Leo’s first encyclical invites Catholics to ‘get our hands dirty’ with AI: Patrick Hudson reports for @The_Tablet thetablet.co.uk/news/leos-firs…

What does it mean to be a flourishing human being in a time of AI? As @AnnaRowlands1 explained in Rome this morning Magnifica Humanitas warns of a growing culture of power that is reshaping work, family, education, and political life, and calls us to transform dominating modes of power into forms of shared power, and to measure technological developments not by efficiency and profit but by their contribution to social and ethical progress. thetablet.co.uk/news/integral-…

‘The Mass for #Orbán’s regularly held in previous years when he was in power, reflects continuing tensions in the Church following #Fidesz’s landslide defeat by Magyar’s centre-right #Tisza party.’ —My latest reporting for @The_Tablet. thetablet.co.uk/news/budapest-…

The West is suffering from a lack of meaning, Iain McGilchrist writes in a terrific piece in @The_Tablet this week, and (ambivalent tho he is about its tendency to want truth to be propositional & explicit) only a recovery of Christianity – with the riches of its ritual, its community, its shared life of joy, suffering, compassion and care – will save us from the bankrupt vision of reductive materialism. thetablet.co.uk/features/the-b…
