CIA-Faith Mission Operatives ministry is excited to announce: “AI – Why It Matters to Pope Leo” by Terry Mattingly on April 27th at Xavier Fine Arts

AI (an acronym for artificial intelligence) has been a major concern of Pope Leo since the beginning of his pontificate. He has spoken often about it and warned people of faith to be wary of the risks posed by this and other technologies that contribute to today’s dominant digital culture.

Because of the Pope’s concerns, our 2025-2026 Investigate Your Faith Series will wrap up its season with AI – WHY IT MATTERS TO POPE LEO, a presentation by Terry Mattingly, on Monday, April 27th at 7 p.m. in the Xavier Fine Arts Theatre. 

Mattingly is a nationally recognized veteran journalist and professor who’s been writing about religion in American life for more than four decades. (Check him out at Rational Sheep blog and podcast.)

No tickets needed! Free will offering encouraged. For details, please visit: https://sites.google.com/site/ciafmo/events-1.
