Putting the Stargate AI Hype into Perspective, by William M Briggs

By William M Briggs, The Stream - You’ll do yourself and the world a tremendous service if every time you see or hear the term “AI” you substitute the phrase “computer model.”... This is because so-called artificial intelligence (AI) is a computer model — or more specifically, a collection of many such models. When you hear “computer model” instead of “AI,” you’re much less apt to become excited or nervous, and when you speak the substitution it becomes much less easy to boast or to have the boast taken overly seriously... With that in mind, let’s look at the buzz around the government’s new Stargate Project.

By Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, LifeSiteNews - Abp. Carlo Maria Viganò has written a stunning letter celebrating the re-election of Donald J.

Viganò warns of the Deep State and Deep Church, which he believes collude to undermine sovereignty and Catholic teachings through woke ideology, mass immigration, and engineered crises. He condemns the UN, WHO, and WEF for promoting population control and accuses Catholic bishops of financial and moral corruption. He urges Catholics to reject false obedience, defend truth, and resist evil forces aiming to dismantle natural and divine law.

Msgr. Charles Pope: Perspectives on the Presentation—A Homily for the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord

By Msgr. Charles Pope - The liturgical focus of the Feast of the Presentation, which we celebrate (Sunday, Feb. 2nd), is light. Christ is our light, and the people who walked in darkness have seen a great light! In the Gospel, Simeon holds the infant Jesus and calls Him “a light for revelation to the Gentiles.” Thus, this feast has long featured the carrying of candles by the faithful in procession and the blessing of candles. For this reason, the feast was often called Candlemas... (Sunday's) feast celebrates the “purification” of Our Lady. As a Jewish woman, she presented herself forty days after giving birth to be blessed and welcomed back to the community.

Saint of the Day for February 3: St. Blaise

Franciscan Media - We know more about the devotion to Saint Blaise by Christians around the world than we know about the saint himself. His feast is observed as a holy day in some Eastern Churches. In 1222, the Council of Oxford prohibited servile labor in England on Blaise’s feast day. The Germans and Slavs hold him in special honor, and for decades many United States Catholics have sought the annual Saint Blaise blessing for their throats.
