Homily of Cardinal Burke in Chartres: Cardinal Raymond Burke celebrated the final Mass of the Chartres pilgrimage on Pentecost Monday in the traditional Roman rite. Compared to his usual rhetorics about the crisis in the Church, he remained comparatively restrained: “The grace of the Holy Spirit has been transmitted to us unfailingly from apostolic times down to the present day.” And: “Through this pilgrimage, we renew our response … to the spiritual crisis of the world and of the Church.”

Carlos Whittaker did a 7.5-week no-screen experiment and the results are wild. No phone. No TV. No laptop. No watch. Nothing. He even got his brain scanned before and after by a neuroscientist. The outcome? His cerebellum healed years worth of damage in just seven weeks. His cognitive memory score jumped from the 50th percentile to the 99th percentile of adult men in America. He said he felt like a completely different human, sharper, clearer, more alive.
Try 2 days without watching any video screen, recorded audio, listening to radio, recorded music etc. basically no recorded or amplified noise. (playing an acoustic guitar or violin etc.ok as long as it’s not through an amplifier).. you will feel the difference.
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, 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 of …Bontsi
Encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, paragraph 25 reads: “I reiterated that the Church ‘does not want to raise the banner of the possession of the truth’, because truth is not a territory to be defended, but a good to be shared.”
The first papal encyclical on artificial intelligence, Magnifica Humanitas (May 15, 38,000 words), contains lots of truisms but also a bit of everything and nothing. The central contradiction of Magnifica Humanitas is that it condemns centralized technological power and “Babel-like” global systems, while simultaneously demanding supranational governing structures to regulate AI worldwide. In the encyclical, "Babel" becomes a symbol of a civilization built on centralized power, uniformity, and human self-sufficiency. §5 warns that private, often transnational actors possess “resources and capabilities superior to those of many governments,” giving them “impressive power over all of humanity.” However, the proposed solution is stronger international coordination and global governance of AI. The encyclical calls for an “international order” (§33), “universal fraternity” (§44), and globally shared moral principles for governing AI. §64 calls for “more effective forms of cooperation …Bontsi
Anthropic's co-founder just went to the Vatican, sat before the Pope and a room of cardinals, and told them his team keeps finding "mysterious, even unsettling" things inside their AI models. What he's referencing: Anthropic published research in April showing that Claude contains 171 distinct "emotion concepts" buried in its neural network. Internal patterns representing joy, grief, fear, desperation, calm. None of them were programmed. They emerged on their own from training on human text. "We find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience." "We find evidence of introspection, internal states that functionally mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease." These aren't surface-level outputs. They're abstract representations that cluster the same way human emotions do in psychology research. Fear groups with anxiety. Joy groups with excitement. The internal geometry of the model mirrors ours. And they're functional. When researchers artificially stimulated "desperation …Bontsi

Pro-Lifers Destroy the “Babies Are Parasites” Argument Sign the pro-life petition to defund Planned Parenthood here Defund Planned Parenthood to End Abortion NOW Ready for a rematch, TFP Student Action returned to Millersville University to defend the unborn and oppose the culture of death. Although universities are supposed to be places where science, reason, and truth prevail, many woke students on campus appeared more interested in relativism and emotional slogans than in objective moral truth. Pro-abortion students made shocking claims: · “An unborn human is like a tumor.” · “I was a parasite before I took my first breath.” · “That white men make up moral absolutes.” In traditional TFP style, Student Action volunteers responded to the rudeness and racism with chivalry, charity, logic, and the simple facts. A pro-life college student voiced her support for the campaign saying: “I believe that when a child is conceived, there …Bontsi
On 16 May, during a visit by young people from the Archdiocese of Genoa, Leo XIV joined a group of teenagers in Rome in making the "6-7" hand gesture. It was popularised by rapper Skrilla in his song 'Doot Doot'. The teenagers told the Pope that they wanted him to learn the gesture because "kids all over the world greet each other like this". Catholics greet one another by invoking the name and peace of God.
Papst Leo zeigt im Vatikan die 6-7-Handgeste. „6-7“ hat keine genau definierte Bedeutung. Englischsprachige Medien beschreiben „6-7“ als eine „bedeutungslose Phrase“, deren Zweck gerade in ihrer Inhaltslosigkeit liegt. Nutzer verwenden den Ausdruck hauptsächlich, um ihre Zugehörigkeit zu einem Trend oder einer Online-Community auszudrücken. Laut dem englischsprachigen Online-Wörterbuch Dictionary.com ist die Bedeutung von „6-7“ vage, da Kinder und Jugendliche der Generationen Z und Alpha ihn verwenden, um Absurdität und Humor auszudrücken, was manchmal absolut nichts bedeutet. 6abc Philadelphia

Doing the 6 - 7 gesture automatically makes one totally cool and relatable to the young and therefore converts the young. One must remember that being a serious Catholic is not cool to the young.

Today, the Vatican’s Secretariat of the Synod released another document, 18 pages long, outlining the implementation phase of the Vatican’s synod. It follows a May 18 meeting between Cardinal Mario Grech, the secretary general of the Synod, and Pope Leo XIV. The text claims that synodality is “a constitutive dimension of the Church” (Page 9). It says that the final reports of the synod study groups “should be received and integrated” into the ongoing discernment process. One of these reports — Synod Study Group 9 — included testimonies from homosexuals as well as pro-homosexual language. At the upcoming assemblies, the document suggests broad inclusion of all kinds of people, including a “balance between men and women” and people living in “situations of fragility or marginality” [= homosexuals]. The document further recommends involving voices “not directly traceable to ecclesial structures.” And: “It might also be worth considering inviting representatives of other Christian …Bontsi
And the ‘Walls’ of Love Came Tumbling Down Or, how a modern psychologist had it out for the Catholic Church and joined forces with the so-called Progressives to wreck her sacred tradition. Carl Ransom Rogers (January 8, 1902 – February 4, 1987) was an American psychologist who was one of the founders of humanistic psychology and was known especially for his person-centered psychotherapy. Rogers was widely considered one of the founding fathers of psychotherapy research. He helped to devastate very large parts of the Church.
