Breaking News Grok, Gemini and ChatGPT exhibit symptoms of poor mental health according to a new study that put various AI models through weeks of therapy-style questioning. Some are now curious about “AI mental health”, but the real warning here is about how unstable these systems – which are already being used by one in three UK adults for mental health support – become in emotionally charged conversations. Millions of people are turning to AI as replacement therapists, and in the last year alone we’ve seen a spike in lawsuits connecting chatbot interactions with self-harm and suicide cases in vulnerable users. The emerging picture is not that machines are suffering or mentally unwell, but that a product being used for mental-health support is fundamentally misleading, escalating, and reinforcing dangerous thoughts. AI Diagnosed with Mental Illness Researchers at the University of Luxembourg treated the models as patients rather than tools that deliver therapy. They ran multi-week …
Did Monks Invent Paulaner Beer? | A Catholic Brewing Fun Fact | Interesting Story about Paulaner Yes — one of the world’s most famous beers was truly brewed by monks. The Paulaner Brewery was founded in 1634 by monks of the Order of Minims at a monastery in Munich. The brewery is named after their founder, Saint Francis of Paola, whose image still appears on the Paulaner logo today. During the strict fasting of Lent, solid food was forbidden. To survive the 40 days, the monks brewed a strong, nutrient-rich beer known as Doppelbock, famously called “liquid bread.” Their original brew was named Salvator — Latin for Saviour — and inspired the tradition of ending many doppelbock beers with the suffix “-ator.” The first official record of Paulaner comes from a complaint letter written by rival brewers in 1634, upset by the monastery’s successful beer sales! Though no longer owned by the Church, Paulaner remains one of the elite Munich Six breweries permitted to serve beer at Oktoberfest …More
Hl. Franz von Paola Der Paulanerorden(Ordo Minimorum – Mindeste Brüder, Minimiten, Paulaner, OrdenskürzelOM oder OMinim) wurde von dem heiligenFranz von Paola gegründet. Die Ordensgemeinschaft besteht aus Ordenspriestern und Ordensbrüdern. Die Paulaner sind nicht zu verwechseln mit den Paulinern oder den Barnabiten, die man mit Bezug auf den Apostel Paulus auch als Paulaner bezeichnet. Die Ordensgemeinschaft der Paulaner entwickelte sich um den eremitisch lebenden Franz von Paola (1416–1507), der viele Gleichgesinnte fand, die mit ihm im italienischen Cosenza ein Kloster gründeten. Franz von Paola war aufgrund eines Versprechens seiner Eltern als Jugendlicher in ein Franziskanerkloster gegeben worden, trat dem Orden aber nicht bei. Er ließ sich später bei einer Grotte in der Nähe seines Heimatortes Paola als Einsiedler nieder, wo sich ihm erste Brüder anschlossen. Die Mitglieder dieser Gemeinschaft nannten sich selbst „die mindersten Brüder“ als Superlativ der …More

Let me give you a hint... 0 , I was married to one, her entire family is living either in Florida or Chile, they don’t have sweet words for the regime and they don’t care about Trump's methods or his desire to get Venezuelan oil. The horror some of my friends endured, one of my friends had to sell her apartment and the family business (2 bakeries), 2 out 6 employees of my sister's business had to do odd related jobs to try and get established despite having an university degree and spent a small fortune to study them (business admin and agricultural engineering).

