1. What is the central thesis of the concluding chapter?
*
Human reason and technology alone are sufficient to build a perfect future.
Only by understanding history through the light of Divine Revelation and adopting a "Christic ideopraxis" can humanity build a true Civilization of Love and Peace.
The primary goal of humanity should be to retreat from the world and focus only on individual salvation.
All secular ideologies are equally valid paths to human flourishing.
2. How does the chapter describe the deepest truth of history?
*
As a chaotic series of random events.
As a predictable march of material progress.
As a struggle for power between competing groups.
As a divine "love story" of salvation, into which God invites humanity to be protagonists.
3. A "Christic ideopraxis" is best understood as:
*
A new political party based on Christian principles.
A focus on prayer to the exclusion of all action in the world.
The Social Doctrine of the Church made active and concrete in every sphere of life.
A philosophical system that rejects all modern technology.
4. According to the chapter, what determines whether technologies like AI lead to a dystopia or help build a Civilization of Love?

The speed of their processors.
The amount of funding they receive.
The underlying ideopraxis that creates and wields them.
Their country of origin.

A predetermined script that we cannot change.
A void that must be filled by human ambition alone.
A guaranteed utopia created by technology.
An open invitation from God to collaborate with Him in His work.
