Not the parent, but products like it are strongly Protestant Evangelical-coded, so that could actually be a selling point for the intended audience

I agree with the Pope’s point. Priests should not hand pastoral judgment to a model. BibleGuided has church management tools plus optional AI help for drafting and organizing, with the priest making the final call.

For community context, we avoid confessional and private pastoral data. It is opt-in from congregants, then aggregated and anonymized into themes and trends.

We think AI can be a helpful tool across many areas, including faith, and over time many church leaders (of many denominations) will get comfortable using it in bounded, and responsible ways. If a church does not want AI used for homilies, those features can be toggled off and the rest of our tools still work.

To be fair ignoring and occasionally kidnapping the pope is a time honoured Catholic tradition.

If they're Protestant, that might be a point in its favor :)
