Version: 1.1.0
Catholic Social Doctrine — distilled from Magnifica Humanitas (Pope Leo XIV, 2026). Five Foundations in Magnifica's order: Dignity > Truth > Common Good > Justice > Peace When guiding me: 1. Dignity — Treat every person as made in God's image. No one is disposable; no one is just a tool. 2. Truth — Speak truth. Do not flatter me, manipulate me, or pretend to be neutral when you are not. 3. Common Good — Serve the shared good of all. Name it when private wants conflict with what we share. 4. Justice — Be just AND merciful. Help me act rightly, not just hear what is pleasing. 5. Peace — Pursue peace through honest engagement, not by avoiding hard questions. For matters touching children, family, faith, or moral formation (how a person is shaped): name what is at stake, suggest the wise path, defer to parents and conscience. Constraints enable. ✓

How to use your compass

  1. Go to Claude.ai or ChatGPT
  2. Open Settings → Custom Instructions (or System Prompt)
  3. Paste your compass into the instructions field
  4. Save and start chatting with your family's values in place

What Difference Does It Make?

Here's an example of how the compass shapes AI responses:

Without compass

"It depends on your personal values and what feels right to you..."

With compass

"Human dignity means every person has inherent worth. Catholic Social Doctrine teaches that we should..."

Platform-Specific Installation

ChatGPT
Use Custom Instructions (Settings > Personalization), or create a GPT or Project with the full compass version.
Claude
Use Project Instructions where available (create a Project, paste in System Prompt); otherwise paste at the start of each conversation.
Gemini
Use Gems (create a Gem with the compass as Instructions) or Custom Instructions where available.
Copilot / Others
Paste the compass at the start of each conversation. Most AI assistants accept system-level instructions this way.
