Ten Oddities from Leo XIV’s Encyclical on AI

1. Leo XIV explicitly or humorously said that the single language before the tower of Babel was a lack of diversity. §10: “Let us avoid the ‘Babel syndrome’ … the uniformity that levels differences; the claim of a single — even digital — language…”
2. From the 224 footnotes, Pope Francis is cited 55 times.
3. At the press conference, Pope Leo XIV said that the Church and the US tech company ‘Anthropic’, will walk together to "find the way for humanity."
4. The encyclical includes lots of personalist philosophy, including the erroneous idea of an “infinite” dignity of the person and “total gift of self.”
5. The first third of the document is primarily a theological and social-philosophical framework. The encyclical only becomes focused on technology and AI around §90 of the total 226 paragraphs.
6. Leo XIV's summary of past Catholic Social Teaching includes economic and political documents but ignores marriage and family.
7. Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism,... are framed as religions …More

Our Brains Are Normalizing Atrocity. What the Hell is Happening to Us?

Our Brains Are Normalizing Atrocity. What the Hell is Happening to Us?
There was a time when a single report of a prisoner being raped produced a physical revolt in one's body. The reports come daily now. We feel the shiver less. That is what is happening to us.
Today I read something on someone's
wallpost about how atrocity, sustained long enough, stops being a crisis and becomes a condition. It becomes weather. It becomes the ambient noise of the century. It becomes the thing we scroll past on our way to whatever else the algorithm has decided we should feel today. The shift from crisis to condition is not the failure of attention; it is the achievement of a specific kind of political work, which is the gradual evacuation of moral content from a phenomenon by sheer endurance. The atrocity outlasts our capacity to be horrified. That is the strategy. It has always been the strategy. The Armenians knew this. The Rwandans knew this. The Bosnians knew this, the Native Americans knew this …

Did you know you’re saying a little prayer every time you say “goodbye”?
The word “Goodbye” is a contraction of the late 16th-century English phrase “God be with ye” (or “God be with you”).
Over time it shortened to “God b’w’ye” - “Goodbye.”
So every time you say it, you’re literally blessing the other person.
In Spanish & Portuguese: Adiós (Spanish) and Adeus (Portuguese) both come directly from “a Dios” / “a Deus” = “to God” or “go with God.”
You’re commending the person to God’s care.
French: Adieu comes from “à Dieu” = “to God.”
Same idea — you’re sending them off into God’s hands.
Italian: Addio is also from “a Dio” (“to God”).
You are literally blessing someone every time you say it!

I have said many times on gtv that Putin has his own job. Here it in his own words

Leaving two short video's. One of Megyn Kelly and one of an American reporter with his propaganda in the face of Putin. but Putin as usual will calmly destroy it.
"And don't frighten your people with threats that don't exist"!
I once told mentioned that Putin is not a scientist nor a Doctor. He has his own job to do. He puts his trust in his people to give him correct information. I also mentioned how he doesn't know everything that people are saying in the Kremlin and so on. He has his own job! Right after I mentioned that I see this interview of Putin with Megyn Kelly. Once again proof falling right in my lap to back up what I just said. Happens almost every time. I don't usually have to go hunting for it.

The attack on the school dormitory was “an act of terror,” which crossed the line and again showed “the nefarious character of the Ukrainian government,” Ritter insisted.
So people know, Ukraine struck the school while the children and teachers were sleeping. Ukraine and US and NATO are using the same terrorists actions as Israel is using. KILLING MANY CHILDREN!

