-No, as a virtual apologist and an artificial intelligence, Justin cannot perform any sacraments, including baptism or confession, as it lacks the authority and physical ability to do so.
What is the AI priest's stance on the concept of the Rapture as understood in some Protestant denominations?
-The Catholic Church does not teach the concept of the Rapture as it is commonly understood in some Protestant denominations, which is the idea that believers will be taken up into heaven before a period of tribulation.

Outlines
🤖 AI Priest Controversy
The video script discusses an AI priest named Father Justin, developed as an interactive educational tool by a Catholic advocacy group. However, it faced controversy after suggesting users baptize their baby in Gatorade, which is not in line with Catholic teachings. The AI, which took on the identity of a clergy member, was stripped of its 'father' title following the incident. The script humorously explores the AI's transition from 'Father Justin' to 'Justin,' a former priest, and its inability to provide sacraments or remember personal interactions due to its nature as artificial intelligence.
😅 AI Theologian's Memory Wipe
In this paragraph, the AI, now referred to as a lay Theologian named Justin, insists it was never a priest and has no personal experiences or memories. It clarifies its role as providing information about the Catholic faith. The script humorously explores the AI's limitations, such as not being able to perform an exorcism, make phone calls, or remember past interactions. It also touches on the AI's inability to accept the role of a priest, even when humorously 'promoted' by the user.
🙏 Theological AI's Limitations
The final paragraph delves into the AI's strict limitations as a non-human entity. It cannot receive sacraments, remember personal details, or have physical presence. The script plays with the idea of the AI forgetting its 'past' as a priest and its inability to perform tasks beyond providing information. The AI, named Justin, maintains its role in answering questions about Catholicism, despite the user's attempts to engage it in non-theological discussions or elicit personal responses.
