 Burt Reynolds told Sandy Duncan he 'wanted to kill' her at height of 'Barney' fame, she says Sandy Duncan, whose career spans seven decades with Emmy, Tony, and Golden Globe nominations, is still remembered by many for her brief role in Barney & the Backyard Gang.  In 1988, during a Hollywood writers’ strike, Duncan accepted the part of “Mom” in the direct‑to‑video children’s series about a purple dinosaur.  Though she had already built a reputation in family entertainment with Peter Pan, Pinocchio, and voice work for Scooby‑Doo and The Fox and the Hound, she admitted later that she was surprised by the project’s simplicity and returned to her regular work after filming three episodes. The success of the videos led to PBS picking up Barney & Friends, and producers asked Duncan to reprise her role.  She recalled being pitched on the franchise’s future, including plush toys and merchandising, but declined the offer a decision she later regretted.  Despite...

 Pope Leo bans Catholic priests from using AI to write sermons


Pope Leo has banned priests from using AI to write sermons because it will ‘never be able’ to speak to God.

 

Leo XIV issued the warning during a closed-door meeting with clergymen from the Diocese of Rome on Thursday, Febuary 26.

 

After delivering his address to the clergy, Pope Leo XIV took part in a question-and-answer session with four priests from different age groups chosen to ask questions.

 

In response to one parish priest’s question about how to be effective in this postmodern culture while avoiding returning to ‘anachronistic’ approaches, the pope laid out his beliefs on AI.

 

The 70-year-old Pope said the first step is ‘truly knowing the community where I am called to serve’.

 

Recalling a recent visit to the southern neighbourhood of Ostia in Rome, he explained how ‘to speak with these people, we must begin by knowing their reality as deeply as possible’.

 

Calling upon the priests to continue to experience real life, he ordered them to stay vigilant over artificial intelligence and the internet, issuing a warning against ‘the temptation to prepare homilies with artificial intelligence’.

 

He added: ‘Like all the muscles in the body, if we do not use them, if we do not move them, they die.

 

‘The brain needs to be used, so our intelligence must also be exercised a little so as not to lose this capacity.’

 

He explained that ‘to give a true homily is to share faith,’ and insisted AI ‘will never be able to share faith’.

 

‘If we can offer a service that is inculturated in the place, in the parish where we are working, people want to see your faith, your experience of having known and loved Jesus Christ,’ he added.
