trained the computer program solely in the Catechism of the Catholic
Church. The result:

with the Catechism in a natural, conversational format. Catholic.chat is
surprisingly user-friendly.…simply invites the user to: “Get Answers from
the Catechism of the Catholic Church.” Then the user is told to:
“Select a chat experience below and ask your question.” After that, there
are three levels of engagement to choose from: “Child,” “Adult,”

"Is it a Sin to Attend a Wedding in a Protestant Church?": by Fr.
Gary Benz, January 7, 2021, Diocese of Bismarck. "This is a dilemma for
many Catholics and what makes it even more problematic is that canon law
does not directly and specifically address this issue. Therefore, I
would suggest prayerful discernment, a discussion with one’s pastor, and
a consideration of the following insights I set forth, having dealt with
this issue now for over 20 years as a pastor. It is a sensitive matter
and must be addressed on various levels."

Antidotes for Male Teenage Sloth: May 15, 2023 | Phillip Campbell.
“Sloth is generally defined as laziness. But it is not mere laziness; it
is a preference for ease and comfort, a reluctance to do hard things.…It
is often accompanied by indifference or boredom. Sloth is a disposition
towards whatever is easy and comfortable — it is a habitual preference for
the path of least resistance.”

Fighting Acedia: Choosing God at All Times (Simply Catholic). “Acedia
is the…way of talking about sloth. But it is much more than a simple
laziness or lack of desire to do anything worthwhile. It is an infliction
of the soul that attacks desire: we listen to it and become unable to
follow through on our intentions. Because we don’t act on intentions, we
feel dull, numb and spiritual dead. To put the definition in a more pithy
fashion: acedia creates in us the inability to choose the good.
