Some said the priest avatar was inappropriate, misleading, or just plain creepy. Some said the priest simulated virtual sacraments — indeed, “Fr. Justin” gladly heard The Pillar’s, “confession,” before giving some spiritual guidance and reciting the words of absolution. And some said that an AI apologetics project leans too heavily into unreliable, controversial, and still-confusing technology.

‘I just have to take my lumps’

Catholic Answers COO on 'Fr. Justin' AI pushback

^{The Pillar}

It is one thing to take inspiration from ancient religious texts.

It is a completely different thing to take them literally.

If the authors of those texts had known what we know today about physics, cosmology and evolution their messaging would likely have been quite different.

We live on a rare, small planet in the habitable zone of a stable star.

We are part of nature and have an extended family of millions of species.

All we need to do, is fit in.

Vatican blasts gender-affirming surgery in new 20-page doctrine

The Vatican has declared that gender-affirming surgeries and surrogacy are grave violations of human dignity. A new document from the doctrine office puts them on a par with abortion and euthanasia as practices that violate God’s plan for human life.

Can Jewish Catholics escape their roots?

Behold the 're-Judaisation' of Christianity
