### 5/5 — Catholic AI

*2026-09-08*

This is one of the best Catholic AI’s I have used, other catholic ai’s do a great job of lots of sources but this ai has focused its app on the catechism of the Catholic Church and the bible which together to study those deeply is so powerful truly great work look forward to the future of this app.

### 14.0.0 — 2026-09-21

THE CHURCH FATHERS ARE HERE

Seventeen works, added in full and free to everyone:

• Augustine's Confessions — all thirteen books
• Ignatius of Antioch — all seven authentic letters
• 1 and 2 Clement
• Polycarp to the Philippians, and the Martyrdom of Polycarp
• The Epistle of Barnabas
• The Epistle to Diognetus
• The Shepherd of Hermas
• The Fragments of Papias
• The Martyrdom of Ignatius

These are the earliest Christian writings outside Scripture — men who
learned from the Apostles themselves, or from those who did. Now you can
read them, search them, and ask about them.

A REAL READER FOR THEM

Every work has a table of contents by book and chapter, full-text search,
and jump-to-reference. Select any passage and ask about it — the answer
comes back grounded on exactly what you selected, without losing your
place. The same reader you already have for the Bible and the Catechism.

ANSWERS THAT USE THE WHOLE LIBRARY

Questions used to come back heavy on the Catechism. Answers now draw on
Scripture, the Catechism and the Fathers together — Scripture leading,
the Catechism defining, the Fathers testifying. Every citation is
tappable and opens the passage it came from.

The app also knows what it holds. Ask about Confessions and it will tell
you about Confessions, rather than claiming it doesn't have the book.

A DEMO BEFORE YOU SIGN UP

Ask a real question during setup and watch a real answer come back, with
real citations, before you make an account. It thinks it through fresh
every time.

FIXES

• Text no longer reappears in the chat box after you send it
• Citation context opens cleanly instead of jumping
• The sources under an answer now list the Fathers alongside Scripture
  and the Catechism

Iron Faith is one man building for his brothers. If something is broken
or missing, write to ironfaithapp@gmail.com — I read everything.
