AI is not just transforming society — it’s beginning to touch something far more personal: how people experience faith, prayer, and spiritual life.

TODAY at 1:00 p.m. EST, join host Edmundo Reyes (Digital Continent) for a live conversation:

“AI: Should AI have a place in my faith journey?”

Together with Catholic leaders working at the intersection of faith and technology: Fr. Stephen Wang (Rector, The Venerable English College, Rome), Sean Graber (President of EWTN Digital & EWTN Religious Catalogue), and Drago Dimitrov (CEO, Holy Habits)

We’ll reflect on whether and how AI can help foster deeper relationships with God, strengthen community, and support understanding of Church teaching — while also naming the real ethical limits and spiritual risks.

We’ll explore:
• How AI may support personal spiritual growth
• Where ethical boundaries are essential
• The dangers of over-reliance on technology in matters of faith
• Real stories of how Catholics are already engaging with AI in their faith journeys

This is a thoughtful, pastoral conversation about discernment, responsibility, and hope.

At the heart of the 2025 Builders AI Forum was a simple question: What kind of future do we want artificial intelligence to help build? Pope Leo XIV addressed the Forum with a reminder that technology must always serve the human person.

Across two days in Rome, leaders from more than 160 organizations met for practical, solutions-focused conversations on AI in education, healthcare, business, and ministry. This 7-minute highlight video gives you a quick look at the ideas and voices that defined the gathering.

Thank you to Catholikey for creating this video.

While the world races to push AI further, the Builders AI Forum asked a deeper question: who will write the code, both digital and moral, that shapes the future of AI?

Pope Leo XIV called us to shape technology with conscience and care for every human life.

Thank you ROME REPORTS for capturing the story. Watch the report. Link in the comments.

When people lose their jobs to machines, they don’t just lose work — they lose part of how they understand who they are.

During our most recent Builders AI Forum webinar, Edmundo Reyes from Digital Continent reminded us that this isn’t just an economic challenge — it’s a spiritual one.

The Church has a mission here: to comfort, accompany, and help people rediscover their dignity in a world being reshaped by technology.

“AI will make people ask the deepest questions — about who we are, what intelligence means, and what it means to be human.”

Maybe this isn’t the end of something — but the beginning of a new springtime of evangelization.

In a world where productivity often defines worth, the Church offers a radical alternative:

Our work isn’t dignified because of what it achieves — it’s dignified because we are.

At our most recent Builders AI Forum webinar, Emily Mentock of Real + True reflected on how the Church can help the world rediscover what it means to be human — not as workers or data points, but as people loved into existence.

As AI reshapes how we work, maybe this is the truth we need to protect most.

🎙️ “No one can ever take your God-given calling away.”

During our most recent Builders AI Forum webinar, Zac Johnson from Truthly reminds us that our vocation is more than our job — it’s a divine calling that no technology can replace.

💡 “If I lose my job, that just highlights the most important question: What was I created for?”

Watch the full webinar to hear more inspiring insights like this.

Most conversations about AI start with fear.

But as Edmundo Reyes from Digital Continent put it during our most recent Builders AI Forum webinar, the Church’s role isn’t to panic — it’s to translate.
• To help people see what AI is (and what it isn’t).
• To help leaders navigate a new pastoral reality.
• To bring centuries of moral and philosophical wisdom into a world that’s asking brand-new questions.

“How do we move from fear to confidence — through wisdom.”

Watch this short clip. If it sparks something in you, share it — and help someone else see technology through a lens of hope, not anxiety. Link to the full webinar in the comments.

When the apostles set out to spread the Gospel, they didn’t build a new road system.

They used Rome’s.

As Ryan Scheel of Fuzati reminded us at our most recent Builders AI Forum webinar, the same Roman roads that enabled conquest and bloodshed also became the paths through which Christianity reached the world.

The lesson? Technology itself isn’t holy or corrupt — it’s human intention that gives it purpose.

Maybe AI is our modern road system — and the question is how we choose to travel it.
