Artificial intelligence (AI) is technology that enables computers and machines to simulate human intelligence and problem-solving capabilities.[1] These days one cannot browse the internet or watch television without hearing about AI and its impending impact on the way we live. From education to industry and even in recreation and in our personal lives, it is[…]
Giovanni Gaulberto (985 – 1073) – or John Gualbert – was born into a noble Italian family, and like many such, had a dissolute youth, in vanities and ‘romantic intrigues’. Hmm. But he was a prodigal son, and what prompted his conversion was one death and one potential death. Not his own, but his brother’s,[…]
The family is the source of all life, and the foundation of all society (Saint John Chrysostom, +407)
July 12th is the day chosen as the feast of the parents of the ‘Little Flower’, for which Louis and Zelie Martin are most renowned.

As he put it: We commemorate this day not to seek vengence, but so history will not repeat itself – when on July[…]
Run while you have the light of life! (Saint Benedict, +543)
We can learn much from those with whom we disagree, even on the most fundamental issues. Extrema se tangunt, goes the Latin proverb – extremes touch each other. Nietzsche is eminently quotable, and his nihilistic philosophy, when taken to its reductio ad absurdam, says much for the benefits of Christianity, as even the atheist Richard[…]
Up-and-coming author Ben Galeski has written three novels thus far, two of them published by Justin Press, and the third about to be.
