Il 13 giugno del 2012, Chiara Corbella moriva a soli 28 anni a causa di un raro tumore alla lingua che aveva rinunciato a curare per salvaguardare il bambino che portava in grembo. Una storia che «ha prodotto e continua a produrre frutti di conversione in molte persone, che vengono spinte a interrogarsi sul senso della vita», veniva detto il giorno dell’apertura della fase diocesana della causa di beatificazione il 21 settembre 2018, nel giorno in cui Chiara avrebbe festeggiato i 10 anni di matrimonio con Enrico, conosciuto a Medjugorje.

Le journal Le Monde du 19 avril 2024 évoque une hausse des baptêmes catholiques en France. Chez les adultes, les chiffres passent d’environ 4278 en 2022, à 7135 en 2024. La hausse est encore plus prononcée chez les jeunes qui enregistrent une augmentation de 1650 en 2022 à 5025 en 2024.

Il faut remarquer que cette hausse des baptêmes survient dans un contexte parfumé de scandales, baisse de la pratique et des vocations et perte d’influence politique. L’historien Charles Mercier, fait remarquer comment cette croissance qui intervient dans un contexte très difficile a été lu comme relevant de la grâce, conformément à une herméneutique chrétienne selon laquelle c’est dans la faiblesse que Dieu se manifeste.

According to a research professor of computer science and an expert in image manipulation, in NBC News, “People want to see it as ‘this is fake image, this is not.” Professor Maura Grossman cautioned that the wide range of tools for media manipulation can lead to a more complicated view of what might count as real.

The new advancements in tech have continued to make an impact on everyday life—from cake designs to political ads, and from personal well-being to sports regulations—leading to a call for a more vigilant society.

One notable benefit that these new techs are providing is ensuring the safety and security of establishments and commercial areas.

Ad ottobre era stato il presidente Biden ad emettere un “ordine esecutivo” per regolamentare l’intelligenza artificiale.

Lo stesso stanno facendo numerosi paesi che cercano di stabilire regole nazionali.
