As I write this (8 May 2026), the Church is celebrating the First Anniversary of the election of the Holy Father Leo XIV to the See of Peter. I can still remember the excitement and joy I felt a year ago when I was in our TV room with other priests and brothers of the...

Since the outbreak of the 2026 US-Israel-Iran War and later on with the very public spat between the White House and the Holy See, internet search for the Just War Theory has spiked world wide. Politicians of all ideologies and internet sleuths were dabbling in...

by Jerome Ypulong | January 24, 2026 | Science and Technology | 0 Comments

AI is integrated into daily life, influencing various sectors like social media and e-commerce.

Yup, you might be getting tired of it, but here I am, just a few days after Christmas, writing about AI. Well, for various reasons. First of all, Merriam-Webster announced that 2025’s Word of the Year is “slop”, that is, AI slop or that low quality AI generated...

Russel

Lennon

Russel and Lennon had been friends since childhood. They started as Altar Servers of their parish where they began to love Sophia -wisdom- and search for her. Reading and discussing anything that tickles their curiosity, the two friends began to research and share more of their knowledge in religion, society, and philosophy.

With the two now living their life in their own distinct fields -Russel is a civil servant while Lennon is a consecrated person- their passion and vocation of teaching compelled them to open up their private friendly discussions to wider set of friends through TUUMT.
