In this video, we expose a critical problem shaping modern society: the dominance of false information online caused by popularity-based algorithms in search engines and AI systems like ChatGPT. While we are surrounded by more information than ever before, much of what we read, watch, and hear is not based on truth—but on what is repeated most often, shared most widely, or sells most easily.

We explore how these systems reward what is popular over what is accurate, how this distorts public understanding in education, religion, science, and politics, and how it parallels the effects of democracy, where the uninformed majority directs society instead of truth and virtue.

If you’re concerned about the collapse of truth in the digital age and want to understand what’s really happening behind the screens, this is a message you need to hear.

"By reason of their special vocation it belongs to the laity to seek the kingdom of God by engaging in temporal affairs and directing them according to God's will.... It pertains to them in a special way so to illuminate and order all temporal things with which they are closely associated that these may always be effected and grow according to Christ and maybe to the glory of the Creator and Redeemer." -Catechism of the Catholic Church, par. 898 Mr. William C.

Created in Wisdom: A Catholic Defense of a 6,000-Year-Old World

In this video, we present a philosophical and theological defense of the belief that the world is approximately 6,000 years old and was created instantaneously by God—not in six literal days, and certainly not over billions of years. Drawing from the teachings of St. Augustine and the classical Catholic tradition, this talk explains why the six-day structure in Genesis should be understood as a philosophical framework, not a chronological sequence, and why modern scientific dating methods—built on unprovable assumptions—fail to demonstratively refute the traditional view of creation.

We also address common questions about dinosaurs, radiometric dating, and the fossil record, showing how each can be reasonably understood within a Catholic worldview that respects both divine revelation and the limits of empirical science. This is not a defense of "young earth creationism" as popularly defined, but a return to a deeper, more coherent understanding of creation, rooted in wisdom and guided by the light of faith.

• The urgent call to defend truth, faith, and sound doctrine

🔔 Whether you're a Catholic scholar, student, or truth-seeker, this encyclical remains deeply relevant in today’s age of intellectual confusion.
