Theological Computing Initiative

About Us

The Theological Computing Research Group at the University of Wisconsin – River Falls explores the integration of Catholic theology and computational science. Inspired by the pioneering spirit of Blessed Carlo Acutis, we aim to advance faith formation and foster digital sanctuaries that reflect the beauty and sanctity of the Catholic tradition.

“Our goal must be infinite, not the finite. The infinite is our homeland. Heaven has been waiting for us forever.” – Blessed Carlo Acutis

Our Objectives

• Develop computational frameworks for theological concepts using AI, systems theory, and data analysis.
• Create sanctified digital spaces through projects like the Cathedral of Code.
• Investigate topics such as AI, the intercession of saints, and Blessed Carlo Acutis’s website as a digital relic.
• Collaborate with theologians, computer scientists, and scholars to advance computational theology.
• Engage students and the community in research that highlights technology’s value as a tool for faith exploration.

Our Commitment

We are committed to:

• Academic excellence and fidelity to Catholic teachings.
• Innovating technology to serve the Church and society.
• Inspiring new generations to explore faith, reason, and technology.