New Archbishop of Cape Town Gave “Collective Absolution” at Ecumenical Gathering: Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Sithembele Anton Sipuka, 65, as Archbishop of Cape Town on January 9. In October 2024, Sipuka had been elected President of the ecumenical body 'South African Council of Churches' (SACC). At the SACC’s National Day of Prayer in June 2025, the program included a “collective confession of sins.” A woman introducing the segment in the recorded video declared: “Beloved in Christ, let us confess our sins before the Almighty.” The congregation was then led through a national confession, explicitly naming colonialism, apartheid, racism, corruption, violence, and injustice. Participants were instructed to repeat the text aloud together. Following this confession, Monsignor Sipuka addressed the largely Protestant assembly with words resembling absolution: “And so let us accept the gracious forgiveness of God. Christ died for us while we were yet sinners. That proves God’s love towards us. …More
During the National Day of Prayer ecumenical service in June 2025, held at Grace Bible Church in Soweto, the South African Council of Churches led a collective confession of sins introduced with the words: “Beloved in Christ, let us confess our sins before the Almighty.” The congregation was then guided through a national confession, naming historical and social sins such as colonialism, apartheid, racism, corruption, violence, and injustice. Immediately following this confession, the Catholic Bishop Sipuka declared forgiveness, stating: “By the grace of God and the love of Christ, you are forgiven.”
True.I recall when my sister-in-law said she finally felt accepted as part of our big ethnic family when my father had an argument with her. Prior to that he was always coolly polite to her since he wasn't sure yet what to think of her as a wife for his son.
January 13th - Saint of the Day: Saint Hilary of Poitiers, Bishop & Doctor of the Church When the world tried to make Jesus “just a good teacher,” one bishop said: absolutely not. Meet Saint Hilary of Poitiers, the fourth-century heavyweight who fought for the truth that Jesus is fully God. Not “kind of divine.” Not “a lesser being.” True God from true God. Hilary was not even raised Christian, but his search for truth led straight to Scripture and the font of Baptism. Then he got chosen as Bishop of Poitiers and stepped into chaos: the Arian crisis, political pressure, compromised leaders, and a culture that wanted a softer Gospel. Sound familiar? He refused to bend. He got exiled. And instead of going silent, he wrote one of the Church’s greatest defenses of the Holy Trinity in On the Trinity. One of his most striking lines is: “God knows not how to be anything other than love.” And his prayer hits hard for anyone trying to stay faithful under …More
Hl. Hilarius von Poitiers - Gedenktag: am 13. Januar Bischof, Kirchenlehrer * um 315 Poitiers † Anfang Januar 367 daselbst Hilarius, in Poitiers um 315 geboren, im Mannesalter getauft; um 350 Bischof in seiner Heimatstadt. Er kämpfte gegen die arianische Irrlehre (Leugnung der Gottheit Christi), darin dem hl. Athanasius vergleichbar (2. Mai). Von Kaiser Konstantius wurde er nach dem Osten des Reiches verbannt. Dort schrieb er sein Hauptwerk „Über die Dreifaltigkeit“. Nach dem Tod des Konstantius konnte Hilarius wieder nach Poitiers zurückkehren, wo er um 367 starb. Er war ein Kenner der Heiligen Schrift (Erklärungen zu den Psalmen und zum Matthäusevangelium) und verfasste auch lateinische Hymnen. Das Unsagbare „Es blieb mir nichts anderes übrig: Mit meinen ungeschickten Worten versuchte ich, die unaussprechlichen Mysterien zu erklären. An die Zufälligkeiten der menschlichen Sprache lieferte ich die Geheimnisse aus, die eigentlich in der gläubigen und ehrfürchtigen Seele verwahrt …More
«Satan really will succeed in infiltrating to the top of the Church.» "At last, those who will survive all of these events will once more proclaim God and His Glory and serve Him like before, when the world was not so corrupted. Go, My child and proclaim this! I shall always remain by your side to help you." THE THIRD SECRET OF FATIMA A great chastisement will fall on the entire human race; not today as yet, not tomorrow, but in the second half of the Twentieth Century. No longer does order reign anywhere and Satan will reign over the highest places directing the course of events. He (Satan) really will succeed in infiltrating to the top of the Church. Also for the Church a time of Her greatest trials will come. Cardinals will oppose Cardinals; Bishops will oppose Bishops and Satan will march amid their ranks, and in Rome there will be changes. What is rotten will fall, and what will fall will never rise again. The Church will be darkened and the world deranged by terror. A great war …More

What a beautiful and kind smile! Prevost is so photogenic, darling of the camera and stage. We should call him "a smiling Pope", just like his predecessor and master was "a breath of fresh air" and "sooo humble".
