This Letter to the Editor responds to Dr. Lily M. Abadal’s essay “Beware of Catholic AI,” published in Public Discourse (November 11, 2025). While affirming the shared goal of forming souls in truth, the author argues that Catholic AI projects such as Magisterium AI are necessary evangelical tools in an increasingly digital and secular world. Abandoning them, he contends, would forfeit a vital mission field to relativist technologies
