4 No son ustedes los que me han elegido, soy yo quien los ha elegido y los ha destinado para que vayan y den fruto. Juan 15:16 ÁMENSE UNOS A OTROS En el Evangelio para el Sexto Domingo de Pascua nos encontramos con un desafío extraordinario. Jesús nos dice: ámense unos a otros como yo los he amado (Juan 15:12). La carta del apóstol san Juan retoma este mandamiento. Por supuesto, debemos amar a nuestros familiares, nuestros colegas, las personas que nos agradan. Pero la Sagrada Escritura aclara que también debemos amar a los que ignoramos, a los que evitamos deliberadamente e incluso a los que nos sentimos tentados de despreciar. En la selección de los Hechos de los Apóstoles para este domingo, Pedro nos muestra hasta dónde llega el amor de Dios y hasta dónde debe llegar nuestra respuesta de amor. Pedro comprende que Dios ya no hace distinciones y no comparte su amor divino exclusivamente con los judíos. Cristo ha revelado que el amor de Dios llega a todas las personas y lo mismo debe hacer el nuestro. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

CNS photo/mike Crupi, Catholic Courier TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION In ancient Rome, the beautiful month of May was dedicated to the goddess Flora, the patroness of flowers and new life. May 1 was considered the beginning of abundant growth, and a day for public festivals aimed at expelling winter. Even after Christianity took hold, the customs of the pagan feast lingered behind. Long ago, there was a thirty-day devotion to Mary, sometimes called Lady Month, which began on August 15. By the eighteenth century, the custom of assigning devotions to months of the year was developing. June, for example, was the month of the Sacred Heart, and October was for the Holy Rosary. Beginning with the Jesuit Order in Rome and spreading throughout the world, May has been celebrated as the month of Mary, the Blessed Mother, for more than two hundred years. That was a welcome remedy to some enduring pagan practices, such as maypole dancing and the crowning of the May Queen. Some historians say that in ancient times the May Queen was actually a human sacrifice. Devoting May to Mary is undoubtedly a better thing to do. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S.

Please consider supporting the 2018 Catholic Appeal and help our parish achieve its goal. world news: Why Catholics should beware as high-tech deepfake videos emerge Dallas, Texas, Apr 25, 2018 / 03:01 am (CNA).- Like any figure of importance, there is high likelihood that the Pope or another Catholic leader could be the subject of a fake video using a rapidly improving technology and everyone needs to take care not to empower such a hoax, said Rudolph Bush, director of journalism at the University of Dallas. It s very likely to happen, I think, and the consequences could be serious, Bush told CNA April 23. Depending on who is targeted by this, depending on how ripe that target is to be manipulated, it could be very damaging. For Bush, the prospect is really worrisome, given reports that social media have been used to incite societies during elections or times of racial or ethnic tensions. These tensions are manipulated to foment not only political strife but war and in some cases genocide. Bush has worked as a professional journalist since 1997, serving as Dallas and Enterprise editor at the Dallas Morning News. He has written for the Chicago Tribune and the Dallas Morning News on politics and crime. He spoke in response to the development of so-called deepfake videos, which are created with artificial intelligence software. One video published by Buzzfeed appeared to feature former U.S. President Barack Obama in a public service announcement about fake news. We re entering an era in which our enemies can make it look like anyone is saying anything at any point in time even if they would never say those things, Obama s image said. So, for instance, they could have me say things like, I don t know, Killmonger was right! said the digitally modified president, referring to the antagonist in the 2018 hit movie Black Panther who aimed to launch a global African uprising. In the video, Obama appears to insult President Donald Trump and make fun of Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson, before it is revealed that the president s image is a digital modification. His lips have been synchronized with those of filmmaker Jordan Peele, who has acted as an Obama impersonator. This is a dangerous time. Moving forward, we need to be more vigilant with what we trust from the internet, Peele s Obama says. The footage of President Obama was manipulated and set to a script. Adobe After Effects and a program called FakeApp were used. Rendering of the clip took about 56 hours. Peele, a filmmaker who won an Oscar for the movie Get Out, conceived the video with his brother-in-law BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti. With the prospect of such videos, Bush said, one has to work to straighten out what is fake news and what is real news. What it does is sow seeds of distrust and worry in societies, he said. And of course democracies are based on communal trust, the idea we can get together and solve our problems peacefully. The rise of the deepfake video also poses the question: will falsehood triumph? There used to be an old saying that the truth will win out. That is something that we based our societies on, our journalism on: over time, what is true will carry more weight than what is false, Bush continued. That s being tested now. 8 diocese & world NEWS

9 Researchers developed a technology called Face2Face, which lets users control the facial expressions and audio of another actor or person in real-time video. Youtube still image provided by Business Insider. We live in an age when there is so much false information, at such a volume, that it can be hard to sort out what is true, he said. We have a responsibility as consumers to verify what is true, and when we understand what is true, to share it with our fellow parishioners. He advised readers to find trusted sources of information within their community, whether in their church community or in the local newspaper, and to rely on those. This is a really difficult conversation in our society: whether people will trust the so-called traditional media or mainstream media, Bush said. A great deal of effort has been put into sowing distrust in those organizations. Know from where your news comes. That s very important. Both the fundamentals of Catholic teaching and of journalism and communication have shared priorities: we seek truth, and we also verify truth, said Bush. That has to be a priority when we go and we communicate. It s a responsibility to communicate truthfully, to make sure the information we re disseminating is truthful, it s verified, that it s critically appraised, before we start disseminating it, he said. Otherwise we just become part of the problem. For Bush, it is hard to say whether the new video technology will fundamentally change the media environment or simply continue current trends. People have become more savvy about relatively new technological hoaxes, such as scam s promising money from a Nigerian prince, he noted. Nobody believes that kind of stuff anymore. So we do adapt, Bush said. At the same time, as these things become more sophisticated, particularly if they re used by state actors or groups with a high level of understanding of what it takes to manipulate a society or a group, then we ll see whether we can parse what s real or not real. By Kevin Jones Prior to deepfakes, the technology was being explored as early as 2015 by researchers from Stanford, the Max Planck Institue for Informatics and the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. Pictured is how the technology uses a webcam to mimic the person s facial expressions.
