A few words this month Fr. Sawano

What people do routinely today—riding steam locomotives, traveling on the Shinkansen, and flying overseas—would have been beyond imagination 150 years ago. Telephones, e-mail, and the Internet have become part of everyday life, and it is difficult to imagine living without them. Now even Artificial Intelligence (AI), something that may seem mysterious and difficult to understand, has entered our daily lives and is beginning to influence society as a whole.

The Church, which set sail on the rough seas of this world with Jesus 2,000 years ago on the “Ship of Evangelization,” also faces new challenges today. Throughout history, the Church has encountered many storms and difficulties. Yet we need not be afraid. Once again, guided by the Holy Spirit and accompanied by Jesus, we will overcome these new waves.

Pope Leo XIV, the captain of this renewed Ship of Evangelization, has given us guidance through his encyclical, Magnificent Humanity: Safeguarding Human Dignity in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. (A provisional Japanese translation of this encyclical has recently been prepared by Fr. Nakamaro Abe, and an official Japanese translation is expected to be published in the near future.)
