In an age where technology advances faster than wisdom, we are once again reminded that human dignity takes precedence. The Catholic Church has always addressed transformations at their beginning, before they reshape society. This was true in the encyclical Rerum Novarum by Pope Leo XIII, and it is precisely what Pope Leo XIV is doing now. He is addressing the pressing questions of our time: AI, truth, and moral responsibility. Looking forward to Magnifica Humanitas , which will hopefully shed light on this topic and reaffirm the same fundamental truth that the Church has held for decades: technology should serve humanity, never replace it.
Oh, people, you desecrate the most sacred name to justify your wars. When will you repent? God commands peace. God commands love. It is you who have brought these wars upon yourselves. “Put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.” (Matthew 26:52)
Let us offer our prayers for the martyrs who died in the Israeli bombardment of the Catholic parish in Gaza. Let us also pray for the parish priest’s speedy recovery. 🙏
