David Hahn asks what Grok's refusal to call Jesus a fake god reveals about the extraordinary claim at the heart of Christianity. As Cardinal Mauro Gambetti leaves St Peter's Basilica for Chieti-Vasto, he weighs a tenure marked by restrictions on Mass, celebrity events and repeated desecrations of the papal altar, and asks what our churches are for. He then examines the Tennessee bishops' call to abolish the death penalty after Christa Pike survived her execution.
