Marriage & Family

By Bishop James D. Conley, The Catholic Thing - Today, we are faced with a similar problem, but on a wildly greater scale. Artificial Intelligence and related technologies will now be able to use our reliance on screen-delivered mediating technologies and throw us into something close to total confusion about what is real and what isn’t... Deep-fake videos are now often indistinguishable from real ones. Soon, you won’t know whether you are in a Zoom meeting with a real person or with an AI-created chatbot who looks just like a real person. Voices can now be faked to the point where even family members cannot tell the difference. “Proof of reality” is going to become a thing.

By Patrick Hampton, Patriot Post - My father then explained a fundamental conservative principle: personal responsibility. He believed that relying on government assistance could encourage dependence and discourage working hard. Instead, he emphasized the importance of taking responsibility for oneself and paying for one’s needs through effort and hard work. He explained that we should be self-reliant rather than expecting government programs to support us.

Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International - The Catholic Church views the family as a fundamental unit of society and faith. Family roles and responsibilities are shaped by teachings on love, sacrifice, and service. And parents hold a primary duty to raise children in the Catholic faith... This duty goes beyond academic learning to include moral and spiritual formation. Parents are to teach their children about God, prayer, and the sacraments. Parents, as mentioned by Pope Leo, must model virtues like charity, patience, and honesty in daily life – helping their children to follow their example.

By Joshua Monnington, The Federalist - Fathers are some of the hardest people to buy gifts for. Ask them what they want, and they don’t know. They finally figured out something they wanted, but it’s too late for you to gift it — they already went out and bought it, again. Deep down inside, you just want to get the dad in your life a gift that will match his masculinity and not send him digging for the receipt. The bad news is that there’s no foolproof list; the good news is that this is (pretty much) as close as it gets.
