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.
John Harbaugh was asked for his assessment of Jameis Winston's game today:
"I thought Jameis did what was required in this game. The first thing you have to do is what's necessary, what's required. After that, then you can do what's possible, then maybe the impossible becomes possible. That's from St. Francis of Assisi, in case you were wondering."
If you think it’s a strange feeling being a foreigner in a country that isn’t yours, imagine what it’s like seeing tens of millions of foreigners in a country that is yours.
Why on earth should British men leave their home with immigrants to fight Russia for the EU when they’re not even allowed to fly their own country’s flag at home or defend their own country’s borders?
The Catholic Church was absolutely correct on marriage, divorce, contraception, and abortion.
Popes of the past warned what would happen if the family was not the center of society and you're living in that smoking heap of a civilization right now.
I know I’ve been posting a lot recently, but as Fr. Richard John Neuhaus used to say, “it’s a target-rich environment” right now.
The governor of Massachusetts just signed into law a statute that permits abortion up until the moment of birth, as long as mother and doctor give the go-ahead.
Please understand what this means. A fully-formed child, moments before exiting the birth canal, can be eviscerated, chopped into pieces, have its head crushed or skin burned off—all under the full protection of Massachusetts law.
What I found particularly gross was the reaction of the entirely female crowd around the female governor of Massachusetts as she signed this barbaric provision into law. They were clapping and cackling with delight because what can only be called infanticide can now be practiced with impunity in their state.
I’m old enough to remember when Mario Cuomo, the devoutly Catholic governor of New York, admitted that, though he found abortion personally repugnant, he was, after tortured wrestling with his conscience, willing to give it limited protection of law.
How far we have fallen from agonized and conflicted Cuomo to the present governor of Massachusetts and her entourage gleefully applauding the murder of children.
Ladies. Your career should not look like a man’s career.
Your body is primed for children in your 20s and early 30s. Not your 40s. Not whenever you make partner or the White House speculation dies down.
You don't need to artificially suspend your fertility when young nor cryogenically bank it (with questionable success rates) when you're aging.
Your career should be more flexible, creative, and peak later than your husband's.
Real equality is recognizing how your body is different from a man's and working with it rather than against it.
If you're ingesting or injecting hormones to get the life you want, that's not empowerment. That's internalized misogyny.
You can’t discuss a serious conservative movement while tolerating homosexuals buying children
This extreme evil must be purged and until it is don’t try to tell me about how we are winning
Facebook freakout underway in response our billboards across the Midwest.
What about children in foster care! What about step families! What about abusive biological parents!
1. All those children also have one mother and one father.
2. Noticed that those scenarios share something with children who have "two moms" and "two dads."
They all involve loss, pain, and fragmentation for children.
That's the proper way of understanding same-sex headed households. It's just another manifestation of broken homes.
Are you kidding me? @GovKathyHochul shuts down power plants, hands our energy grid over to foreign-owned solar companies, and now, in the middle of a heat wave, she's telling New Yorkers to turn off their AC? People are elderly. People have kids. People are sick. This isn't a request; it's an admission that she broke the grid and she's making working families pay for it, literally and physically. I'm done watching New Yorkers get gaslit by a governor who caused this mess and then blames the weather. Enough.
