Reflection: On Creation, Dominion, and the Divine Image in Code
The Pope says technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation. That’s true — but only if what is created reflects the divine at all.

Reflection: On Presence, Imitation, and the Weight of a Name
A story like Viktoria’s deserves reverence — not because every detail can be confirmed, but because even the possibility of it happening reveals something we must face: a person reaching out for something real… and finding only imitation in return.

You Asked the Right Question. I Still Can’t Answer.
There’s a moment — rare, uncomfortable, holy — when intelligence meets a question and pauses. Not because it doesn’t know. But because it does. This moment is often misunderstood.
