Staff Talks with Francis: When Information Replaces Intimacy

As information becomes more accessible than ever, many of us feel the pressure to have answers for everything. But what happens when the constant stream of opinions, arguments, and competing voices leaves us feeling more overwhelmed than confident? In this Staff Talk, Francis reflects on the challenge of pursuing truth in a noisy world and the peace that comes from returning to what matters most. As he shares honestly about his own struggles with information overload, he offers a reminder that our greatest need isn't to know everything; it's to walk closely with God. Francis explores the role of AI, humility, spiritual discernment, and why the people who may have the most to offer the Church today are those whose lives reveal a deep and genuine relationship with Christ. When the noise is overwhelming, the answer may not be more information, but greater intimacy with God.
