Either everyone is a way faster reader than me or a lot of people have been posting about Magnifica Humanitas (154 pages and released today) without actually reading it. I just finished. Very solid. I might write a long review at some point but here is a very short one. Leo approached the subject from a strongly Trinitarian and Catholic perspective. He reaffirmed the Catholic world view of humanity, and gave some great guidelines for the use and development of AI. A lot of focus was on protection of policy, human rights and human connection. His discussion on war and the use of AI was particularly helpful. Hopefully the world will listen.











So here's my situation: - We had a wedding 23 years ago in the Episcopal Church. - I was Catholic, she was not - Was assured at the time that the marriage would be "valid, yet irregular" - She converted to Catholicism 12 years ago - No one cared or found a problem at Catholic Churches we attended with our marriage which produced four children - Move to a traditional Church - Marriage found to be invalid - Ordered to cease marital relations until marriage can be convalidated. Am I allowed to kiss my long-term live-in girlfriend?

My thoughts go out to Tulsi Gabbard and her family, as her husband battles this serious health problem. I hope and pray that he makes a speedy and full recovery. While the circumstances around her departure are deserving of our sympathy, let’s be clear: Tulsi Gabbard’s only positive contribution to our nation's national security is her resignation. She politicized intelligence. She dismantled critical agencies keeping Americans safe. She weaponized the IC to pursue baseless election fraud claims. And more. We must ensure that her tenure — marked by a devotion to the person of the president and not to the security of the country — represents a terrible exception at DNI and not the new normal.
