The Mission

For most of our history, Catholics stood at the bleeding edge of discovery, craftsmanship, and original thought. Yet somewhere along the way, we lost the thread — and today we often come across as a relic, buried under accumulated layers of culture.

But those aren’t the Catholics I know. It’s not me either. It’s only a story we’ve quietly accepted.

I’ve spent years trying to figure out the root cause, and I’ve concluded it’s because we’ve lost a language capable of communicating the faith with the precision and detail today’s society expects. What once sounded like crisp, pure logic is now obscured behind a fuzzy haze of philosophizing. Theologians have become something like disengaged archaeologists of religion, and what was once mathematical exactness now lies on the same relativistic heap as the rest of the humanities.

I decided to take concrete action. In my book Design Patterns of Catholic God, I tried to create a proof of concept — a new, legitimate way of explaining the faith to people who don't try to live detached from science and technology, but simply live in the world as it is. In the book, I intentionally avoided anything time-specific: no commentary on current society, nothing topical. I wanted it to be as timeless as possible.

But at the beginning of 2026, I realized that wasn’t enough. With AI now looming as both a threat to humanity and an unused chance for good, I decided I needed to start writing about how the doctrine applies to our present moment. I come from a software engineering background, and I’m fully immersed in our exploration of science and technology. My mission is to help bridge the communication gap — and to suggest concrete steps to take, concrete books to be written, and tools to be built that are needed to put our house back in order.
