This red disc is my favorite thing in St. Peter's basilica. It's right through the door. You can't help but step on it.
It's made of porphory, a hard-to-mine-and-transport stone which was in the Roman empire reserved for imperial and regal palaces. Emperors have been crowned on that stone.
But when you go in, you step on it, just like this lady did. And that's meant to remind us that in baptism, we share in the royalty of Jesus Christ. Through him, we're called and configured to be kings and queens.
It's written right there in the floor.

Sonnet 116. Patrick's favourite. Take one minute out of your day to hear the bard's words spoken by someone who lived by them.

Rose: "Holy Father, can I tell you a joke?"
Pope Leo: "Is it short? Lots of people want to meet me. Yes yes, okay. What's your joke?"
Rose: "What do you give an Italian ghost for dinner?"
Pope Leo: "I don't know...what do you give an Italian ghost for dinner?"
Rose: "Spookghetti!"
Pope Leo: "Oooooohhhhhoooo..." *cue laughter*

The Pope pretty clearly holds the same position that Aristotle and Augustine and Thomas and MacIntyre and Taylor all hold: that thinking is an action specifically of embodied intellect, that is, of the human organism as a whole. That is, if anything, the opposite of dualism.

We must, then, avoid the “Babel syndrome,” namely the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance. This is the risk of dehumanization: building a future that excludes God and reduces the other to a means.

If Aristotle is right and happiness is the state of the soul in an activity of excellence, then off loading all our creative and intellectual work to AI will make us supremely miserable.

St. John Henry Newman is officially a Doctor of the Church.
Just moments ago in St. Peter’s Square, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV proclaimed the Solemn Formula in Latin to make the Englishman the 38th Doctor of the Universal Church.

I don't mean to put this single person on blast but I cannot help myself from thinking that "Worry about transcendence after we've defeated the Democrats" is the single best summary I've heard of everything wrong with the Catholic conservative world.

At every Mass we ask the Lord Jesus for the gifts of peace and unity in his Church, and at this time of strife and division, Cardinal Cupich could promote peace and unity by withdrawing the invitation to Senator Durbin to receive an award and instead use the event to highlight -

Wait. Is this an American Eagle Jeans commercial?
I read that those were bad.
What if your baby never walks? What if they are never able to live independently?
What if you could have stopped it…
but chose not to?
That’s the question @OrchidInc’s embryo screening forces.
You optimize everything… career, diet, skincare… but you’re going to chance it on your child’s genome, one of the most significant determinants of their health?
