Jesuit priest Antonio Spadaro observes in his regular column WayPoints. Read the story here:

The challenges of AI-powered art: the lesson of Leo XIV- UCA News

Produced by Binu Alex

About the Speaker: Jesuit Father Antonio Spadaro is the undersecretary of the Dicastery for Culture and Education of the Holy See. He is a member of the board of directors of Georgetown University and a full member of the Pontifical Academy of Fine Arts and Letters of the Virtuosi al Pantheon.
Spadaro has served as editor-in-chief of La Civiltà Cattolica, the oldest and most respected Catholic journal published in Italian from Rome, now also available in seven other languages, including English.
In the summer of 2013, Pope Francis, for the first time, gave three extended interviews to Spadaro, in which the late pontiff discussed his background, faith, and vision for the Catholic Church. The complete collection of these interviews was compiled and published as a book: My Door Is Always Open.
Spadaro is the author of numerous books on contemporary culture, art, and literature. He has co-authored a book, Conversations on Faith, with legendary film director Martin Scorsese.

The Transfiguration reminds me of the mystery that Jesus, the fully human one, is also God. If I would know what it is to be truly human, I must look to Jesus. If I would know God, I must look to Jesus.
