Then, suddenly, we were traveling to Texas to meet our newborn son, Peter—and dealing with a very different reality than the one we'd planned for...

We’ve reached the conclusion of our Magnifica Humanitas series, and this final chapter made us realize we may have been asking the wrong question.

We talk about the Incarnation, the Eucharist, human weakness, education, relationships, Mary’s Magnificat, and Nehemiah re...

In Chapter 1 of Magnifica Humanitas , Amanda and Jonathan step back from AI itself to look at the framework the Church will use to evaluate it.
