There's an interesting parallel here with code generation. The best code written with AI assistance still requires someone who deeply understands what they're building. The AI is a tool for expression, not a replacement for thought.

A homily written by someone who spent the week reflecting on their community's struggles will always be more meaningful than a polished AI-generated one, even if the grammar is worse. The value of a sermon isn't in the prose quality — it's in the authenticity of someone who actually cares about the people listening.

Francis is basically saying: the medium is the message. If you outsource the thinking, you're outsourcing the caring.

The flip side of that is, if you care about your community you want to deliver engaging homilies. And that may not be your personal strength.

Also I believe we're talking about Leo not Francis.
