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.
“O God who by Thine ineffable providence didst deign to send Thine holy Angels for our protection: grant to Thy suppliants both to be always defended by their protection, and to rejoice in their eternal fellowship.”

@RepThomasMassie Thank you so much for bringing these articles of impeachment forward. We need to return to the rule of law and decency. War crimes are chickens that WILL come home to roost.
In 1626, England’s Parliament sought to impeach the Duke of Buckingham, a widely despised advisor to King Charles I. The king moved quickly to shield his favorite; on hearing the news, he said curtly that Parliament would sit “not a minute” more and gave orders for its immediate dissolution.
Exactly four centuries later, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) has taken a page from the Stuart playbook, dismissing our own legislature (or at least, its lower chamber) to protect an unpopular official.

If you’re a fan of mine, he doesn’t want your vote in the midterms. Oct 1, Trump, “Thomas Massie is a sleazebag, comes from Kentucky. He was semi-popular, but not somebody that could be beaten. And I campaigned against him, and I beat him in the election.”

@KyCourtClerk@Tim__SomeCallMe@RepThomasMassie@Jtodd601 Republicans and Democrats are one party. Besides, More Democrat legislation has been passed than Republican. All this under Mike Johnson with a Republican majority in the house and senate. Republicans just punted the ball on first down.
Today's saint undoubtedly professed faith in the Petrine office that continued in the “chair of Peter” occupied by the successive Bishops of Rome as part of the divine institution of the true Christian Church.

This has to be one of the coolest things I’ve seen.
Noah’s Ark.
I remember hearing about Turkey being known to be the Ark’s location years ago.
Now scientists are actually boldly working to prove it’s real.
Thank you for sharing this with us, Lauren.

He hurled Lucifer from Heaven, guarded Moses' body, and escorts souls to God. Meet the angel powerful enough to make even the devil flinch: Saint Michael.
Today is his feast-day. Happy Michaelmas, everyone!
