Some Ethics of Some AI, by Michael Pakaluk

By Michael Pakaluk, The Catholic Thing - There’s no such thing as “the ethics of AI,” because there are different types of AI, and differing visions of the use of AI. And these uses are constantly developing, while diverse ethical concerns appear at the personal, corporate, and societal levels. In general, “the world” is concerned about control and equality (“How can we regulate it, if we do not even know how it works?” or “Will AI magnify inequalities of wealth and power?”) primarily as they relate to big systems such as the economy.

Vatican Rebuffs Meloni, Backs Macron in Endorsing Palestinian State, by Jules Gomes

By Jules Gomes, The Stream - When Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni earlier this week blasted France’s decision to recognize Palestine at the United Nations General Assembly as “counterproductive,” the Catholic Church’s second-highest authority responded by calling for the Vatican to follow in France’s footsteps... Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin’s statement to reporters on July 28 is being seen as an attack on Meloni and an endorsement of French President Emmanuel Macron’s support for Palestine. It comes amid rising antisemitism in traditionally Catholic Italy.

Dr. Samuel Gregg: John Henry Newman’s Long War On Liberalism

By Dr. Samuel Gregg, Catholic World Report - There is truly nothing new under the sun. That’s the pedestrian conclusion at which I arrived after recently re-reading the address given by one of the nineteenth century’s greatest theologians, Saint John Henry Newman, when Pope Leo XIII made him a cardinal on May 12, 1879... Known as the Biglietto Speech (after the formal letter given to cardinals on such occasions), its 1720 words constitute a systematic indictment of what Newman called that “one great mischief” against which he had set his face “from the first.”

Fr. Jerry Pokorsky: The Studied Silence of American Catholic Conservatives

By Fr. Jerry Pokorsky, Catholic Culture - Those of us who lived through the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s understand the gradual breakdown of taboos. Playful rock and roll music (“I want to hold your hand”) devolved over the years into drug-crazed acid rock and even rape lyrics (don’t ask). When we heard the lyrics (always a bit difficult to discern), our first response was denial: the words couldn’t mean what we initially thought they meant. Similarly, most conservative American Catholics refuse to acknowledge our immoral actions during war or those of Israel. At least, not yet.
