On parenting in impossible times

The Catholic Spirit reported on the challenges of parenting during times of community threats, such as school emergencies. The commentary noted that when families face such crises, focus shifts from daily concerns like grades or homework to basic needs including safety, peace, protection, and health.

The piece referenced Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical Magnifica Humanitas and intended to address the intersection of artificial intelligence and family life. However, the author stated that immediate concerns regarding physical safety and the protection of loved ones take precedence over discussions on technology.
