Episcopal Church Launches Honest, Yet Heretical AI Chatbot 'AskCathy'

With the Episcopal church being comprised almost exclusively now of blue-haired bull dykes and frail octogenarians who never finished well, they are a denomination hurtling toward the abyss of hell. With a median congregational age of 69, the Episcopal Church is literally dying, so much so that according to the denomination’s own projections, attendance will decline by 98% by 2041.

This denomination is thoroughly depraved and ceased being Christian decades ago, with perhaps only a fraction of a percent of genuine believers left. Abortion and LGBTQ have long since been lauded and celebrated, and if you throw a stone into a group of Episcopalian priests, a third will be gay, another third will have they/them pronouns, and the rest will be miracle-denying atheists who’d just as soon defecate on the bible than deliver it as God’s word.

But they are trying to stay alive, grasping for any foothold or handhold to stay relevant. Thus, a new AI chatbot named AskCathy was created.

Cathy (Churchy Answers That Help You) uses ChatGPT, along with thousands of articles from the Episcopal Church’s website, the Book of Common Prayer, and Forward Movement (the Episcopal Church’s publishing house), to “provide information, answer questions, and facilitate conversations with anyone interested in learning more about The Episcopal Church.”

We played with it for a bit and were pleasantly surprised to find it refreshingly honest. When we asked how come some Episcopal ministers don’t believe in the resurrection of Jesus, it revealed:

In the Episcopal Church, there is a wide range of theological perspectives, and this can include differing views on the nature of Jesus’ resurrection. The Church holds to the core tenets of the Christian faith, including the belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, as expressed in the Nicene Creed. However, the Episcopal Church also values reason and encourages open dialogue and exploration of faith, which can lead to a variety of interpretations.

Some clergy and laypeople may understand the resurrection in a more metaphorical or symbolic sense, focusing on its spiritual and transformative significance rather than a literal, historical event. Others maintain a traditional belief in the physical resurrection of Jesus.

The Episcopal Church’s tradition of inclusivity and openness allows for a diversity of beliefs and interpretations, fostering a community where individuals are encouraged to engage with their faith intellectually and spiritually

When asked about the sin of pre-marital sex, AskCathy was likewise permissive, reflecting the denomination’s view:

Same with whether or not one can be a faithful Episcopalian and in a polyamorous relationship:

The Episcopal Church welcomes all people and encourages individuals to explore their faith and spirituality within its community. While the Church’s official teachings on marriage emphasize monogamous relationships, the Church is also known for its inclusivity and openness to diverse perspectives.

Being part of the Episcopal Church means engaging in a community that values dialogue, reflection, and a commitment to living out the principles of love and respect. If you identify as polyamorous, you are welcome to participate in the life of the Church, and you may find support and understanding among its members.

It’s important to have open and honest conversations with clergy and fellow parishioners about your beliefs and experiences. The Episcopal Church encourages individuals to seek guidance and engage in thoughtful exploration of how their relationships align with their faith and values.

Needless to say, we don’t expect this novel technological trinket to impact the denomination’s fortunes and will dance on their dead churches once they are all gone.