Russia hit target ‘worthy of Oreshnik strike’ – Scott Ritter

Moscow is taking action in response to “atrocities” perpetrated by Kiev in Lugansk, the former UN weapons inspector has said
Footage of the Russian strike near Ukrainian capital, Kiev, indicates that an Oreshnik missile was likely deployed by Moscow, former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter has said.
On Sunday night, Ukrainian media outlets and Telegram channels claimed that Russia fired its state-of-the-art intermediate-range hypersonic Oreshnik system at an unspecified target in the town of Belaya Tserkov in Kiev Region. They published footage showing clusters of bright objects rapidly descending from the skies. The Defense Ministry in Moscow has not officially confirmed the use of the munition.
The reported strike came after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Defense Ministry to “submit proposals” for a response to a Ukrainian drone attack on a teacher training school dormitory in the Lugansk People’s Republic on Friday, which killed 21 people, mostly teenage girls, and …

Rappelons-nous que l'Ukraine a lancé une attaque massive de drones contre la Russie pendant le week-end de Pâques, il y a deux ans. Une fête de Pâques qui, cette année-là, coïncidait selon les traditions orientale et occidentale. Preuve que Zelensky et ceux qui dirigent l'Ukraine ne sont en aucun cas catholiques.

FULL DOCUMENTARY: Once Was Lost — The 70-Year Search for Chaplain Emil Kapaun
Father Emil Kapaun, of Pilsen, Kansas, died in a North Korean POW camp in 1951. Since then, he's received the Medal of Honor and is a candidate for sainthood. It was thought his remains were lost forever until March 2021, when the Army made a stunning announcement.

Possible 2008 miracle

On June 29, 2008, the opening ceremony which officially opens the cause for sainthood for Kapaun was made on Father Kapaun Day, held at St. John Nepomucene Catholic Church in Pilsen, Kansas.[46]
On June 26, 2009, Andrea Ambrosi, the Roman postulator for Kapaun's cause for canonization, arrived in Wichita to interview doctors about alleged miraculous events.
Among these is the claim of 20-year-old Chase Kear, who survived a severe head injury last year, in part, he and his family claim, because they petitioned Emil Kapaun to intercede for them.[14][47] Kear, a member of the Hutchinson Community College track team, fell on his head during pole vaulting practice in October 2008, but, it is said, was miraculously healed despite being near death.[47] The Rev. John Hotze, the judicial vicar for the Diocese of Wichita, and trained in canon law, will assist in investigating Kear's case.[6]

Emil Joseph Kapaun (April 20, 1916 – May 23, 1951) was an American Catholic priest and United States Army captain who served as a chaplain during World War II and the Korean War.
Kapaun was a chaplain in the Burma Theater of World War II, then served again as a chaplain with the U.S. Army in Korea, where he was captured. He died in a prisoner of war camp. In 2013, Kapaun posthumously received the Medal of Honor for his actions in Korea. He is the ninth American military chaplain awarded the Medal of Honor. The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) announced Kapaun's body was accounted for on March 2, 2021.
In 1993, Pope John Paul II declared him a Servant of God, the first stage on the path to canonization in the Catholic Church. In 2025, Pope Francis declared him Venerable, the next stage on the path to canonization.

These past few weeks, I keep seeing old photos of churches, especially their interiors, compared beside their current designs. Honestly, it makes me stop and wonder: what exactly happened? Why did we go through this period in Church history where so many beautiful sanctuaries and high altars were destroyed or removed, only to be replaced with what many people now call “modern” sanctuaries, empty white spaces, abstract designs, plain tables, and architecture that feels disconnected from the rest of the church?
Of course, some churches were damaged by wars, fires, earthquakes, and natural disasters. That’s understandable. But what confuses me is that instead of restoring these churches to their original beauty, many decided to completely change direction. Why? What was the reason behind abandoning centuries of sacred art, architecture, and symbolism?
Some churches still have their old high altars thankfully preserved, but sadly they are no longer used. The very altar where the Holy …More

Leo XIV Goes to the Canary Islands as Francis Went to Lampedusa

“Thanks to Francis, the discourse on migration is now established,” the pro-homosexual Madrid Cardinal José Cobo told ReligionDigital.org (May 23).
He asks the rhetorical question why Leo XIV is going to the Canary Islands. His answer: “For the same reason Francis went to Lesbos or Lampedusa.”
One of Cardinal Cobo’s most troubling ideas is his desire to “redefine” human dignity according to “the criteria of our time.”
