Boston sells itself as a colonial city, but fewer than 1 in 100 of its buildings are older than 1850. Most of the city went up between the 1880s and 1930. Only 1 in 20 is newer than 2000.

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.
