Questions
Who makes these?
Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic, writes every script under a written production guide, and the open-source Kokoro voice reads them. Every page and video says so. The project is free and open source.
Are they faithful to Church teaching?
They aim to be. Every Catechism and Scripture reference is checked against the text before a short is published, and apologetics shorts cite where the teaching is written down. They are not official Church teaching and no bishop has reviewed them; for anything that matters, ask a priest or read the Catechism paragraph cited.
Why include the other side?
Because people deserve the strongest form of an objection, not a straw man. Each apologetics short has a "Fair to the other side" note saying what other Christians actually believe and why, and how a Catholic answers it.
Can I repost the videos?
Yes. Scripts, cards and videos are CC BY-SA 4.0: post them on your own channels, parish screens or classes, keep the credit and the AI disclosure, and share changes under the same licence.
