		“Spiritual Gluttony and the Sacrament of Confession”: The document 
		explores spiritual gluttony — the excessive craving for emotional or 
		sensory sweetness in spiritual life — and how it distorts one’s 
		participation in the Sacrament of Confession. Drawing mainly from St. 
		John of the Cross, Thomas Aquinas, John Cassian, and the Catechism of 
		the Catholic Church, it presents both the dangers and the remedies for 
		this subtle vice.

		Intercessory Prayer Is a Universal Christian Duty 
		(MagiesteriumAI): 
		“The Catechism states that ‘the prayer of intercession consists in 
		asking on behalf of another. It knows no boundaries and extends to one's 
		enemies.’ This reflects Jesus' own command to love our neighbour — a 
		love that is not limited to those we know personally but embraces the 
		whole human family.”
		
		
		What Is Nihilistic Violence — Response 
		(via M365CoPilot): “‘Nihilistic 
		violence’ refers to acts of violence that are driven by a belief in the 
		meaninglessness of life, morality, or social structures. It’s often 
		associated with a rejection of all religious, moral, and societal 
		values, where the perpetrator sees no inherent purpose or value in 
		existence — and thus may feel justified in destroying it. August 27,
