."
4. Accuse of us misrepresenting what they believe and then tell us what they actually DO believe, which is exactly what we just said they believe.
5. Outright lie about what they believe.
Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
@BradEbann@CalebGoatQB1 A WR room with Moss, Megatron, Hutson, Carter, and Jefferson is not “sneaky” good… it’s the best WR room any division could make
@ComeHometoRome Getting baptized and confirmed tonight with my younger sister who at first thought I was crazy for wanting to become Catholic. All roads truly lead to Rome
@WordProvesTrue@ShamelessPopery It does follow. If the main “Protestant” a Catholic encounters is Taco, then Taco becomes the face of Protestantism to them, fair or not. Perception often forms from exposure, just like how tissues are often called Kleenex even though most aren’t actually Kleenex
