Over the centuries Thomas Aquinas has been called a common doctor due in part to the profundity of his writings across many disciplines. Catholics are not alone in this assessment, as Protestants today are recognizing that Aquinas is a reservoir of wisdom.

Have you read Magnifica Humanitas? Msgr. Swetland, President of Donnelly College, will be presenting "What Does it Mean to be Human in the Age of AI" on August 10 at St Michael the Archangel Parish from 7PM-8:30PM.

Signed on May 15, 2026, this document calls the Church and all people of good will to engage the promises and dangers of artificial intelligence through the lens of Catholic social teaching and the dignity of the human person.

Drawing on Scripture, the tradition of Pope Leo XIII’s Rerum Novarum, and the vision of the New Evangelization, Msgr. Swetland will guide us through the key themes of the encyclical and what they mean for our lives, our families, and our world.
